. HAPTBH xxxvj It wns like n journey in a drcam. She could not hear her guide's footstep* on ’ho atone; gave for the wni nt clutch of his fingers he seemed n disembodied spirit, lending her to seme unearthly rendezvous. How far the distance or how fast they traveled she would never remember; she only knew that the lights at the end of the passage slowly grew and brightened on her eyea. Presently her guide stopped and knelt nt her feet She felt hands on her ankles tugging at her slippers. Quickly she drew them off, and again they stole on. YVhen they had passed ing wings of rock, the guide s hand slipped out of hers and she felt him push her gently forward. He whispered words she did not understand, but plainly they were telling her she must go on alone. Ho could not fight his lord s battles. He was of the little people. Rut now she was within two hundred feet of the lights, and they would guide her straight Lowdown between them she thought she saw the shape of a man lying curiously huddled on the passage floor. Virginia crept nearer. Nerve that she had never dreamed she possessed ateeled her heart drove on her will, and steadied her movements. She could see plainly now. Chambon and two men in yellow gowns were working over what appeared to be a cobweb of fine wires, glistening in the light. The form on the floor was Ned, his ankles bound, his hands lashed behind his back. She crept up beside him and gently touched his face. He made no sound or start; he seemed to be expecting her. He only moved stealthily so she could reach his bound bands. Her little fingers flew at the knots. They were not difficult, and her sense of touch had been preternaturally quickened. Soon his hands were free. Instantly she handed him her pistol, but he did not raise the weapon yet. He waited till his numbed wrists grew strong, and meanwhile Virginia was untying the cords binding his ankles. Before she had finished Chambon rose and vanished down the stairway. apparently to complete the wiring for the coming blast It was another index of the turn in Ned’s tide of fortune. Now his foes were divided, an opportunity he would not pass. First testing his strained muscles, he rose stealthily. When he felt Virginia's head touch his shoulder, in loyalty and comradeship, perhaps in promise of ever greater things, his will to win grew gigantic, unconquerable. Al) man he stood there, his power* »t their supreme height, poised for the great stroke of his life. Very (quietly he stood out into the lantern light and raised Virginia's pistol. His only sound was a sibilant hiss commanding silence. | The two priests flung back, their flat eyes bulging from their wooden faces. As they looked into Ned's face, their arms slowly raised. With his free hand. Ned waved them back agawst the blind end of the passage. “Face the wall." he told I them in an undertone. “Virginia.' can you tie their hands" She only smiled at his doubt, and with Ned’s own thongs, went Uptoe"ing forward. Meanwhile Ned stood a little to one side of the stairway opening, in case Chambon should make a surprise attack. Rut Virginia never finished her task. There was no need. The drama that had taken two long centuries to reach a eiimax ended in two brief second*. They heard Chamber.’s step frantic-fast on the stone stairs. Perhaps seme acoustical property of the atone had carried Ned's voice to his I ears, possibly he had seen a «uspi-| cious shadow Now he was coming to fight for his own. his shout rest uading ia the passage.

Ned had no time to seise a commanding position, to cover all three enemies. Anyway, the desperate cry that burst from the stairway told him plainly that no pointed . pistol would stop Chambon’s charge. With a sense of impending horror, Ned turned to shoot at him the instant he appeared. But he was spared that. It so happened that Chambon’s last leup to the top of the stairs all but fell short, and he landed off-balanco. Ned struck at him with his free arm, to knock him down and take him alive, but Chamber, reeled back to dodge the blow. Somehow he missed his footing — pitched backward — fell crashing down the stairs. They hoard his body strike the floor of the crypt With a cry. Virginia ran to give him what aid she could. White with horror, Ned still guarded his prisoners. “Let us go," one of them said. “Chow See Veet is dead.” “Walk ahead of me, down the stairs," Ned answered in hoarse tones. “Keep your hands in the air." W’ith his free hand he unhooked the lantern from the wall. “We will obey, but you e*n put away the pistol. The last king is dead. The prophecy has failed. There is nothing more." “We will see,” the other priest answered his fellow. “Perhaps the prophecy has been fulfilled by the act of God.” But Ned did not know what he meant, nor could he interpret the fires rising in his slanted eyes. Oblivious to Ned’s pistol, the older priest picked up the Laotian crown, and he and his fellow filed down the steps. Ned stalked behind. Virginia was waiting for him in the darkness below. “Dead?” Ned murmured. “Yes. I feit his heart.” Ned held the lantern high. It showed Chambon lying full length in the crypt, one hand out and open, his eyes closed and his face composed