CHAPTER XXXIV “Then who is your son T" Ned persisted remorselessly. "But I see now. Andr£ Chambon. But he is French —and you are a Laotian woman." Now that the truth could no longer be concealed, royal pride made her answer straight. "My mother was the daughter of a Queen’s daughter. But my father was French Corsican, and a white man.” In the haunted silence, Ned hardly knew his own voice. “He married your mother during a visit to Laos, and took her back to Europe?" “He married her in this very city —by the Buddhist ceremony—and lived here with her until several years after my birth." Nokka still seemed dazed, and spoke in dull tones. “That makes everything clear. When you grew up you married tn* cider Chambon. and Andre is yotu •on." “Truly my son! Although only a quarter-caste, his soul is pur* Laotian, and he is the last of the kings. Chow See Veet! The Keeper of the Prophecy! And you, T'Fan. are his subject and must stand by him to the end.” In the meantime the Sergeant of the Guard had sent for * stretcher to take Pu-Bow to the mission hospital. He was about to arrest Ned and march him off to the guardhouse when St Pierre and Griffin emerged from the bungalow. "I’ll take T’Fan in charge." said his Excellency. “Meanwhile you and your men keep close watch and admit no one to the grounds." Ned followed his friends into the Joungn. Here they joined De Fosse an-. Virginis The men were grave and calm. Virginia very pale. “V. here’s Ciiambon?" was Ned’s fir.t ffues ion. “He was with us until we heard the shots.’’ Griffin answered. "They sounded so faint from here that we weren’t greatly alarmed, but St Pierre sent one of the house guards to investigate, and Chambon went with him " “He didn’t show up." Ned related briefly the farts of the shooting, and turned the diamond over io St. Pierre. “I suggest that you post a special military guard over it tonight. I have a feeling the fireworks have only begun. Monsieur DeFosse, did you finish translating the script?” -Yes, and here ft is.” Theeommissioner handed Ned a paper. And this was the Writing on the Stone: Woe unto us! Where is our Emerald Buddha, who used to dwell in the crypt at the foot of the stairs? Answer, thou vain King who first moved Him from His rightful place to thy pleasure-city, whereby our land was afflicted. Exult, ye Siamese who later bore Him prisoner to the South. Lie still, ye million little ones who guarded Him, slain so ye may not follow and avenge. But take heart, O Laotians. When invaders from the West have reigned forty years, thy lost King and Lord of Life will return from exile across the sea and with his own hands restore our Emerald Buddha to His rightful place. There ye will let Him sleep, resting from His journeys, a hundred years, and no man shall disturb His rest with offerings. Then He will awaken—our kingdom will flourish as es old—and the Khas go back to their chains. Ned read it twice with eyes big with wonder. “Everything that’s happened goes straight back to this,” he murmured. “Trouble.; bloodshed, heroic sacrifice—perhaps j war and revolution before we're 1

through — all for the sake of a - carved green rock with a diamond s in it, and a prophecy cut on a stone i by a long-dead priest It is—what i can we say?” "It’s the Orient" St. Pierr* an- ) swered quietly. • Griffin passed his hand across his forehead. "I still don’t see where ! Chambon comes in on this.” r "It’s plain enough,” Ned told him. > “We simply failed to remember that a Frenchman must have grandmothr er* as well as grandfathers. . . . I His words trailed off; the pale culet > of his fae* changed to the flush of excitement "Where u Chamhonf ’ This is the crucial night I Good Lord, I let’s get busy—" Virginia's eyes were on him, but I he knew better than to glance in her 1 direction. Their blissful interlude was over, his dream lost There ■ could be no rest no refuge, until 1 ' th* drama of the Emerald Buddha had swept on to the bitter end. "Th* last I saw of Chambon, he ws« hurrying down ths corridor,” ' DeFosse told him. Ned sped away, and did not see Virginia dart for her room. Near the entrance to the courtyard he met one of the French sentries. “Have you seen Vicomte Chambon?” “Just a minute ago. He got something out of the baggage room and carried it out that door.” Ned turned to follow, then wheeled, his eyes glittering. “What did it look like, the thing he was carrying?” “Just one of those curios—the broken bust of a stone Buddha. It must have weighed fifty kilos, but he didn’t want any help. And since that first secret order about anyone moving the baggage is no longer in force—” Ned darted to the door, cursing his own blindness. “You fool! You stupid fool I It couldn’t be—and yet it is—” He reached the courtyard only In time to see Chambon lift something heavy