At once the old man was beside him. "Keep doss watch . tonight," Ned ordered. "Yea, lord. The dead walk tonight," It was true. All the dark was thronged with hosts, but what were their names, and where were the lost graves from which they rose, and what was the portent of their return, even old; Koh-Ken of the dark blood did not understand, let alone this white-skinned alien clasped merely for one life time in the arms of Asia. -Ned went to his blanket and was soon asleep. It was the black ebb tide of the night, just before its turn, that he wakened with a leap of his eyelids and a strong; surge of his heart. ( The moon had set. There was a dim glimmer, hardly more than a pals mist, over the eastern hills that promised soon the rush-and splendor "of .the tropic dawn. The fire had burned down to a few red sticks ready to fall to black coals. His old heart shocked more than he knew by Fu-Bow violence. Koh-Ken had fallen to sleep. Without one movement to show that he was awake. Ned looked and listened. In spite of the unbroken dark and the brooding silence, he knew now that he had not been sum moned from sleep in vain. The camp was full of living things crawling in the dust. One of them was only a few feet from his bed. It was no more than haze in his eyes, a shadow vaguely less black than the night that shield ad it, yet slowly, stealthily be saw it moving toward the rest-house. And now when he listened hard, he could bear it breathe. - - Ned sprang op with a yell of alarm. But before be could get to hts feet, the shadow had leaped for him and was clutching at him with little kard hands. Ned snatched at It once. Identified a small naked man, and cast it away. Then ka darted for the rest-house. The events of the next few sec ends would always be a tangle in Ned's brain. Panic broke loose; fear ran in the dark. The silence exploded into savage shouts, "yells of fear, gobblings and monkey-like chattering. The camp was full of men who ran and dodged, collided and felL - Ned tripped over one man. an other clutched at his legs only to be kicked away. Yet he gained the door of the mess-shack, collided with some one there, and blind to every thing but the strong will of his heart, fought his way to Virginia's room. Nokka was by the door, strug gling with something that gobbled and ran. Virginia was caught in her mosquito-net like a moth in a web, but she broke through and their hands met in the darkness. "Where's your flashlight?" "On the floor by my bed." i Still holding her with one hand he rroped for the light and presently clutched it. An instant later its yellow team filled the room. But GrLUn's rides were all in his own room. Ned moved to tha door, Virginia behind him and protected by his body, the light flung in front. As it danced into the middle-room wLere Chambon slept, it burnished the naked sides of two men just in the act of leaping out the main door, and its furthest beam caught tha whites of a pair of eyes at the win dow. . . Ned sprang to the entrance and swept the camp with his light, but all it showed was his own men hud dled in a group by the fire and some dim running figures that soon disap peared. In the meantime, Chambon was getting op from the floor, dazed but apparently unhurt. Ned heard him scratch a match, light 'the oil lamp, and then snick a shell into the chamber of - his rifle. And the shadows leaped and cavorted on the walls as Virginia seized the lamp and darted into the further room, where her father slept. Through the incredible silence that followed the raid, her voice rose in a frantic cry. i -Father Father t Wher are you?" . ! . : Before Ned could cross the room, the girl reappeared at the door, the light trembling in her hand. "Father isn't here," she said in broken tones. "They've carried him off." ! Until now Ned had been fighting in a daze. In the violence and terror of the night attack, grappling with invisible, things that clutched and gobbled and ran, he was only an other savage in the dark. It was his heart, not his head,' that had driven him to Virginia's bedside at all costs. But this news she cried from the doorway was a concrete thing, a hard fact to seize and face. AH at once be was Ned Hoi den, on the job. "Stay here with Chambon,". he told Virginia. "Master," and he called Chambon so without conscious effort, so suddenly clear was his mind and sharp ; his thoughts "guard her with your rifle." Flashing his light before him, Ned entered Griffin's room. There were his clothes over a chair his rifle in a corner here was the im print of his head on his pillow. But the man himself