CHAPTER XXX Ned stood in the main corridor, Tt was only a little way now to the tunnel where he had lain in ambush; who was Wing there now? He found the place soon, but he had not yet found the courage to run its gauntlet. The strength ran out of hi* muscles, the lime from his bone*, and he leaned, shaking and aick, against the wall. But in a little while the arms of Asia clasped him and comforted him. He remembered a philosophy drunk with his nurse's milk. “What does It matter?” he told himself. "In this life I am Ned Holden, an exile from my own kind, and the love that might have brought me home is lost. Perhaps I will do better in the next existence.” Although his white man’s mind rejected the teaching, still it gave him the blind courage that hurls the Pathan howling against the British guns—and before he knew it, he was through the tunnel and scenting the distant freshness of God’s good air in the wide black corridor beyond. And here that loitering, fumbling some one walked at his side again. He had waited patiently for Ned’s return. His feet made a dry, faint, rasping sound against the stones. Ned heard someone give a hoarse cry—and it was himself. "H’fto'* there!" His voice echoed, fainter and fainter against the walls, and died away in a whisper; but there was no answer. “Speak, or I'll ihoot." He was not conscious that he spoke in English, a white man first and last He heard the feet patter off, stop, rustlo against the stones, and pass out of hearing. But his comrade of the darkness had not left him for good. Although Ned could detect nothing that he could identify a* sound, there was a mist of hearing deep within his ears, and he knew he was not alone. Sometimes in front of him, sometimes behind, occasionally against the opposite wall, he could sense the Presence still. And just before he reached the last turn of the passage, when his yearning heart began to jare to hope, and his dead eyes to :ome to life from the dim suggestion of diffused light from the cavern mouth beyond, the Unseen moved openly and gave breath. A soft whisper streamed through the silence. “Hide quickly,” it said in debased Laotian. “They are coming." Ned did not stop to question. With a wild upsurge of his heart, he leaped into the nearest recess in the wail. Then there was a sound of little feet pattering on the stone floor, and all was still. But only for a moment. From the mouth of the cave came the sound of steps. They drew closer, careless steps and bold. Now there was a mutter n' voices as men talked together. A dim radiance began to flicker on the walls and slowly brightened til! the passage was lighted by a yellow glare. Peering out of his hole in the wall, Ned saw two Laotians, in the yellow robes of Buddhist priests, pass by with torches in their hands. One of them carried a miner’s pick over his shoulder. As they came opposite Ned lowered his face lest its white gleam catch the priests’ gaze, but they looked neither right nor left. The flickering glimmer slowly dimmed. The noise of their footfall died «»vay. But Ned did not stir until he heard little feet pattering again, and then a whisper outside his hid* ing-place. “They are gone now. You can go in safety.” Ned crawled out into the passage and lseneri on the wall. At last he tried to speak and give thanks, but his throat filled and his trembling lips would not shape the words.

-Great God, who are you?” he managed to gasp at last in the Laotian tongue. “No one that • Laotian chief would remember,” a guttural n,ur ’ mur answered. “But you might have saved my life. Tell me in case the chance comes to pay the debt,” “I am only one of the little people, and cannot fight the chief’s battle*. I can only look—and listen —and carry word.” • • • When Ned returned to the bungalow, Griffin and his party had not yet finished their outing. He had time to go to the Residence and report his discoveries to the governor. “I cannot read Pali either, and there is no way to send those characters by wireless to Hanoi,” the governor said. “But in two days a deputy commissioner who knows the language will visit me here.” Ned gave him a copy of the script for safe-keeping, and was back in the bungalow when Griffin and his party arrived. Virginia passed him without a glance, but Griffin paused, smiling. “Have a good rest, T’Fan?” “Yes, lord. But I would seek a further favor. Tonight I would go with Pu-Bow to do worship to our gods.” He spoke in Pu-Bow’s hearing, to tie his hands in case his invitation was a trap, but Ned hardly expected Griffin to catch on so quickly and chime in so well. “You can go, provided it’s safe. ! won’t want any more killings. PuBow, will you be responsible for his life?” “He will be in no danger with me tonight. I am only a poor bearer, but I pledge his safety in the name of our Shining One.” And Ned knew that pledge would be kept. The protection of Lord Buddha lay over him. It was a good thing, too—he had stood almost all that one mortal heart could stand, in