into a waiting automobile, leap into the seat, and drive off. Ned turned to raise the alarm for a belated pursuit, but paused to listen to a hammering sound in front of the bungalow garage. A nativo mechanic had rolled out one of Griffin’s touring ears and was working by a lantern-light on a spare tire. Ned was beside him as though he had covered the distance in one bound. “Is she ready to run?” “Yes, but—” “Give me the key I It’s an emergency—” "I do not dare, T’Fan. save by Sahib’s order. I am not the driver, only the mechanic—” “Give it here! There’s not a moment to lose.” But the man sprang back, protesting. Ned reached for his pistol to enforce obedience. But just then Virginia appeared beside him in the moonlight. “It’s all right,” she assured the mechanic, in French. “Do what he tells you.” The man handed over the key and Ned leaped into the driver’s seat. “Thanks, Virginia,” he called, as he pressed the starter. "But you mustn’t go alone!” "Sorry, I can’t wait even an instant.” He slipped out the clutch and the car got into motion.” But as the wheels began to turn, Virginia sprang into the seat beside him. i He pressed his brake. “Get out Virginia." “Try to put me out! You’ll only lose more time.” "Please don’t delay me. I’ve got to swing around the bungalow and I’ll drop you at the front gate.” “No, I'm going all the way. Make! up your mind to it. Or else you're ; not going either.” i “But Virginia, it’s deadly busi1 ness. You mustn’t risk it.”

) "I brought my pistol. And I may I be able to stand between you and • Andre. If not for your sake—tor ■ N s ” , u . They had now made the turns and . were passing in front of the bungslow, but he did not touch the brakes, i “It’s your right, I suppose. But ■ I warn you—l’m going to get back the Emerald Buddha at all costs. She seemed to accept his terms. As Ned turned off the lights, trust- . ing only to the doubtful glimmer of the moon, she uttered no word of fear or protest And now, even ’ though she fought on Chambon s side, Ned began to feel a strange eomfort, almost exultation, in the touch of her shoulder against his. Far ahead, where the road curved sharply through a break in the trees, he thought he saw a flicker of moving light. Plainly, Chambon was heading straight for the cave. “I’m going to take the side road and come in from behind, in case there’s a trap set,” Ned told Virginia, just «s though she were hts ally. “And then what?” "God only knows. You must stay well back out of danger. That’s only fair to me. Because —if it comes to j saving you or the Buddha —I m , afraid—” "That you might save the Buddha?" There was a curious throb in her tone. "That’s what I ought to do. sfr>* you came on your own risk. But I’n. not that game.” “I’ll remember, Ned, I’ll try not to interfere with your job. Now if it won’t slow up your driving, tell me the exact situation.” "Chambon has the Emerald Buddha, concealed in the stone bust. It was there all the time St. Pierre was searching the baggage-room.” “But I found that bust myself, grown around with the vines. Surely it was genuine.” "It was planted, vines and all.” Ned spoke out of the side of his mouth, his gaze riveted on the moonlit road. “You remember tne crack in it? No doubt that’s where it opened. Probably Chinese workmanship: they are marvels at contriving ingenious containers with trick openings. Chambon and his allies laid their plans in a masterly way, even to a spare hideout for the Emerald Buddha in case they had to move it on short notice.” The car lurched around a curve, but she paid no attention. “And they moved it between the time we opened the wooden image, and St. Pierre’s search?" “While we. like so many fools, were outside watching the door! The stones that puzzled us so much , have been in the hollow bust the whole time, to maintain the proper weight, and why we didn't guess it I don't know. Os course it’s easy to be hind-sighted—" “How could you guess it? The bust looked too short.” “But we never measured it, to make sure.” Suddenly Ned struck the steering-wheel with his fist. "Virginia, that was the most cunning thing of all, the wily Oriental at his best You remember Chambon spoke of its odd cross-ribbed doublet? Those ribs foreshortened the bust, creating an illusion that fooled us all." Virginia said nothing until they were around the next bend. “And now what’s he going to do with it? Just put it in the crypt to fulfill the prophecy?" "It’s more than that, Virginia. He’s restoring it to Laos—because of an obligation.” He felt her gasp. “What is that obligation?” “He’ll have to tell you that, himself.” But why this was true, Ned ! himself did not know. It was somehow a private matter between Virginia and his rival. (To be continued.) OjyrtrM b» Fli,on ST.- I,an. Dlitrlbut** M King bynd.c&le. Ine.
