CHAPTER 1 WnF.N Ned Holden dismount- I cd from the westbound train at Bangkok, Siam, the hotel 1 touts and the baggage coolies < rushed at him like a pack of red 1 wolves from the Deccan. He had every appearance of an 1 American tourist on his first trip to 1 the Orient, He was dressed in 1 white with a new sun helmet; he I carried a binocular case on a strap 1 over his shoulder; and had the typi- j cally lean, clean-cut American ' countenance, too dark for Dutch or ' English. Surest proof of all to the 1 sharp-eyed little men on the plat- 1 form, he had dismounted from a first-class carriage, which most Europeans thriftily avoid. The porter who carried his bag would likely get a week’s rice money in one tip. But Americans, they knew, were all a little mad. When they came down upon him like sea gulls on a scrap of flotsam he merely looked amused. When three of the brawniest came to blows over his bag, his dark eyes shone with delight. And just as the winner was bearing off the prize, he did something only a crazy American would dream of doing — with one quick movement matching the bag away and handing it to a little dark coolie with a crippled leg. The lame porter was astonished. He was unaware that the white man had even seen him in the crowd. But this was a very strange kind of white man, if he but knew it. And if he had guessed his thoughts—"A Lamet, from up the country, hat fellow,” Ned Holden was thinking. “Calls himself a Buddhist — really a spirit worshiper. Probably broke his leg cutting teak; his hands look like it. And what a cussin’ I’m getting from those three fighting porters. If they knew I understood ’em, I’d have to bump their heads together." A very strange white man, indeed. An American by blood and instinct, but by a long shot, not a tourist. This was just one of his favorite roles. Just now he was wishing it was not a role at all. He’d change places on the spot with the greenest kind of Yankee sightseer, staring at the Emerald Buddha with a suitcase gay with stickers. Yes, he was sick and ‘ired of identifying Lamet coolies, jf understanding native insults, ol life-long exile among dark-skinned peoples. He’d wasted his money riding in a first-class carriage not merely to act a part, but with the hope of meeting American tourists and joining in their talk. The broader their accent, the better he would like it. He’d wanted to hear them boast of American coffee, and compare the Taj Mahal with the courthouse on Main Street; it would have been music to his ears. Especially he d hoped to find an American girl. His rickshaw took him to a pleasant bungalow set back in a palm garden. A Chinese servant, salaaming deeply, opened the door; an old Siamese rail forward and knelt at his feet. ... , “Lord," he breathed, "thanks to the Shining One that thou are safely home.” Ned reached a big hand and drew the old man erect. "Thy prayers ha -■ cleared my trail of danger. The son is again with his father." The old servant’s face shone; at once he relapsed into the dialect. “Food and drink is ready. AJrcsh sarong lies on my lord's bed. He turned with a scowl to the Chinese boy. “Do not touch his bag. I, KohKen, will carry it, and put the shirts in the drawers. Also, I will serve his meal, as I served his father's before him.” .. . As Koh-Ken left. New noticed a comely native girl in the background and wondered why she was there. At lunch on the cool veranda, Ned and Koh-Ken talked almost as equals. “And did my son achieve the purpose of his journey ?" “Yes, but it was child s play. An Annamite revolutionary had tried to kill the French governor at Hue, then hid away among the villagers on the Don-Nai River. I found him, and a sergeant brought him back in chains. He is now dead.” “And my son’s fee . Was it fitting" * “Fair. Three thousand Deals.

“l fear there are other tasks appointed. Here are many letters.” “Let them go. I wish to rest for three moons. I shall stay among my own kind, and hear the tongue of my people.” Yet he glanced through the letters. As Koh-Ken had guessed, three were offers of commissions. But the coats of arms on the heavy white paper, the seals of proud governments and the signatures of royal governors, showed that these would be no common chores. One was an invitation from a Dutch colonial secretary to investigate a threat of revolution in Northern Sumatra. It

