Stolen God’'? sSsJSS-

SYNOPSIS Ned Holden, returning to Bangkok, Siam, from a dangerous mission into the Annamite country, seems a typical American tourist. Son of a Yankee mother and an American missionary, Ned had been reared by native nurses and had spoken the native languages before his own. Officially an ethnologist, actually he is a secret service man for the King of Siam. Holden meets an American girl, Virginia Griffin, just arrived in Bangkok with her father, noted art collector, and Andri Chambon, a young French vicomte who is Griffin's secretary and Virginia's fiance. Soon thereafter Holden is told of the theft of the famous Emerald Buddha from the royal temple. It must be restored to its shrine before the Siamese winter festival. Griffin is under suspicion. . . . Holden, under protest, consents to investigate and, next day, searches the Griffin rooms at the hotel. Virginia returns unexpectedly and finds him there. He must allow the girl he already loves to believe him a common thief. Virginia lets him go and mentions the incident to no one. Next morning, the Griffin party leavest for the interior of French Indo-China. with the ancient city of Laos as their goal. On recommendation of the French governor a supposed Laotian headman named T’Fan has been hired as interpreter. The latter is Holden in disguise. That night an arrow is shot into the camp from the forest; a warning from the Kha tribesmen that the Griffin party should turn back. Next morning Holden watches the coolie Pu-Bow whom he has recognized as a Laotian baron in disguise. He also distrusts old Nokka who had been hired as maid for Virginia. Chambon tells Virginia of a wondrous bronze Jar he hopes to secure for her father’s collection. Angered by Chambon’s fanatical interest in oriental customs, Virginia repulses his advances. CHAPTER XI la two hours the caravan crossed the Laotian frontier. At once there was color and life and charm. The 1 villages nestled in lovely river valleys—quaint, stilt-built houses, a bedecked Chinese store, a mossgrown rice mill, and always a decorated pagoda with its stone Buddha to bless the little fields. True, those fields were besieged by jungle, waging guerilla warfare day and night. Often the sambur and the wild pig raided the scanty crops, and sometimes an old rogue elephant stripped the banana gardens and trampled down the trees. But the villagers laughed the days away without thought of tomorrow. Still they sang over the rice wine as. in the days of Chow See V.eet, told talew in the joss-house, made love in the sunlight, and gathered flowers as offerings to their unheeding gods. At one village the travelers found an open-air native market in full blast. It was the most colorful scene in Virginia’s experience—-yellow-robed priests with shaven heads; flute-players, jugglers, and devil-dancers; all but naked Khas lingering shyly at the outskirts of i the throng, as though ready to dart away to their jungle lairs; Meuw horse-traders from somewhere back of beyond, tall, slant-eyed men each in a blue robe adorned with a red sash, and coils of silver wire about his neck. On display in the stalls were all the luxuries of the country: stone jars of rice wine, boxes of opium, Burma cheroots; sticky sweets and rice cakes; screened boxes of big beetles, an especial delicacy to the Laotian palate; wild honey; newI killed jungle fowl and venison; a ' ruby-colored jelly which Virginia thought at first was congealed fruitjuice until she learned, with something of a shock, to the contrary, i There was jade from China, little gods in ivory, embroidered shawls and heavy silk sarongs, almost everything imaginable from flawed rubies out of Burma to alarmclocks from Connecticut. It was an old story to Ned, but ever new; and he could remember i few things more pleasant than I showing it all to Virginia. How her

eyes danced when he interpreted the ■ talk of the stalls, and how delighted • she was when he bandied jests that , made the crowd roar and the young . Laotian maidens hide their faces, i But Chambon was in his glory too, I talking French to the mandarins, I and waving his arms and laughing. > He bought several pieces of needlo- ' work, a copper lamp that had lighted a joss-house when the Caesars reigned in Rome, and a lit- . tie figure in jade with onyx eyes i and a face of incredible evil. A little while later Chambon hastily stopped the car. Through a rift in the trees his quick eye had

