CHAPTER XXXII “I will follow, but go slowly, lest I lose you in the darkness.” At »nc« tho little feet pattered away. Ned followed their sound — down the alley, along a cross-street, through a deserted courtyard, and into what seemed to be the garden of a fine native residence. “Take my hand,” the guide whispered. , , . Ned groped in the darkness, and something in the clutch of those I little monkey-like fingers on his own ' removed the last of his doubts and fears. At least they were warm, living, and Ned knew he had found a friend. . Invisible as a black leopard, the guide led him through the garden, weaving around obstacles Ned could not see, and finally halted him behind a shed built onto the rear of a native house. Above him was the lighted square of a second-story window and a faint murmur of talk. "Climb the roof, and then you can see and hear,” the presence whispered. “I must wait below.” For he was only one of the Little People, after *ll. Ned slipped off his sandals, drew himself silently onto the low edge of the shed, and climbed to its juncture with the wall of the house. Standing erect, he could look full into the lighted window. It was like gazing at an illuminated stage, set and arranged to display the drama of the Emerald Buddha. He could see every move of the actors, hear every word. It was so easy and looked so safe that his first sensation was not wonder or I delight, but alarm. He was not used : to these favors. Instinctively he feared a deadfall. But soon his fears and himself, too, were lost in the story unfolding before bis eyes. For once, be had caught his antagonists off guard. This was not a stage-set, but a view behind the scenes. They sat at ease, their talk free, their window open to the night’s cool. Ned was gazing into the upstairs lounging-rooin of a rich Laotian family. The walls were hung with tapestries; two pale blue Chinese lamps gave a pleasant, soft light. On the big teakwood divans reclined the host, an old mandarin Ned had seen at the joss-house, and his three guests, Chambon, Pu-Bow, and Nokka. And the Genii of the Black Smoke hovered over the room. Nokka was just putting down her pipe. Pu-Bow lay with a look of trance. The old mandarin was at that moment preparing a pipe, toasting the opium into a ball over a spirit-lamp, while Chambon looked on with dreamy eyes. “But after all,” Chambon said in French, “none of us will live to see it. Perhaps we should have let the future generations fight their own battles. And who knows, it may be all a myth.” No one answered, but the mandarin continued to whirl the opiumball over the flame. “It’s al) so vague, so shadowy," Chambon went on. “Even now, I am half inclined to give up the plan and keep the Emerald Buddha for myself." “You will be keeping it for yourself, in the most deep and true sense, forever and ever,” old Nokka answered. “But not to touch—to see—to worship.” “So speaks the white man, who believes nothing, possesses nothing, he cannot see with his eyes and touch with his hands. Remember the teaching: 'When the gold is spent and the maidens dance away, still remain the treasures of the soul.’ ” Nokka’s words flowed out in a low monotone, hut even Ned, a white man and an alien, felt their power. I Chambon’s face looked very still and white.

— ■ —————— “1 said it mostly to test your faith.” There was something in Chambon’s voice «nd manner Ned could not define, a quiet consciousness of place and power such as might be expected in a high priest or an prince. “Now give me my pipe agt in. Otherwise I stay bound to the Wheel.” And to hear this solemn Buddhist expression on the lips of a fellow white man filled Ned with wonder. The old mandarm passed over a pipe of beautifully inlaid woods. Chambon placed the opium ball in the aperture, lighted it, and consumed it in a few rapid puffs. He smoked several times more in the next hour. With each pipe, the mysticism and aestheticism of his nature stood forth more and more, until his handsome manly face strikingly suggested that of a Buddhist priest—not far from the blissful, dreamy countenance of a Buddhist image. “Are there any more of those cursed practical things to decide before we sleep ?” he asked at last, as though with an effort of will. “What is to become of Virginia Nokka asked. “She has my heart—and I do not want her to grieve.” “As soon as our work is done and we can leave the Orient, everything will be as it was before between her and me.” “You will tell her the truth ?” “In the end, yes. She would not understand it now, or appreciate it. Remember she has the prejudices of her kind.” "And Tuan Griffin?" "Wo will go on collecting treasures—for his collection.” An earthy smile touched lightly Chambon s rapt face, and flitted away. “There is one other matter. What is to be done with T’Fan?” Ned, perching on the roof of the shed, pricked up his bewildered ears. “There is no harm in T’Fan,” PuBow broke ia. “He is thick-headed as a buffalo, not to