CHAPTER XXIX So on with the hunt! Niti’s nest move would be to explore the Cave of the Million Buddhas. To give him a clear field, Griffin and Virginia took Chambon out of town on a sight-seeing trip, with Pu-Bow for interpreter and old Nokka to eook supper in the woods. "You had a grueling experience last night, T’Fan,” Griffin said adroitly, "so you can stay at the bungalow and rest.” But as soon as his antagonists were out of sight, Ned rost» from his weary bed. Ho had lost Virginia, but this would be no excuse to king or conscience for losing the Emerald Buddha. The bitterness of his soul gave a new ferocity to his hunting, a calloused recklessness of danger. In one of the government trucks, driven by a trusted Annamese, he started by a roundabout road for the Cave of the Million Buddhas. Leaving the car and its driver waiting in the woods, he stole into the cave, creeping close to the wall and careful not to loom in silhouette against the starlike opening. Although it was supposed to be empty of life save for the bats on the ceiling and the snakes in the rocks, he remembered a gleaming light in a lost passage, and it seemed to him that anything in heaven and earth might be living and peering out from the unplumbed deeps beyond. Again the dark was peopled with the dead. Again he felt some malign enchantment abiding here, the lingering curse of evil things practiced long ago. He could see it with blind eyes, smell it in the dank air. And now the passage turned and the star behind him winked out. In utter b’.ickness —the absolute zero of light—he crept on. Groping along the-, wall, once his hand plunged into a cranny and clutched some little hard thing that seemed to cling to his fingers. He knew what it was—a headless Buddha begging to be made whole—and he threw it from him with a gasp. It rattled on the floor, and little echoes of the sound ran over the wails and across the ceiling, finally dying away in a whimper of unspeakable grief. And now a new impression began to knock softly on the outer door of Ned’s consciousness. It stopped when he listened hard, only to renew its feeble entreaties as soon as his thoughts wheeled on. It was like a black spot seen out of the corner of the eyes, but evading a straight gaze. At first he tried to ignore it. It might be only another ghost, wistful to be heard, plucking at the curtain shutting off the corridor of death. But slowly the conviction grew that it was a more substantial companion. It had feet that sometimes made a leathery noise against the stones. Unless he was the victim of his own haunted imagination, there was some one in this cave besides him, besides the bats on the walls and the snakes in the rocks, besides the headless Buddhas and the ghosts of evil things. Sometimes it seemed behind him, sometimes in front, once he heard it drawing along with a faint dry noise over his head. Halting in an alcove, holding his breath and straining every sense, he thought that it came down the opposite wall and crouched there waiting for him to go on. Very softly Ned changed his pistol to his right hand and got his flashlight ready in his left. Still he did not press the button. His trained mind, grappling with terror, still made him stop and count costs. That soft-footed thing in the darkness might be a leopard. But if it were a man—and of all things that walked and whispered in this haunted cavern, only flesh-and-blood could really harm him—that man I was blind too. In the darkness they were fairly matched. But if Ned

turned on his light, It would draw his enemy’s fire before he could 1 "p'y- . , .. . Ned stole on a few more steps. At this point the wall curved in front , of him and blocked his way. His groping hands told him he had come i to the narrow pass that St. Pierre had called the tunnel, explored on , Ned’s previous visit to the cave, i If he got through first—alive — then hr could be the one to lie in wait, the hunter rather than the i hunted! But it was no easy thing to stoop down and grope his way through the , low pass. If there were knives waiti ing at the end of the tunnel, now 1 was their chance. The cold sweat , was out and running before he again found room to stand erect. Pressing against the wall, he gripped his pistol and waited. If the creeper in the darkness still wished his company, let him come now! Ned would hear him breathe, in the trumpet-like tunnel, and know , exactly where his head would emerge.. .. One blow of the pistol , barrel would be enough. But though he waited nearly half an hour, there was not a footstep or a breath. Whoever the eerie loiterer might be, he was near enough human to fear an ambush. That Ned had gone where his escort dared not follow gave him new courage . . . Quite possibly it was only some wild thing that laii-ed in the cave. Ned pushed on. Soon his groping hands found the rude ladder of stone he had climbed cn his previous visit. He listened a moment, then with growing courage swept the beam of his flashlight along the walls. But he was careful not to cast even a glimmer into the branchpassage opening above his head. He was alone. His e/es told him so, and all his instincts, too. With a strange deliberate defiance, like one who has nothing to lose, he turned out his light and climbed silently up the wall and into the opening. Again he listened and watched. There was no flicking glimmer such as he had seen before, not a whisper , of sound, yet he could hardly breathe from sheer excitement. Again he . divined that in this lost passage lay the secret of the mystery of the ! stolen Buddha—and at any moment < now it might be disclosed. For a quarter of an hour he remained absolutely motionless. This was his compromise with folly—if there were living beings in the passage, he could reasonably expect them to betray their presence by i now. Such hazard* as remained were mere table-stakes to the des- ' perate game. He could not restore i the Emerald Buddha and still play ! safe. I Turning on his light, he began to explore the passage. Beyond the glittering chamber he < had glimpsed before ran a long, i stately corridor. He had not gone : far before he realized that this had ! been a sacred place to the Laotian Buddhists; the inner mystery of the , whole mysterious cavern. No doubt the highest and most secret religious rites had been practiced here. The walls were decorated with, re- ! ligious symbols, many of them animistic, antedating even the most primitive Buddhism. There was the Seven-Headed Serpent of the Siva < cults, the Peacock, the Dragon, and startling figures representing the creative principle in man and : woman. Where the passage wid- i ened, stood two long lines of stone images, still unbroken—one row rep- : resenting devils, with grotesque twisted faces, the other row be- i nignly smiling gods. 1 Again the passage narrowed. 1 Great wings of rock hung down at I intervals from the ceiling, and here I he noticed a number of black holes, 1 regularly spaced and about the 1 width of his hand, that appeared to 1 have been recently drilled. And just where these rock formations almost

