SYNOPSIS Ned Holden, son of a Yankee mother and an American missionary, looks the typical American tourist on his first trip to the Orient. Yet he had been brought up in Asia. Officially an ethnologist, he is actually a secret service man who helps "maintain the white man's peace” over a million square miles of savage country. Back from a dangerous expedition, Holden now plans a long holiday in Bangkok, Siam, among the Americans there He meets Virginia Griffin, from St. Louis. Missouri; Daniel Griffin, noted Oriental art collector: his secretary and Virginia's fiance, Andri Chambon. Immediately attracted to Virginia, Holden is planning a sight-seeing jaunt with her when he learns of the theft of the famous Emerald Buddha. Revolution may result if the Buddha cannot be restored to its shrine before the Siamese winter festival six weeks hence Holden, loathe to undertake the search since Virginia's father as a collector is under suspicion, finally consents to do so. Next day, he searches the hotel rooms of his new friends. Virginia returns unexpectedly and finds him there. Unable to give the true explanation of his presence, Holden allows the girl he already loves to believe him a common hotel thief. An hour later, Chambon angrily accuses Virginia jf secretly meeting Holden. Surprised at her own strange reactions, Virginia says nothing of the recent encounter, but charges j the fiery young Frenchman with being too dictatorial toward her. CHAPTER /II “In the last two weeks—ever since we’ve landed in the Orient — I’ve noticed a change in your manner,” Virginia went on quietly. “It’s been especially noticeable the last two days. You’ve been jealoushaughty—and too darned bossy. Something's gone to your head — what is it?’’ “ M ’mi“You act as though you are ‘a king in Babylon, and I'm your Christian slave.’ Well, you’re not—and I’m not. I shall dance with all the chance-met strangers I want to. > If you stay the nice, shy, boyish Frenchman I fell in love with, I may agree to keep your ring. If not—” “Sweetheart!” He ran to her, knelt beside her, and took her in his arms. “It is only love for you, that has made me act the fool. I want every kiss,every touch of your hand. Out. ’ am jealous even of your father —and . cannot help it I do sot dare believe it is true that you have given me your ’ove, so I have carried—what you say?—a small piece of wood on my shoulder. Forgive me and love me, Virginia I Always.” She smileo and kissea him. That’s more like it, Andri.” lr. wonderful spirits, his eyes and fingers snapping, Chambon called Griffin into the room “The lovers’ quarrel, it is over I was wrong and have beggeo forgiveness, and it shall never happen again And now, Here Griffin I will tell you some good news tc make you smile." Griffin was smiling already. He was fono of this gay young Frenchman “Tomorrow we start by motor car foi Vinh on the road to Laos—it is all arranged—but not just to see the most beautiful, most exciting country in the world.” Chambon went on. "You shall also have many wonderful souvenirs of your trip, treasures to add to your collection. Kings will tome to seel” Griffin beamed on him. "Have you something extra special tn mind?” “Have I not! But 1 will not say , «vhat it is, yet. Then if we get it, it i will be such magnificent surprise; 1 if we fail, you will be saved some of I the disappointment. But pere ami—we shall not fail!” • • • The city of Vinh lies in the deepeut side of French Indo-China, looking out on the vast blue spaces of the Gulf of Tonkin. It is the capital of a province one fifth as large as ail France- -and it is the gateway to the vast mystery of Laos, lying | dreaming of its lost glories behind ;he Pu-Long mountains.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, .JUNE 21, 1938.

A few French officials and adventurers pass outward through . that gate, and sometimes big bronzed fellows in gay garb pass in, linger a few days to see the wonders of the city, and then return to their fastnesses in the Laotian hills. So a tall stranger, brown as wild honey and clad in Laotian dress, attracted no special attention from the hurrying crowds on the street. A stray Frenchman smiled at his colorful turn-out The Annamites looked up to his high-held head and dark eyes straight as a white man's, and remembered their ancient envy

i I I iliS "T-Fan, haven’t I seen you some place before?” asked Virginia.