know what is going on, but he is a good workman, and I wish we had enlisted him in our cause.” “I am not so sure,” Chambon said. “Remember, he came with us on the recommendation of the governor in Vinh. And if he is in French pay—” “Why take the risk?” Old Nokka’s black-bead eyes rolled quickly from side to side in their slanted pits. “What is one little life, compared—” “But would you want us to—” "Quickly! If he is a traitor to his people, he should thank you to be freed from the Wheel. If he is loyal, he will be born again in better station, with not so thick a head. So he profits either way.” Ned wished that this might be a jest, grim though it was, but it was only sound Buddhist philosophy. Chambon finished his pipe and laid it down. “He is well-liked by Virginia and her father, and 1 am sorry we cannot trust him. Pu-Bow, I leave the matter in your hands. Now I must sleep.” The old mandarin turned down the lights, and Ned stole away. He had not learned the whereabouts of the Emerald Buddha, but at least, he had new evidence to support his theory of the mystery. If a lost queen of the Laotian people, inspired by an ancient prophecy and driven by religious fervor, had wished to enlist a French Buddhist in a bizzare cause, she could have found no more powerful ally than the Black Smoke. The Orient had known the power of hypnotic suggestion a thousand years before Mesmer ever touched pen to paper. Ned knew now that Chambon’s strangest deeds were the fruit of ideas implanted in his mind during an opium trance with Nokka, years before in France. Still the light would not clear. There was a break in the story yet. If Ned had found the key to the truth, it still rattled loose in the

lock, and the door remained closed. Sundown o’s the next <i»J found Ned and Griffin closeted with the governor at the Res.dence and Virginia sat beside them, rhey were waiting with suppressed excitement for the arrival <* th «JW uty commissioner who would translate the mysterious Pali inscription. He had been due two hours before, but the moon was out and swimming high through scattered clouds before they heard his footfall on the porch. He proved to he an entfap'nff young Frenchman named DeFosse. He explained hi. lateness by the odd fact that a bridge had been blown up fifteen miles from Chiengkhuang, elosing the road to automobile traffic. “And it was only the greatest luek that I found both a horse and a ford, otherwise I could not have arrived until morning.” “Have you any idea who blew up the bridge, and for what pilrpose . St. Pierre asked, after he had introduced his guests. “Who can explain anything in this fantastic country? I would guess at wild Mois, up to their usual deviltry.” “I think the bridge was destroyed solely to delay your arrival. Strange things are in the wind, but I must ask you to wait for the story until you have translated for us an inscription in Pali. It may be that every moment is precious.” An experienced executive, DeFosse took a chair by the table and began to study the inscription. He had only transcribed a few words when he glanced up with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. “This is a very interesting thing, your Excellency.” “It came from the Cave of the Million Buddhas.” “I think it is going to clear up—” Ned never heard the end of that sentence. A violent explosion rocked the house. The floor swayed, the window glass burst and flew out, echoes like giants’ feet ran from room to room. The oil lamp whisked out, and darkness added its terror to the blast of air and sound. Ned was thrown forward, halfstunned, but as sense came back, he found he had clasped Virginia in his arms. “What was it, Ned?” she whispered, with a strange calm. “I don’t know. It was in this house —” Meanwhile confused cries rose in the darkness. “Is any one hurt?” "Dieu avec nous!” “Strike a match, some one.” And then Griffin’s voice, drawling pleasantly from a corner: “Governor, I think one of your little friends must have let go a bomb!” By now Ned had got out his flashlight and swept it through the room. 1 It lighted up one white face after 1 another, but no one was hurt, no visible damage done save to the window. His routed faculties began ! to rally to his need. The light I trembling from his hand slowly i grew steady. I “St. Pierre, was that an infernal ' machine set for DeFosse?” ‘ “I do not know. It seemed to i come from my office —” “Your strong-box is in there, and t the sacred diamond—” ) And now Ned knew the answer. > His pistol out, his light flashing, he ■ darted through the hall into the ! office. One sweep of the beam told 1 the story. Just inside the door lay 1 a native watchman, stunned, with a t bleeding wound in his head. The : windows had been burst out clean I and the furniture knocked over and , broken by the force of the explosion. The safe gaped open, its heavy door . broken off, the bundles of official . papers were strewn on the floor. • (To be continued.) .
