Back from search for an AnnaHolden plans a months' holiday. At a tea Kt;e he meets Virginia Griffin, American girl from St. Missouri, and tells her about Emerald Buddha with a diamond in its forehead. K-iel Griffin, noted Oriental art ■fetor, and his secretary and fiance, Andre Chambon, Ku the party. Holden learns that Emerald Buddha has been Kien from the temple. KevoluKtmay result if it cannot be re■tered before the Siamese winter ■nival six weeks hence. Loathe the search since Vir■u's father, as a collector, is suspicion, Holden finally KswEts to do so. Next day he ■itches his new friends’ hotel I ■mu. In Chambon’s room, he dis■oies a photograph of the secre■ry’i distinguished French father ■th a tiny speck of red directly Berthe heart. There is also a mys■rious letter from his Corsican ■other whom his father had evi■atly cast off. Just as Holden ■eels at Virginia’s trunk his serv■t taps a quick warning at the Biocr. I CHAPTER VI B Ey now Ned was stealing toward Btriflm’s room, but there was no Bunce to reach it. A key was turn- ■ in the lock outside; the door was ■pening. He had barely time to leap ■tin a deep, dark closet and take fc’jge in the shadows against the Bbier wall. ■ Treked and trapped like a tiger ■tapitl • ■ But no, it <vas Virginia back too ■•on. Ned could see her through the ■pen closet door. And now his hopes ■revived. She was humming a tune, ■filing about the room. Now she was ittutiniztng herself in the mirror—■ltd gave herself a smile. Probably Hite would powder her nose, change ■kr hat or her shoes, and go out. I Why had she left the party at ■Alston’s house ? Why hadn’t Ral■iton warned him ? But there was no ■telephone in the room, and if he had ■lent a messenger, the quick-moving ■American girl had reached the hotel Hirst I Now she was strolling to her ■dresser, just opposite Ned's hiding ■ place. She opened a drawer —thrust lin a careless hand.... But it seemed |tdifferent hand that shot out. It I’is hard and swift and steady, and I® it was a little black pistol. It ptreaked through the air as she I’birled to face him, and came to I rest leveled On his breast. I “Put up your hands or I’ll shoot." I rhe told him in one rush of breath.

At clear sight of his face, she “teng back. “Youl" “I wish it were some one else!” “And I thought—” She was white to more, but quite red, both face •nd throat Her pistol trembled in «r hand. "You thought I was a gentle"'ten,” he told her gravely, ‘‘and now you’ve discovered your mistake.” She nodded, biting her lip. “Have ?°u an explanation? It will have to « a very good one.” He shook his head. “Explanations would be superfluous—under the •freumstances." “In other words—you came here ""to steal?” The pistol lowered to “er side. “I'm afraid it would be worse wan useless for me to deny it.” “A professional hotel thief, I supJ° se - ... And that's— why you “•need with me yesterday.” “No. Only an amateur. And I la a no idea of this when I asked you ’dance. I hope you’ll believe that, *ause it’s true.”

“I prefer to believe it I'd even like to believe that you must be in desperate straits to descend to this. It’s not pleasant to think that a man I danced with is a common burglar.” “I am in desperate straits. It is kind of you to give me the benefit of the doubt.” “Yet you planned it pretty carefully. You must have known we were all going out. And you got a man for your lookout—l saw him come to the door." “You were too quick for him.” Ned Baid. “I don’t think you can be very experienced, to get caught so easily.

Do you know how I happened to leave the party?” “No.” “You’ve forgotten that I invited you to meet us at the tea dance. I—came back—to keep—that date.” He started to speak, making an imploring movement with his hands, but she set her teeth and pointed to the door. “And I never want to see your face again,” she told him as a part-

ing shot as the door closed softly behind him. Virginia was curled up in a big chair, reading, when her father and Andrfi Chambon returned from Ralston’s party. Griffin kissed her with awkward tenderness, then stamped noisily off to his own room. “I won’t be back for ten minutes, he called with customary tact “Blessed old dad," Virginia said, smiling after him. “I’ll never love any one in the world as much —even you-” l. i She expected Andrd to take her in his arms and convince her to the contrary, but he still stood stiffly before her chair. Her smile faded away Her eyes became questioning, then oddly bright. She was in no mood to be stared at. The painfu scene with her burglar still rankled in her mind. “Yes, Andre?" . But he did not take warning. 1 am aware that yourjove for me has much room to grow.” “In other words—you deserve more than you get. Is that it?” “Why did you leave the party" Do you think I do not know? Was it respect to me, your fianed? Only to dance again with a chance-met stranger, a schoolmaster so he says, perhaps a renegade from America. “He didn't say he was a schoolmaster," Virginia murmured th “So h you have met him again, just as I suspected. It is undignified. No French lady would do so. “nen you’d jolly well better marry a French lady, and be done with it.” Virginia began to slip off an antique diamond ring from the third fin£»tir of her left hand. Chambon flung out his ® r ™’- “Virginia, ma bienaimtel Do not touch the ring! I express myself so hadlv in English — “That’s all right.
