CHAPTER XXVII

Ned Yne« that he alone must save Koh-Ken. It was always so with the great works of his life; the gods carrying souls from world to world,-from cradles to death beds at the appointed time and place, had dropped his along the way. There was no path that led home, no hand to clasp his. If Griffin were here, he would stand by him to the finish, but he was undressed and asleep by now, and Ned dared not wait to summon him. The little catfooted Annamese, Pai-Lai, was not in reach, and the French soldiers could not leave their posts. A light still burned in Virginia’s window, but this was man’s work tonight, and besides, she eould not wield Ned’s sword and at the same time hold Chambon’s shield. So off and away . . . down the alley . . . into the cross street . . . But not too fast —no, he dared not go too fast. He must reach Koh-Ken with undiminished strength. And with his wits about him I He must make his head stay cool. There would be a guard at the gate. He must speak to him civilly, his hands at his side, and offer a plausible excuse ... “Friend, my master has sent me to bring Tuan Chambon . . .” "How did you know he was here?” “I had it on the word of a passerby.” And while he played for time, Koh-Ken could escape. Then Ned would get word to Griffin to back up the ruse . . . It was the best plan he could lay, on the spur of the moment, but gradually he came aware that Fate had planned otherwise. There was no such tranquil ending for this night’s strange events. Not far from the white gate a street light glimmered, only a lantern hung on a pole casting a dim yellow circle on the road. For some inexplicable reason, Ned stared at it in slowly-gathering dread. There was something sickening about that little pale hole in the night. It was as though it were a stage set by the dark powers.. .. Perhaps it was only a trick of his tormented imagination. A white man like him must not believe in premonition. But even as he convinced himself, the thing came true. There was a shout in the blackness beyond, and then a thud. So cruelly clear was his inner eye that he knew instantly the story behind those sounds: Koh-Ken leaping the wall and his dry old bones striking the ground. But now he was up, running toward the light. Ned knew it by the nearing sound of hrs footfall, frantic fast on the hard ground, and the swelling clamor of his cries. Ned called on all his inner reserves and sprinted to meet him. He too was shouting, partly to encourage the runner, partly to frighten his pursuers. But Koh-Ken was already running his pitiful best; and his pursuers plunged on all the faster.

And now Ned knew the end of that tragic race. Nor was it the weird light of premonition that revealed it, only the sickly glimmer of the lantern on the road. Into the further rim of that yellow ring, Koh-Ken’s form took shape. Ned seemed to see it even before there was light enough to see. Koh-Ken tried to plunge on a few paces more. But he knew— he knew —Ned could hear it in his cries. Just behind him, into the yellow circle, burst the foremost of his pursuers, and a second was taking shape where the light and darkness met. But even now—and Ned’s heart biased up in fierce pride—he did not beg for mercy. “Turn and fight, Koh-Ken,” Ned yelled. Not that he had any hope or dream that the cruel knives could be beaten back in time. Ned’s seasoning mind had nothing to do with

