CHAPTER XIII The storm had passed. Pu-Bow helped Chambon to his feet All that remained was to take account of the damage done. Ned blamed no one but himself. A few slaps would not have hurt his old cook. Koh-Ken, and in a burst of rage he had spoiled everything. He did not even blame Nokka for her murderous attack. She had seen her son, a proud Laotian baron, struck down by a mere village chieftain, T’Fan. Chambon’s savage defense of his accomplice was still unfathomable—when Ned had solved that mystery he would know a great deal more than he knew now—but it offered no excuse for his own outbreak. What was a welt across the face compared to the safe return of the Emerald Buddha? He had risked discovery, betrayed his trust, and earned discharge from the expedition. At once he faced Chambon and touched his hands to his forehead. “Lord, I forgot my place. It was not your servant T’Fan who raised his hand against his master, but a devil of anger wakened in his heart by the sting of the strap.” ‘ It was partly my fault,” Chamber. answered with great dignity. “I i.ad no right to whip a Laotian gentleman. But naturally you cannot stay in the outfit. You will have to go back to Vinh.” "But why, lord? There can be no feud between a French master and his native servant. Only I, T’Fan, have lost face that I so forgot my place. It is for the great to show mercy.” Griffin stepped up and touched Chambon on the arm. "Let it go for the present, Andrd . . . T’Fan, the Vicomte and I will talk it over, and see what’s to be done.” As when a rain squall lashes down in the jungle and sweeps on, all was peaceful on the scene. The bearers went cheerfully on with their camp work. Koh-Ken mixed the curry and broiled the chickens bought from a near-by village. The drivers mended tires, tested wires. Ned, once more the perfect headman, gave orders in short, pointed Laotian words, leavened by an occasional coarse jest or native proverb to make the work go smoothly and swiftly. Griffin and Chambon withdrew to the rest-house. Virginia joined them there, her face quite pale, her eyes intensely bright. But she declined the chair that Chambon offered, and sat in the shadows in the corner of the room. “I’m sorry, but I feel that T’Fan should go,” Chambon said quietly, his handsome face so cairn and dignified in the lamplight. "I bear him no ill will—the Laotians are just as good as Frenchmen and he was in his rights—but it sets a precedent that might mean danger for us all.” “I’d say there’s more danger without him, than with him,” Griffin answered. “Anyway, I can’t feel the same toward him. I’ll be uncomfortable working with him.” “Andre, I wouldn’t admit it. You're a French vicomte, you know. And who can we get to take his place?” “Pu-Bow can manage the camp, and translate the native tongues into French.” “You know my French—l can say bon-jour and order eggs.” Griffin sighed audibly. “Well, I guess you can tell me all I need to know.” Virginia’s voice flowed in a cold little stream from the corner of the room. "You remember, father, that it was Pu-Bow who started the whole thing, by striking old KohKen.” “That was nothing," Chambon said. “Natives are always slapping each other about, so the Colonials tell me. T’Fan had no business to interfere.” • Griffin got out his pipe, filled it slowly, and lighted it wi<b steady fingers. “You know—that remark puzzles me quite a bit.”

"Why, Pire Griffin?” “1 think he did have businessplenty of it—but that’s not the meat of the cocoanut If you think that way, in the name of Sam Hill what kind of business did you have interfering between T’Fan and Pu-Bow, and getting knocked down for your trouble?" Chambon sat very still. There was not a flicker of expression on his face or even a change in color. “Pere Griftn, I do not know.” “Pu-Bow is nothing to you. He couldn’t be. And you saw him get what was coming to him for mauling the cook.” “It is all true. I like Pu-Bow—-for some reason I don't understand.

'AyI BQfrv ' » ?11 W . // -Ji MiW “This belongs to you, Andre,” said Virginia, alipping the ring a into his hand. „

I dislike and distrust T’Fan. I simply lost my head.” Griffin nodded. “Thanks, Andrfe. It worried me a little at the time. Now we’ve got to settle this thing. What do you say, Virginia?” “Keep him, of course. Anything else would be absolutely unfair.” “Understand, Andri," Griffin said, with a deep ring in his voice, “if I send T’Fan back it won’t be as punishment for knocking you down. He has acted like a man and shall bo treated so, and have his three weeks’ pay. If he goes back, it will be only for your peace of mind. Are you sure you want him to go?” Chambon met his eyes steadily, “Yes, Pere Griffin, I am sure.” "Well, if you want to know what I think— ’’ Virginia broke in. “We don’t,” her father cut it off. “You’re a little spit-fire, Virginia, but you must learn to swaller it I’ll tell T’Fan in the morning he has to go.” Griffin turned to Chambon with a twinkle in his eye. “But Andre, you’ll have to admit that the sock he gave you on the chin was a lolla-palooza.” Andre answered the sally with a smile. To all appearances the incident was closed. He did not notice Virginia’s compressed lips, or the red flags of danger in her pale cheeks. Only when he started to follow Griffin out the door, did he discover that she had not “swallered it” after 1 11. Very quietly she stepped in front of him. “This belongs to you, Andrfi.” And she slipped something into his hand. It was the ring he had given her. “What does this mean, Virginia?” It means our engagement is

broken—for the present at least.” “But why—" “Because you've changed. You’re not the man I fell in love with, and I’m not sure you ever will be again. That man—would never have struck —with a strap—a servant who had, risked his life to save mine.” “But Virginia—l lost my temper— * “You weren’t sorry enough to keep him from being discharged. And I’d rather not discuss it —until later.” Although Ned did not yet know the outcome of the talk, his gloomy forebodings did not dull his thoughts nor slow his hands. After dinner he ordered an all-

night fire before the rest-house and divided the watch with the only servant in the outfit he could trust, old Koh-Ken. He had this much respect for the signal arrow from the jungle, the threats of the little naked men they had met on the road, and for the far-off throb of drums in the hills. The travelers soon went to their netted beds. The servants each lay in his blanket. Soon the only thing left alive was he and the fire and the purple-tinted moon soaring through tattered clouds. He watched, listened, wondered. His thoughts journeyed back down the centuries, saw palaces rise up where now the bamboos clustered, watched the pageants of kings wind out through the fallen gates of now-for-gotten cities, heard the trumpets Os armies going to war. Far off, dim drums beat on the hills—and they were beating still. Just before midnight the jungle stretched and wakened. A little breeze meandered down from Tibet, stirred the low-hanging white mists, and rustled intermittently in the thorn thickets. A leopard coughed—--1 sound like a dull saw hacking at a board—somewhere down the road. A molecule of sound in an ocean of silence was the trumpet of a wild elephant beyond the Song-Koi river. A sambur stag burst out of the woods, his hooves drumming the dry road, checked at sight of the fire, showed his twin blue lamps of eyes, and bounded away. He had been frightened at something, probably the leopard. (To be continued.) Corrrlfht Edison M&rshatl. 1 DHUlbuted Kiof FMtures Bjrndlcat*. Ina.