seen a ruined roof-tree. He led the way through stubborn vines to a forsaken pagoda, now all but devoured by the jungle. It was a large temple, and the stones at the door had been worn smooth by naked feet, but the only life in it now was the snaky creepers growing in the windows and rents in the walls, and winding and twining about its fallen columns. One battered wooden Buddha, four feet high and partially covered with ffotd leaf stood in the corner; among the rubbish Chambon found the broken arm of what was once a life-size Buddha in stone. Catching his excitement, Virginia looked in the broken crypt and soon found the head and shoulders of the same image, and tore off the jungle creepers that held the piece fast. “That was a good Buddha, once,” Chambon said. “And what an interesting cross-ribbed doublet, the like I have never seen. And that face is exquisite, with its wonderful sweet smile. There, Pere Griffin, is real Laotian religious art." But further search revealed only a hand and a few undecipherable fragments of the torso. “What would happen if we’d take that bust along?” Griffin asked. For he too was impressed by the Buddha’s enigmatic smile. “Nothing at all. You could have the crack around it repaired, make a base for it, and have something handsome. Look, Pere Griffin! If you take that, will you let me take the wooden Buddha in the corner?” “I don’t want it in my collection.” “But I want it in mine. The face is sinister, with a mocking expression rarely seen in a Buddha.” “Go ahead . . , And here’s a new silver coin in the dust. I’ll take this along, too.” A new silver coin! Ned made no comment, but his dark eyes lighted up.

They drove on, seeking more adventure —and it came to meet them in the road. As they swept around a bend, a new-fallen tree barred their way. The drivers pulled up; instantly four little men, naked except for loin cloths and armed with small bows and poisoned arrows, sprang up from the shadows of the jungle. They were Khas from the hills. At once their spokesman stepped forward aud salaamed. “I would speak to the great lords,” he said in the gobbling, deep-throat-ed Kha tongue. Chambon turned quickly to Ned.

“T’Fan, do you know that language?” Ned usually chose his course on the basis of logic and a fair share of good American horse-sense, but now he acted on sheer inspiration. “No, Tuan. lam a Laotian, not a Kha.” “Then call up Pu-Bow, that bearer I hired. If he speaks Kha, he can find out what the little beggars want and let us know in French.” » Pu-Bow came up from the bag-gage-lorry, salaamed to Chambon, and looked down at the black men in utter scorn. “What do ye want, ye forest pigs?” Ned heard him demand in the Kha tongue. “Nay, we be free men; the French have declared us so. We have come down from our villages to meet He-Who-Has-Come, and speak a warning.” “Take warning yourselves, that ye dare obstruct his road.” The little man quivered, but went on gamely. “We tell him to go back, now, before too late. What is gone, is gone. The French have brought a word greater than the word written on the stone. The iron rings are melted in the fire. We be small men, tilling the rocky hillsides where even the wild gourd cannot find root, but there is venom on our arrows and the will of our gods in our bow arms. If he comes, his own head will fall.” Ned's heart leaped up, but PuBow only spat in the dust “Ye are not forest pigs, full of cunning, but foolish monkeys, chattering in the jungle,” he scorned. “He-Who-Has-Come is under the protection of the French, and if ye touch one hair of his head, your village will be wiped clean from its hillside!" And he beckoned up the drivers to drag the obstructing tree aside. (To be continued.) Cop.rrifht by Ediion MtrihalL Distributed by Kins Featurw Syndicate, In*.

I sion" but is a grant of money made ] to an aged person if he meets all of the eligibility requirements tor , this type of aid. In no case is it given if the person applying has sufficient income from any other I source to maintain himself. Regarding need, the law states, "assistance shall be given under , the provisions of this act to auy l aged person who . . . has not suffl--1 cient income or other resource to provide a reasonable subsistence I compatible with decency and I health.” In arriving at any amount of assistance to which an aged per- , son is entitled, the county department gives careful consideration ■ to his actual expenses, balanced against any resources he may have ' and the extent to which his relatives can contribute toward his support. An award for aged assistance is not sufficient to meet the needs of any one else in the household, and it is not intended to do so. In estimate the needs of an aged person, payment of back debts is ] not considered nor can aged assistance be attached for payment of such idebtedness. o COURT HOOSE Marriage Licenses Homer Kelley, Findlay, Ohio factory employe to Ethel Gray, Geneva.