a single day. He soon realized that Pu-Bow had accepted him as a Laotian patriot, and was eager to enlist him in his own cause. But he would not tell that cause in plain words. That would not be the way of the East. It was congenitally impossible for him to do more than circle about it, hint at it, and express it in symbols and metaphors. The greatest possible breach not only of Oriental manners, but of his own rftle as an Asiatic would be for Ned to question him directly. But at last the veil of mystery was beginning to lift; unless he was greatly mistaken, the meeting tonight in the joss-house would reveal many hidden things. Soon after dark, Pu-Bow led him to an incense-scented room, back of the town pagoda. These were the quarters of the saffron-robed priests; two of them, young men with shaven heads, sat against the wall clicking their beads. A score of Laotian men were assembled there, smoking, chewing betel-nut, and talking in low tones. Not only their garb, but their pale color and fine features showed they were all highcaste, nobles and mandarins from outlying towns. Ned joined with proper humility in the talk, discussing crops, tigerraids, and the latest follies and wonders of the French. But he heard not a word hinting at revolution. He knew now that Chambon’s plot was not concerned with Laotian politics, at least for the present. Presently the priests drew back a curtain, revealing a typical Buddhist altar, and began the conventional invocation. Ned was bored and restless, but he sat up straight when the older priests whirled to the congregation with lifted arms. And now began a strange catechism, the priest asking questions, and the congregation answering in one voice. “Where did it come from?” “From beyond the White Peaks.” Ned thought that this phrase

must refer to Tibet, beyond the endless snows of the Himalayas. "Who brought it here?” the priest j mo" 1 on - ' . t ->l “The Grdat King Vong. first Lord of Life.” , “Where was it lodged? “In the place Thrice-Iloly, by the Hidden Waters." , , “Who in his folly moved it from its rightful place to his PlensureCity across the Mekong? “The false King Souka. twentieth Lord of Life.” “Was the Shining One pleased “Nay, he was angry.” And now a low moan moved through the crowd. “How fared our people then? “The crops failed. The hundred cities fell to plague and fire. The timbers of the temples rotted away. The land was accursed.” The proud facei surrounding Ned were drawn and pale with some agony of soul no white man could ever understand. The disasters of which they wailed had occurred centuries ago, but they conceived time not as a road to travel down, only to lie at last under its dust, but as a river flowing past the door of their deathless souls, changing but ever changeless. 1 The priest clicked his beads and stood a moment in meditation; then the remorseless catechism went on. ; “Who saw that the land was weakened and came to conquer?” “The dark folk of the South.” And Ned knew they meant the Siamese. “Where spread their banners?” “Over our ruined cities and the palaces of our king.” “Was the king slain?” “Yea, but his r0.,»l daughter escaped to pass down the blood.” “How many times have the winter rains come and gone since then?” “Five score and five.” * This was true, Ned knew. The Siamese had conquered Laos in 1828. And now the priest’s voice fell to a broken murmur barely audible in the breathless room; it was as though the words were smoked out of him as he stood burning at the stake. “Did—they—touch—the Divine One with their bloody hands?” “Yea.” But it was more a groan than a word. “Did—they—carry it away?” “Yea.” And every man in the room covered his face with his hands, no doubt part of the ritual. “Where did they take it?” “To their king’s temple in the South.” “But will it ever be returned to its rightful place?” “Yea, yea.” And now the tall chiefs raised their heads, their eyes luminous, their voices crashing. Ned forgot he was an enemy spy and thrills ran down his spine. Naturally emotional, he too was swept off his feet by this tale of love and loss and deathless faith. The priest paused for the sake of suspense. An accomplished orator like so many of his cult, he knew how to make the most of the ancient ritual. When he spoke again, it was in a dull monotone. “Who will restore it?” “He who will come.” “Where will he come from?” “Over the sea.” “Whose hand 3hali guide him?” “She of the true blood.” The priest leaned forward, his eyes burning, and spoke in a hoarse whisper charged with suspense. “When will he come, to fulfill the writings on the stone and restore all that was lost?” The answer came in one great whisper, like a rush of wings. “When the pale men from the West have held their pickets in our land for two score years.” Ned felt his hair rustle up under his wig. The French had occupied Laos since 1893, precisely forty years. (To be continued.) Copjrrlfht hr Ediion Marihtil Distributed by Ktr* Kesture* Syndicate. Ine.