of their mountain neighbors—for they themselves were little men, yellow, with slanted eyes. A flowerfaced Annamite girl in embroidered pantaloons gave him a shy smile —for she had heard that Laotian chiefs were bold and passionate lovers, who stole their sweethearts and carried them off on belled ponies to their villages in the jungle. This young giant seemed to belong to one of the more savage tribes of Laos. His head was shaved back far enough to show the full curve of his forehead; from thence his black hair, partially covered by a red silk headcloth, grew long and formed a glossy cowl about his face. He wore large silver earrings; Iris sarong was of rich pattern and indicated noble lineage. A close-cut mustache arched his upper lip in a style that suggested Yunnan; and his white teeth bore no stain of betel nut. He made his way to Gc-ves imenthouse; a servant showed him to the native waiting-room. Plainly he was no ordinary Laotian coolie, for the French governor, Monsieur LaGreze, ordered that he be admitted through a side door to his private office, just back of the reception hall. “The Americans and the vicomte have come to present their credentials for the trip into Laos." his Excellency told him in the Laotian tongue. “At your request and another’s, I have recommended you to them as an interpreter and guide. Naturally they want to look at you before they decide. Y'ou may come in and meet them now.” The brown man bowed low. “Thanks, your Excellency—protector of the poor!” LaGreze led the way into the reception room where the Griffins and and Chambon were waiting. “Messieurs and Mademoiselle—-this is T’Fan, the Laotian gentleman 1 have suggested for your interpreter. He is mission-schooled and speaks both English and French. T’Fan put his hands to his forehead and salaamed deeply first to

Griffin then to Chambon. last of all —by the law of the East--to Virginia. “Glad to know you,” Griffin said heartily, extending his hand. Rather shyly T’Fan put forth his I own hand. “For this the sun will | shine brightly on T’Fan for many ] days." Chambon pushed forward with a | glimmer in his eyes. “What part of Laos do you come from, T’Fan?" “From the little river Kan by Peacock Mountain, wherwit sows to the great Mekong. Has the vicomte honon 1 our land by passing there?" “I have never seen Chow-Mo-

Nam, the Lord of Waters." “Yet you know the name by which we, ourselves, have known the great river since our Lord Buddha lay under the 80-Tree. That is honor enough.” “By the way, how did you happen to know that native word?” Griffin asked his secretary. “You're an amazing young feller— ’’ “Read it in a French travel book, and it took my fancy,” Chambon answered with a smile. In the meantime, Virginia was gazing at the brown man with a troubled line between her brows. I “T’Fan,” she broke out at last, “haven’t I seen you some place before?” “Long ago, perhaps, HeavenBorn. Our Shining One teaches that men and women live and die many times before they obtain peace. After each life a curtain is drawn, but sometimes a little light steals through. Perhaps in some other existence we sat by the now-broken fountains of Chieng-Khuang, drinking rice wine from the same bowl.” Virginia did not appear offended by his boldness. There was a twitch at her lips and a sparkle in her blue eyes. This tall bronzed pagan wished to be their interpreter and guide, but he was obviously a gentleman, as LaGreze had said. An American dyed • in ■ the ■ wool, she wanted no fawning, and was secretly delighted that he could answer her so straight and so well. And her father chuckled. “T’Fan, you get the job," he said dryly. “Now compliments sre over, , let's get to business The governor has offered to advise you as to our outfit for the trip into Laos, and you must have it ready to start right after lunch.” “Step into the next room and wait. T’Fan," La Greze directed. "I'll bring you the lists in a moment.” (To be continued.) CepyrtfM •> Ediwo Marttatt. 1 (M«trlbut»d Kint FMfifM Syndicate. Ire

German Denial Berlin, June 21— (U.R) An official spokesman of the German government denied todiiy that German officers had anything to do with the American espionage case in which 18 persons were indicted by a New York grand jury. The statement was the first official comment here on the case. 'lt said: "In connection with a spy case the United States and foreign press has named several German officers. members of the war ministry, who supposedly prepared a plot for obtaining military secrets together with others who were arrested in the United States. , . “Well informed quarters sfif : that it is out of the question that any officer in the German armed ' forces can be connected with espionage ’plots in the United States." The newspapers made no mention of the case. It was impossible to discover the whereabouts of the officers uaiued in the indictment. o GREAT BRITAIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and the high seas. The government does not admit the right to Franco or anyone else to attack ships in territorial waters but what it says its that it doeq not see any practical means of preventing it without adopting a policy at variance with the true interest of the country.” He said it was doubtful that halting trade with Nationalist Spain aouM halt the bombing of British ships. He said there was not suffident money of Nationalist Spain in Great Britain to impound. ‘llf the Labor party was in power it would not be so light-hearted in advocating courses which might involve 'us in a general Eurpoean war.” he said.