had vanished with out trace. ( -; Had he been knocked, unconscious while he slept and carried off bod ily? More likely I he had yielded quietly to overwhelming numbers. And sensibly too; caught in the mos quito net was a wicked-looking iron knife with a carved teakwood grip and a row of uncut topaz where the blade joined the hilt. A clean blade. This was good news. Kha chieftains carried such knives ; added proof that the raiders were Kha savages from the hills. To spare Virginia, he put the weapon out of sight; then returned to her and her lover waiting in the next room. As he came through the door, he was arrested by their faces in the lamplight, so vivid against the shadowy background. What a staunch little soldier was standing there, stark pale, but swallowing her sobs, her head up, her shoulders square. The expression on Cham bon's face he would never forget. No bewilderment was there, hardly even curiosity, but a fateful look . . . Yes, and a look of dignity, hardly missing grandeur. A great antago nist was this man Chambon, a strong souL A Napoleon might look like that, after a faithful regiment had been annihilated to gain one lit tle rise of ground. . - The night's raid was no mystery to Chambon. This fact was plain in his face. But wild horses would never drag the truth from him, at this stage of the affair. This too was certaia aa the now-breaking dawn. . '.'.'; Virginia san toward Ned with V little cry. "Yon haven't found him." "Not yet, Heaven-Born." So spoke TFan. But Ned Holden longed to kiss the tear mist from her eyes. "Tell me the truth. I can stand it. Do you think he's still alive?" "If they had meant to kill him. they would have stabbed him while he slept "Perhaps they were bandits, tak ing him for ransom. Doesn't that seem likely?" s Her hand went to her heart, aa she waited his answer. To her this would .be the least terrible solution of the mystery. Kidnaping for gain she could understand ; any other ex- i planation would be too strange and sinister to contemplate. But she had asked for the truth, and Ned knew he must not deny her. - ' "No, Heaven-Born. The Khas are not bandits. They have done this through fear." He saw her wide eyes sink and narrow. "Fear of what?" "I do not know, yet They are a race of children, given to sudden panics over nothing. Perhaps Tuan could tell you." ?"I, TFan?" Chambon demanded. "I have never seen a Kha before this trip. Now call up your drivers, and we'll start at once for' Chieng khuang to get help from the French. ; They'll scour these- hills with troops." "And what will they find, lord?" ; Ned's tone was so grave that Cham- : bon stopped and stared. - "What do yon mean, T'Fan?" Virginia broke in. "The Khas. are a wild, strange people. If we drive them to panie with soldiers searching their vil-" lages, we will never see Griffin Tuan again. But if let alone, they will : keep him unharmed until their end is gained. We must wait till they ' make terms." f The light was clearing now so Ned went out to look for tracks in the dust of the road. At least fifty : Khas had taken part in the raid, and i about eight of them had led Griffin bare-footed, probably at the point of a knife, across the road and into the thickets. There the trail was lost.'. - : . As he searched, Pn-Bow watched u with a wooden face. Here was an- other who knew more than he cared ' to telL "It was yon who talked to the, Khas on the road," Ned snapped.! "Perhaps you can throw some light on last night's shame." "The shame was yours alone,", waa-the bold reply. "You are head man and protector of the camp. I have already told my masters the Khas words." . - Yes, I am headman." Ned closed his fist and examined the skin over the knuckles. "Perhaps you found it so last night" A Laotian baron, even though dressed as a coolie, does not care to be reminded of a blow in the face. His dark eyes caught fire and his hand dived under his jacket. But at Ned'i wicked little smile, the hand came out empty. f "Have mercy, lord," be mur mured, lowering his head. . "For the faithful dog, good bones and a soft hand," Ned quoted from the old Laotian philosophers. "For the jackal poisoned meat, lest he steal the slippers from the door. It may be, Pu-Bow. that you will soon be called again to interpret between the white man and the ivhas. (To be continued.)

This in ' spite of the government statisticians' prediction that the Oregon harvest will run 102,175 bales. ", -(.'.; Although the intense heat and unusually long drouth show up some slight damage on the Ore gon fuggle crop, the early and late clusters look fine.
