CHAPTER XXIV “When did you take Virginia into yout confidence, from tho very beginning?” A kind of pleasant jealousy was in Griffin’s eyes; plainly he did not desire to have missed any excitement. “I didn’t take her into my confidence. She caught me napping. I must say, you’ve both made me feel like a fool.” “You needn’t. You’ve carried it off marvelously, even with your own people. But when you sang YankeeDoodle as we skipped the Kha village, I began to put two-and-two together.” "Did you tell Chambon?” “I told no one, and I don’t think the idea has ever crossed his mind. I want to talk to you about him —” Ned’s stunned brain came to life with a leap. “And about the diamond," he added. For Griffin was still holding the priceless thing as though it were a piece of stone in his hand. “Yes, the diamond too. You'll want to know how I came to have it. I’ve decided to trust you, T’Fan, for you’re the only man around here I feel I can trust, in this strange affair. By the way, isn’t your real name Holden?” “Ned Holden. And I must concede you’ve beaten me at my own game." “That wasn’t hard to figure out. I’ve been studying your face, and ,he Emerald Buddha finally conlected you up in my mind with Bangkok, and the young fellow we net there. Since LaGreze got you jjto our party, I suppose you are with the Siamese police.” “Not precisely, but I am an agent xf the king.” “I thought so, but couldn’t be sure intil tonight. When yon were ral>oed, I knew you couldn't he in Andr6’s confidence. To clear the sir—do you suspect me of having a hand in the theft of the Emerald Buddha?” “I haven’t suspected you for days, t thought you were being imposed jpon* I don’t think so any more.” Griffin laughed. “So you thought ;he wool was being pulled over the >ld man’s eyes? And it was—until "hambon found that planted wooden 3uddha, and I saw the new coin in ;he dust. One thing led to another, ind finally I took a look inside that Buddha. Do you know what I found?” i “Yes, I know what you found.” “I thought likely you’d taken a look, last night. You saw the jewel was gone; I’ve had it ever since the night of the Kha raid. It was in my pajama pocket all the time I was their prisoner; at first I thought that was what the little beggars were after. I know now it was deeper than that." “Much deeper,” Ned agreed. “The whole thing’s still too deep to see." “And that’s the very reason I took the diamond; I had to get a hold on the mysterious affair somehow. I knew the Buddha had been stolen through Chambon’s connivance, but I couldn’t carry it in my pocket, and I didn’t know who to trust it with, to return it. Knowing that the plot couldn’t go through with the sacred diamond missing, I took it as a pawn for the idol’s safety and laid low. i That’s the whole story.” “Great work, Griffin 1” Ned’s eyes began to shine. “Now we’ve got the ' idol and the diamond too, and the quicker we can deliver them into official hands, the better.” Griffin sighed with relief. “Tonight?” “Tonight. St. Pierre will post a guard over them, and send them back by plane to Bangkok tomorrow. Thank the good Lord 1” “Can’t you even take time to tell , me what it’s all about?” “I would if I knew, but I don’t—and that’s one reason I must remain ] T’Fan to you and your daughter ; If my identify becomes known to the i Laotians, not just my career goes i glimmering. My life wouldn’t be i wnrtli a Rn rmpse cheroot.” I

DECATI'R DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, Jt I.Y 17.1958.

Oregon adopted a eugenic© law ■ was because the families that conI tribute children lo the stale home ■ for feeble-minded are multiplying about twice as rapidly aa the rest of the population.