save for a curl of his lips like a dreamy smile. Then up spoke the elder of the two priests, and his voice resounded in the chamber. “Behold, a miracle! So oct Lord Buddha aleep* in Nirvana.” "It is another incarnation," the other priest answered. "We are blessed even b- yond our brothers in Tibet." Ned knew that he referred to the Tibetans’ worship of what they called the Living Buddha, one of a' succession of incarnations of their gcd. The elder priest turned solemnly • to him. “You may return the Enter-1 aid Buddha to Siam. We do not need I it now—its spirit has entered unto him. this sleeping one. The prophecy | has been fulfilled.” He laid the Laotian crown beside Chambon’s head. Both priests krelt. i toueh’ng their heads to the floor,! ' then rose and elimbed up the steps. ‘ I Nee and Virginia followed in dead silence. At the head of the stairs, Ned . picked up the Emerald Buddlta. and! the silent file trudged down the pas-: ■ sage toward the train corridor of the ear*. When the two priests exchanged a few words in an undertone, Nedt , and Virginia were too dazed to guess . ,their import. Only when they had| 1 climbed down out of the upper pas-1 ' sage, and Use cider priest passed by , the wall, could they guess the ' strange epilcgce of the night's . I events. j I On the wall hung two pairs «fi . wire*. The priest was touching the ■ ends of the first pair together. There j was re time to prevent the act. even i if Ned had sc desired; perhaps in his ' , heart be knew it was a nobly fitting ] , thing. It would be only a mighty . curtain ringing down. As the wines touched, there was ; a second es sustt-se. then a ter- ■ rific explosion at the far end of the 1 upper passage. The whole eave rang,

like the gong of doom: a blast of air leaped out of the opening almost bursting Ned's eardrums and burfeting him like a tempest • the lan. tern wont out Yet he guessed that only the well of the stone stairway had been blasted down; and the main charge, to destroy the whole upper end of the secret passage and let in the “hidden waters” was yet to be set off. « . U1 The priest would have fired this also, save that the sudden darkness delayed him in finding the .ires. Before he could grope for them. Neu thrust him gently aside. "You have scaled his tomb, already,” he said. "To set off th» main charge would be dangerous for us here. Let us go." So, leaving the little headless ones with a new god to guard, they pushed on to the open air. At the mouth of the cave, they met Griffin and St. Pierre with an armed search-party. But it was not until they returned to the bungalow that the last stone in the mosaic pattern was set in place, and they were free to look forward into the glowing future, not back to the lost, dark past. The tale of the night's events was hardly told when to the door of the bungalow came a little half-naked man. dark as the shadows he hovered in. He asked to speak to T'Fan. “The Emerald Buddha will go back to its temple, and not the Khas to their chains,” he gobbled in debased Laotian. "And now I have come for my own." “I don’t understand," Ned gasped. “If you mean a reward, you can have almost anything you name.” “Nay, I want only what is mine. I am Trang, headman of my village. The night we stole the white master from his bed, I left my knife in the netting. It was a good blade, welltempered, and there were bright stones on the hilt If Tuan has mercy, he will give it back.” Griffin ran quickly to get the knife from his baggage and the little man thrust it lovingly into hi* belt At once he turned to go. “But I haven't even thanked you, Trang,” Ned cried. “I will send a reward to enrich your whole village. We couldn't have won without your help—" “Nay, I am only one of the little folk, fit only to watch—and listen—i and carry word." And then his 1 dark form melted into the shadows “But how about your own chains, ' Ned?” Griffin asked, as Virginia ■caned on his chair in the bungalow, and the three were alone. “Are you bound to this fantastic country for the rest of your life?" “I'd like to break free and return to my own country." Nod answered lat last. “Do you suppose there's a pl» s there for a man like me—w ith .such training as I've had?” “Well, there might be." Griffin | drawled, with a twinkle in his ere. '“You'd have ail international dipioI macy to aim for. and I knew an old j pork-packer with enough influence j to get you started." Ned's face lit up snd he started to ; speak, but Griffin raised his hand. “No you dost! Well talk about it lin the daylight. Why we're not all . down and out I can't imagine. VirJ ginia, have you enough common sense to go straight tc bed?" She hesitated a brief instant, her ' gaze o® Ned's. “I’m afraid that com- , mon sense isn't my strong pt.nt," . she answered with a dim smile. , “She’ll be along in just a minute, 1 Griffin," Ned broke in stoutly. I Griffin went to his room and banged the door. Ned and Virginia j headed with one mmd for the little dusty reading-room where they had , met twice before. Very carefully, Ned drew the blind on the window. But he hardly had need to light the lamp, so g’l'ricus'y shining were Virginia’s eyes. THE END. CWT-nr 1 * W r.t»» .