‘that proud, savage cry; it sprang i straight from h’s heart. At the same > instant his pistol leaped out bark- ‘ ing. i But Koh-Ken did not need that t war-cry. He heard the hunter’s feet I close behind him, knew thst escape . was impossible, and remembered I that he was Koh-Ken, Number One boy to a Tian. He would not end I his honored days with his back to i the foe. There was face to save yet. While Ned’s pistol shots, still out of range, whistled futilely through the air, Koh-Ken whirled to fight. He seemed to Ned like an old bear, brought to bay at last The scene was branded forever on Ned’s memory. The end came in a weird silence, dropping heavy and deep between one report and another of Ned’s pistol. A silence that seemed to set off and sharpen the grisly pantomime under the dim light, some mysterious blending of sense to sense like the quickening of the ears of the blind. Neither KohKen or his enemies made the slightest sound. The first of the two pursuers plunged forward with an upraised knife. There was hardly light enough to flash the blade, yet Ned saw it pass under Koh-Ken’s upraised arm to plunge deep in his breast. At the same time he identified the killer beyond any shadow of doubt. It was Pu-Bow. The second pursuer had halted at the edge of the lighted ring, a mere dim shape in the shadows, but he, too, was betrayed by the mocking, evil glimmer of the lantern. He would not go free in the casting-up of the score. A V-shaped patch of white showed at his breast. All this Ned saw as he ran. And now the killers were running too, swallowed up by darkness, leaving a huddled form under the lantern. In a moment more Ned was crouched in the road, holding Koh-Ken’s shuddering breast against his own. “Did Chambon order this work?” Ned asked very quietly. He must make sure on this point. “Nay, lord, but he did not snatch away the knife.” “Full payment will be made. But what is behind it, Koh-Ken? Tell me, to strengthen fny hand." “I had spied on them and heard their plans. His mother found me out and ordered my lips be closed. Tuan spoke for my life, but yielded at last.” “Y«U mean old Nokka, Pu-Bow’s mother? Try hard to toll me, old man.” For the rattle was beginning to rise in Koh-Ken’s throat. “She is the dau—” And in the middle of the word, Koh-Ken died. Ned closed the pitifully staring eyes, and laid down the body on the road. It was only a moment later that the echo of his pistol shots in the silent streets brought a native policeman. The officer seemed a little excited at first—gunfire was a novel thing in the lost city of Chieng-khuang—-but he calmed down when he flashed his light in the dead man’s face. It was only a knife case after all, and the victim a Siamese. Perhaps it need not be brought to the governor’s attention. “But he was the cook of Tuans, guests at the bungalow,” Ned explained, with a dry rasp in his voice. “Wah! Then there will be trouble. Tuans prize their servants like the sons of kings.” At once he remembered his official "face.” “And who , are you, with your sarong stained with blood?” “I am T’Fan, headman of Tuan’s outfit. It was my shots you heard, trying to scare off the murderers.” • “I see you are a chief.” The po- ] liceman now spoke softly. “Could ; it be ye two were friends?" , Ned locked his jaws and listened to his own heart. He was now ominously cool, his head grimly clear.

>,Thls was his own war. He had no intention of sharing it with native . police officers. Anyway, his hands were not yet free! • No, not free even now. No use to argue, eurse, or plead. Koh-Ken lay i dead at his feet. His blood was on i Ned’s own breast. But fate, moving i through his own steadfastness, still I bound him to the quest of the Emi erald Buddha. Ned had been raised In the Orient. : In the back of his mind lingered the i echoes of strange things told him long ago. Koh-Kea was dead—but J death was only a curtain in a long corridor, and sometimes the wind blew it aside. Koh-Ken’s lips were i closed, but as Ned stared at them I with his sunken eyes, he could imagine that he heard them whisper- , ing. “/ will wait, my son, in patience, i till the appointed task is done." Yes, old Koh-Ken would wait.. . Often his master had come home at dawn, to find him sitting up with last night’s dinner kept warm and ready. ... Ned nodded to some one in the darkness the native could not see, and the drama swept on. “I, a friend to a Siamese dishwasher?” he answered the officer. “But he was my master’s servant, and when he did not come to his bed, I went to seek him. I would not have my lord lose face, so I tried to scare away the footpads with my pistol.” “So they were only street bandits? Did you see them under the lamp?” Ned drew a quick, deep breath. “Only at a distance. I would not know them again.” “Then there will be no trouble for you. Go now and report to the sergeant at our barracks, telling him how quickly I came at the sound of the shots. I will remain with the dead.” Ned obeyed, and soon was allowed to return to the bungalow. At once foe wakened Griffin and told him the story in a few brief, blunt words. “Good God, what next?” Griffin cried, his face gray gs the plaster on the wall. “But it couldn’t have been Andre you saw at the edge of the light. No matter what else he has done, he would never countenance murder.” “It wouldn’t be murder, in his eyes. Only a necessary sacrifice to what he considers a great cause.” “But you didn’t identify him. You had only a glimpse of white that looked like an evening shirt. There are three or four French officers here that might be wearing evening clothes tonight.” “Face the truth, Griffin. I saw him leave—the unknown spy saw him go in that house—Koh-Ken spoke his name with his last breath. He wanted to save the old man, but he let the crime go on, and he’ll have to pay his share.” “He’ll say he was asleep the whole time, and you can’t deny it. Now I’ll go with you to see the governor.” Griffin dressed rapidly, and they stole through the corridor. But Ned stopped him at the door of Chambon’s room. “I want to know if he's come back,” Ned whispered. “He keeps his door unlocked—open it apd look in. If he hears you, tell him KohKen’s been killed and you are rushing to the Residence, but don't stay to talk.” Griffin nodded, and opened the door. He gazed a few seconds—tiptoed a little way into the room—then stole back and rejoined Ned. “He’s in there, asleep.” “Playing ’possum, you mean.” “If so, it’s the best acting I ever saw. His blind is up, and the street lamp pours through on his face. He’s lying there dead white, like a man in a trance.” (To be continued.)