At once Ned wrote a code mes- > sago to the governor, ova led it up . as though it hat" come from head- - quarters, and Griffin despatched it i by the Annamsse police officer, Halr Lai. In the meantime Ned rejoiced to hear the tramp of soldiers in the corridor, watching the door of the ; store-room. In the delay, Ned summoned his courage and rapped on Virginia’s door. She too must know the surprising turn events had taken. “Yes?” “It is T’Fan. There is a matter to tell you concerning the journey. Can you speak to your aervant?” “You bet I” And Ned loved its Yankee ring. "Yes, T’Fan, I can give you a fnoment or two.” They found a shabby little reading room at the end of the lounge, with dusty ancient copies of the Parisian on the table and tattered naper-bound books on the shelves, but it was secure from spies and eavesdroppers, and it suited them as well as a moonlit bower in the gardens of a king. "Something’s up,” she gasped. He told her the story briefly. “And it means—we’ve won.” But in his exaltation, he had forgotten the steep hill yet to climb before he could come home, and recalled it orly when he saw her hand steal to her breast. “But what does it mean for Andr6?” Loyal heart 1 But he loved her for it all the more. “Nothing very serious. He's got a perfect defense. How did he know that the Emerald Buddha was concealed in the wooden image that we all found together in the ruined pagoda? The French government will hush the matter up, for political reasons if nothing else. Only a few men will ever suspect the truth.” “But what is the truth? Ned, why did A ndrd steal the Emerald Buddha?” “Virginia, I don't know.” Kindness conquered the passion in his face. “It wasn’t for gain, or any other ignoble motive. Why not believe the most reasonable theory and forget its difficulties? He’s an antiquary—an esthete—a zealot in his passion for Oriental art. For once he lost his sense of values.” Tears gleamed on the girl’s lashes. “Thank you, Ned , . . We’ll let it go at that.” But Ned Holden was a man, dominant, true to his fate, so when she turned to leave him, he towered in front of her and made her eyes captive to his. “It means this job is over and the end of our adventure,” he said. "In i.he ordinary course of events, you’ll go back to America, I to Bangkok. Again, shall we let it go at that?” Her eyes widened. “I suppose we’ll have to.” “Not if I have anything to say about it. I loved you almost the first minute I saw you sitting at the table, in the hotel in Bangkok. I'm going to keep on loving you—and never give you up.” Virginia drew a deep, sharp j breath, as though to answer him, j but she only gave a small happy \ sigh. “I’m glad you told me,” she said at last. “I’ll not forget. But Ned—we’ll have to wait and see.” “But don’t wait too long." He caught both her hands. “I'm starving for you. If it wasn’t for this paint on my face, I’d be trying my best to kiss you now.” He thought he saw a little quirk of a smile. “There’s paint on my face too, you know—just a different kind.... ; And you haven’t any on your lips—” , So he did not get to talk to her ; any more. And in a few fleet seconds she had gone. * • • Chambon and his Excellency were ] having coffee when Ned’s code letter ] arrived. St. Pierre glanced at it, j saw that it was urgent, and excus- ] ing himself, went to his office to decode it. There he learned that the sacred diamond had been found, and

■ the timo had come to uncover U>« i hidden Buddha and restore it, with ■ the jewel intact, to the Siamese gov- ; ernment. When he returned to Chambon, he ! was atill the perfect host, but he ■ was pale about the lips and his eyes i were singularly bright. “I regret, Vicomte, that a little i matter has come up that must be ati tended to at once,” he said with grave courtesy. “It concerns you and Mr. Griffin." Chambon smiled as though bis only thought was to put the governor at his ease. “I am glad that wo have had a chance to finish that delightful fruit Excellency, would you care to discuss it with me now?” “I would rather bring it before you and Mr. Griffin at the same time. If you will permit, we will both walk over to the bungalow. Then I am sure we can sbttle it very quickly." Chambon talked gaily during the brief walk, and soon they were facing Griffin in the lounge. Chambon turned to greet Virginia; Griffin saw his chance to get rid of the diamond at once, without calling St. Pierre aside and arousing any one’s suspicions: besides he took a pure Yankee delight in startling the dignified governor. So when they shook hands, Griffin slyly pushed it into his palm. St. Pierre’s eyes bulged a little, but he got the jewel out of sight in his waistcoat pocket before Chambon looked around. “P4re Griffin, his Excellency received a code message tonight which he says concerns you and me,” Chambon began easily. “Shall I go?” Virginia asked. “I would rather that you stay, Mademoiselle,” St. Pierre said. “Also, I would like to have your interpreter here—T’Fan, I think you call him.” Griffin pulled the bell cord and sent for Ned. He came, salaamed to the party, and waited in the background. “It appears that an article of great religious and political importance has disappeared from a temple in the south,” St. Pierre explained, his voice clear and low in the hushed room. “The authorities seem to feel that your party is involved. Under those conditions, I have no choice but to ask permission to look through' your baggage.” Chambon's little smile died away. “An unusual request, your Excellency!” “I am aware of that. I regret it deeply.” “If I may speak for our party, the request is refused.” "Monsieur le Vicomte?" “We are tourists, provided with proper passports, and entitled to the courtesies of the government. It would be an outrage for us to be subjected to the indignity of a search. May I ask whether you are acting on the explicit orders of your superiors?” “No, I am doing this on my own responsibility, because of information sent to me.” “Then I warn you to take care.” Chambon’s face was grave and white. “I regret mentioning such matters, but you are not proposing this indignity to ordinary chance travelers in your country. My employer is Daniel Griffin, an American of tremendous influence. I am the Vicomte Andre de Chambon, a close friend of the Minister of Colonies. If you desire to avoid a blunder fatal to your career, forsake this fantastic proposal at once.” St. Pierre was a small man, but he seemed to tower in the room. “I am sorry, Vicomte, but I must go ahead.” “Os course, Andre,” Griffin broke in. “We have nothing to hide. His Excellency has to do his duty, and let’s not make it any tougher for him than we can help.” Then, turning to St. Pierre: “Come on, Excellency. We’ll show you all our stuff.” (To be continued.)