promised excitement and a good fee, but Ned knew only a smattering of the Battaks dialect and was unfitted for the job. , . Another was a carefully worded communication from tho Burmese Ethnological Survey, offering a chance to study “a remarkable secret order among the tribesmen of tho Garo Hills. But no Garo Hills for him, for the time being. He wanted a civilized bed for a change, his favorite chair in the American Club, and plenty of iced gin slings. Just tho same, he’d like to know what those Assamese hill folk were up to now. A third let- ! ter was from tho private secretary of a native prince on the Mekong— Txird of the Million Elephants and the White Parasol— seeking a mysterious appointment at Luang-Pra-hang. But his Majesty could jump in the creek I Ned Holden had I earned a long vacation and, by tho Emerald Buddha himself, he meant to take it. Yet these letters gave him a glow of pride. They proved that he was near the top of his queer profession. He had no rival in his own district—a veritable empire stretching from the Gulf of Tonkin to the Delta of the Ganges and south to the Strait of Malacca —and only half a dozen in the whole Orient. Officially he was an ethnologist. He held a chair in thut science in a Siamese University. Actually tie was one important finger of the long and invisible arm of various colonial governments in the I*ar East, only a j shade removed from an interna- , tional spy. His job was to help main--1 tain the white man’s peace over a million square miles of savage country. His reward came in generous 1 fees, almost more excitement than ! he could digest, and the good fight for the thing he believed in—white | rule over the world. “My son is pleased,” Koh-Ken J murmured, “t t the kings of the whole earth seek his door-step and | do him honor.” Ned quoted a native proverb how . Kublai Khan himself had once dropped hia aceptor to scratch a flea bite.

Pleads (luilty To Non-Support Here Dny TumblcHon, now employed at Wabash, plead guilty this morning ! to a mm-support charge, filed by Ills wife, Josephine Tumblosoii, of ■ this city. He was ordered by Judge : Huber M. DeVoss to pay $5 a week support. A sentence was suspended pending tbo meeting of a S3OO bond for the payment of the support. Mr. Tumbleson was arraigned I liefore Judge DeVoss earlier in the j morning and plead uol guilty, but ‘ later returned to change his plea.

“Nay, but my son is a king too, among my people.” “Your pccplo salaam to me as the monkeys salaam to the parrot—lest he tell the python of their night hidings.” “Yea, you know their many mischiefs. But also you know their hearts. And they know yours, my son—that though you hold by the white man’s law, you are ever their friend. They know how you were nursed by a hill woman." “Would she had been a goatl Then I might have gone to my own kind, a white man among white men, instead of an exile in the jun-

glcs. I might have teen a teller at a bank, perhaps a seller of gasoline, to drink tea at the Consulate with mrmsnhibs. That hill milk was poison.” This jest had tho sting of truth. Ned’s Yankee mother had died at hi 3 birth, and he had been held too close in the arms of Asia. His father, a fanatical American missionary, had been too concerned with the saving of heathen souls to remember ho had a son; so the lonely wistful little boy had wandered ever further into native life. Moving from one mission field to another, ho learned to jabber three basic Indo-Chinese languages before he could do more than stammer his mother tongue. Out of this ground-work — combined with a natural bent of mind—had come his present mastery of native speech and customs. "My son yearns for his own kind?” Koh-Ken asked gently. “It is a lonely life, Koh-Ken.” “Perhaps if you would take a wife of your own tribe—young, fair, and laughing—” “Why not the moon? What American girl would want a chameleor like me—one moment a white man and the next a Cham juggler or s Meow horse trader in a red sash? And how shall I court her? Oni day 1 am here, the next beyond tilt Mekong." "Then lot me show you n brown girl, comely, young. . . Only today the gardener spoke of his daughter —herel” Nod smiled and shook his head. “1 shall bring no half-castes Into the world. 1 know too well what it means to be a man without a country. Now, Koh-Ken, 1 am off to th« club. I shall sit there all day and bt a white man. 1 shall drink enougl gin slings to addle my head, am then lose a hundred ticals to thi vice-consul in a gems of chance ’ Suddenly he whipped to English “In other words, old scout, I’m goim on a good old-fashioned spree.” (To be continued.)