they themwlves were havlnr iuti<» below decks. ( - — Auto Crash All in Family • Lincoln, Neb. (U.R)—Cruiser car 11 ofllcers Investigating an autouiof bile collision here found It was > I strictly a family affair- The cun*

blocked the corridor, his light picked up something that made his eyes bulge in their sockets with disbelief. ■ He had thought he was prepared for anything, even the plain sight of the Emerald Buddha, but nl» imagination had fallen short of the truth. In this haunted passage, somehow the very core of al the mystery of the East, where longdead kings had walked and the longgone centuries turned back and cast a spell, this discovery was as incongruous as the sudden changes and scene-shiftings of a fantastic dream. Sitting against the wall was a plain wooden box, elean and new, and on it was printed in fresh ink the name of a film of powder-mak-ers in Delaware. The box contained several sticks of dynam'ie. . Ned stared — gasped — felt his brain go dead like something that | leaps against a stone wall and falls | back stunned. Then he continued on down the passage. ; Now he was nearing the end of i the corridor. His light showed tbe , distant gray of solid stone blocking j his way. Unless there was another branch passage yet to be explored, his quest had failed. But suddenly his sinking heart leaped up again. A big flat stone , leaned against the wall, and on it something was written. All through his adventure he had heard of “writings on the stone.’ The expression had run innumerable changes In his ears ever since he had left Vinh—Chambon, Pu-Bow, even ! the Khas had used it—and all the time it had been clamoring, unheeded, for his attention. He divined at once that he had made the greatest discovery on the trip so far, | quite possibly the key that would unlock the mystery of the theft of the Emerald Buddha. The writing, boldly carved, was in Pali, the sacred language of Indo- i China. Ned had never learned to read it, but there were numerous French savants in the territory who could translate it for him. In his pocket he had a fake identification card such as the French issue to natives, and a stub of a pencil: quickly i he copied the writing, character for character, sign for sign. It was rich reward for dangers i run, but more was to come. In the side wall, at the end of the corridor, | there was a black hole. Flashing in his Light/ he saw a steep flight of stone steps carved out of solid rock and leading down to what appeared to be a crypt or recess fifty feet be- < low. The walls of the shaft were | dotted with more black holes that looketj fresh, but the stone steps had been worn smooth by millions of naked feet now stilled. But though he made the treacherous descent, he found nothing but a square cell cut in the stone, empty save for a stone bench and a bronze begging-bowl. It seemed likely that some Buddhist saint had lived and ’ died here, shut from the world centuries before. There was nothing more to see, and now at last he must face the haunted journey to the open air. One wave of panic swept over him, then he set his jaw, climbed the ' stairs, and started back down the corridor. It seemed longer than before The row of devils leered at him in turn as his roving light picked up their evil faces. But now he had arrived where the branch passage opened into the main corridor of the cave. It was silent below him, not a stir among the million headless Buddhas heaped in the crannies, and black as the cellar of hell. But he dared not leap down the stone ladder and run for the entrance, but must still creep by the wall. And what was left of his sanity made him turn off his light before he ventured down.
