Siam, he looked the typical American tour ist ea his first trip to the Orient. Yet Holden, son of a devoted Yankee mother and a zealous Amer ican missionary, had grown np in Asia, Officially aa ethnologist, he is actually a secret service' man who helps 'maintain the white man's peace1 over a million square f miles of savage country. Back from a dangerous search for an Anna mite revolutionary, Holden plans a : . three months holiday. He meets Virginia Griffin, attractive Ameri can girl from St. Louis, Missouri, and tells her about the famous Em erald Buddha with a sacred dia mond la its forehead. Daniel Grif fin, noted Oriental art collector, -and his secretary and Virginia's fiance. Andre" Chambon, Join the party; Holdea learns at the palace that the Emerald Buddha has been : stolen from the temple. Revolution may result if it cannot be recovered before the Siamese winter festival six weeks hence. Loath to under take the search since Virginia's father, as a collector, is under sus- , pic ion, Holden finally consents to - do so at the King's urgent request. f CHAPTER V Ned spent part of the following- : Burning looking1 through archeo logical records in the royal mu seum and libraries. There was one sentence that he encountered, with slight variations, again and again. 'Tiki rara and beautiful piece is now believed to be fat the private col lection of Daniel Griffin, in St. Some ! of his treasures he had bought from Chinese war lords who had taken the things as loot. Many had simply disappeared from their native depositories and failed to show up again until Griffin cleared them through American customs. Although he had sever visited the Laotian country, la interior Indo China, Laotian art seemed to be his special fetish, And the Emerald Buddha, with Its sacred diamond, bad com out of that land! But still he remembered a home-ty-apeaking Middl Westerner in nusay linens. . ' . .,'- At four o'clock Ned and old Koh Kea were waiting in a friend's office crass the street from the Royal Oriental hotel. In Ned's pocket was pasakey Ralston had supplied this that unlocked the doors of GriSSa's suites. Presently ho saw GriAa and his daughter and secre tary rid away la a ear. She was dressed in white, wore a little whit hat with a perky brim, and carried a white parasol. Ned cursed the Emerald Bnddha from the Bo-tree t Nirvana. Posting Ebh-Xen ss lookout, he was soon standing in the empty cor ridor of the hotel, unlocking Grif fin's door with a steady hand. Cold ly, swiftly, he set about hi search. As he had known beforehand, there was no sign, of the Emerald Baddha. GrifSn's single trunk was unlocked: either innocence or cun ning, Ned could net tell which, At the bottom of his laundry bag was his only secret board two bottles f cloudy liquid which Ned guessed was Missouri corn whiskey. There were a few letters in the brief case which he scanned rapidly and r j placed. ' . ; He went next to Chambon's room. It had been his lodging only for a night or two, but already It bore the faint but unmistakable imprint of a complex, powerful personality. The toilet articles on the dresser be longed to a French dandy, but there was a businesslike big-calibered pistol under his pillow. Three hotel pictures, la this c&s worse than usual, bad been taken down and stored behind the tub, but on the reading table and stands were sev eral curios of great interest 'and value: gifts from his employer's col lection. Among them wss a bronze incense-burner of the Sung dynasty, j a small copper elephant that looked Coast Gridders i : . f r -' -.j-' "!"

Games this week are: Monday night--Eagles vs. Square Deal; By Edison Marshall Laotian, and a jade altar group of Buddha with attendant divinities. There was a box of fine Havana cigars on the table, and in a dark corner of his closet a half-smoked package of the cheapest, rankest Burma cheroots. In the meantime Ned had noticed two photographs on the table. He glanced at them carelessly, then with a kind of stealth, as though he feared their cardboard eyes could read his thoughts. The picture that interested him most was of a dis tingTii shed. Frenchman, the lapel of his evening coat covered with deco rations; probably the vicomte's Ned's flying hands stopped in . . in th father. So far, so good. But on th nobleman's shirt-front. Just over the heart, was what first appeared to b a red flyspeck. And then Ned saw it was a tiny drop of red ink. It took a good deal to shak Ned Holden. One he had seen a four foot pil of human heads In a re mot Chines market-place, and once, in upper Burma, he had arrived tea minutes too late to stop a cruci fixion. But at th sight of a tiny ink mark on a piece of cardboard, a curious and intensely disagreeable quiver shot across his scalp. This was not honest blood, like that ether. It flowed from no simple and natural cans, such aa loot and em pire and th rivalry of the cods. There was a secret her that might not be good to solve. Th other photograph was a poor, dim likeness of a handsome dark woman with tragic eyes,. Bat its frame was a wonder-work in carved white jade. j Ned went en I with his search. Chambon's trunk was locked, but In the key-ring Balaton had borrowed from the customs was a key to fit. Apparently th trunk held nothing of interest. . ? i Walt! Ther was a tear in the cloth lining; and. tucked into it, a package of letters. Most of these were lov letters by th sam girl ish hand. When Ned glanced at the signature, the quick, smooth flow of hi movements momentarily failed. He stopped,' drew a long breath, then coldly glanced over th lines. Xa the packet was on document of peculiar interest It was a loose page of cheap French paper, scrawled by a woman's hand. Hs translated roughly: . . . tired of ma and made me go away.

Ned stood holding it in his hand, as though he were trying to feel with his delicate fingers what it would not reveal to his eyes. mid-sir. He heard a rapid step corridor. H could not find th key but h did receive a warning. It rang like an alarm In the back of bis head. Danger I That was what it said. It stopped the whirl of his thoughts, and sent him stealing on tiptoe to the door. Bo had blundered into a storm of human passion. What If Chambon,' with his black-fire eyes, should open th door and find him, th letter in his hand? Ned did not know, but his imagination moved unpleas antly. - , , ... . ! He replaced th letter and locked th trunk. Listening a moment, h stole into Griffin's room and through the aid door to the room beyond. But h stopped on th threshold, ut most repugnance at this whole busi ness sweeping over him. Her was Virginia's room. Her merry little ghosts were In It now. Windows wide open. A novel and a box of candy beside th bed. A pleasant disorder on the dressing table, A number of hats tried on and discarded. A pair of dusty shoes kicked off and lying where they fell. But he went on with his search. He peered into closets lifted big cardboard boxes. At last be paused befor two wardrobe trunks. Must he pry into these! It was like eaves dropping on a girl's secrets. Grimly he knelt and began to try the locks ... But just then his fly ing hands stopped in mid-air, and h threw up his head with a wild movement, reminiscent of th 'sav age folk of th hills. He heard a rapid step In the corridor. It wss Koh-Ken. Th old servant paused at the door his light fingers touched th panel then sped on. Immediately behind him cam an other step co soft that only jungle trained ears could hear it. It also stopped at the door, but did not pass on .
