CHICAGO, Aug: a.-itfVAlmost 1 H cents a bushel climb of Chi cago wheat ralues today resulted largely from fears expressed that Russo-Japanese conflicts mlgh draw other nations in. Late re actions, however, v virtually can celled gains.

THE STOLEN GOD By Edison Marshall CHAPTER XXV Griffin led the way into the cor ridor and to the door of the bag gage room. A soldier standing near by presented arms as the governor passed : St. Pierre gave him a per functory salute, then paused, looked . hard at the floor, and turned back. sergeant, nave yon and your men patrolled this building inside and out!" he asked in French. v "Yes, Monsieur le Governor." "Has any Urge parcel say sixty centimeters long, or more been taken out by any one! "No, Monsieur le Governor." "Very well." At Griffin's request. Andre handed St. Pierre the key to the door of the store-room. He entered first, and lighted the kerosene tamp on the table. "Is this all your baeeare?" "All our large baggage," Griffin - answered. "We have suitcases in our rooms." "How about your servants' bag a-fre?- "They have small pack-sacks and blankets. If the article von are look Ing for is sixty centimeters long macs aoout two leet it couldn't be anywhere in our outfit but right cere. .., fct, Pierre began his search. He looked in the trunks and all the larger crates, in case the Emerald Buddha had been transferred from its hiding place. His work was smooth and swift, and soon there was nothing left to examine but the stone bust Griffin had saved from the ruined temple, and the wooden Buddha grinning in the pale light, St, Pierre measured the bust with his eye, shook his head, then turned to the wooden image. - "An odd curio, that," he said, ta the electric stillness of the room. "1 thought it was worth keeping," - Chambon answered. St, Pierre raised it off the floor. "It seems quite heavy, to be made o wood." "I think It Is made of iron wood." "I would like to examine it more closely. It is large enough to conceal the object I am hunting for.", "Excellency, that is going too far." Chambon's eyes began to blaze. "We found it in an abandoned pa- - goda ; TFan and our other servants will swear to that. If you break into it to look for stolen goods, I shall certainly report the fact at once to your superior." St, Pierre nodded gravely. "I think I may be able to examine the ; image without damaging ft, Will one of yon please give me a hand?" Ned stepped forward, but Griffin f-ot there first, While the latter held the image, St, Pierre began to work with It, And Virginia would never . forget the ; picture the wooden . smile m the Buddha's face and the d'wn white faces peering down. - Presently St. Pierre discovered the fitting of the two parts of the i Idol, and began to unscrew the body from the base. No one breathed, it seemed that no heart beat, as he lifted off the upper part and set It cn the floor. The hollow was filled with stones. The Emerald Buddha had taken fiig-ht again. ' - No one gasped, no one breathed. But soon St, Pierre straightened tip, dusting his hands, ' "X am sorry that I have caused you this annoyance," he said with great dignity. "There is nothing here." "And I beg your pardon for pro testing," Chambon answered with a little bow. "X was too hasty in blam ing you fcr what I know must have been an unpleasant duty." It took a good deal to shake Ned H olden. lie was foster chUd of Asia, acclimated to the incredible East; and he knew the strange his tory or the merald Buddha. But again the facts had surpassed his wildest fancies. . There was nothing for him to say, nothing to do, nothing even to think. His head was as empty, save for useless rubbish, as the wooden shell before him. So he set his face like a wooden mask and shared the anonymity of the shadows'against thewalL But the governor spoke suavely, and led the way back into the lounge.

He had found no clue seen no j light, yet a mysterious excitement stole through his veins. boon be tracked it down and identi fied it It was simply the unconscious challenge that he read in Chambon's face. feeeing him there In faultless dress, the virile beauty of his dark face enhanced by the mellow lamp- ugni, rvea came to a new realization of his task, a new vision that was his last hope of victory. He only knew this: that he must no longer look at the ground, but into the sky ; no longer seek for little things, but for great things. Andre Chambon might be half mad, certainly he was a mystic and a zealot, but his dreams were mighty, -Exceliency. If that little matter is straightened out to your satisf ac tion, perhaps I can now let T'Fan sro to his own quarters," Chambon said without a trace of mockenr or tri umph In his tone. By all means," St, Pierre reDlied. -vicomte, it is still early: will you return with me to the Residence to finish our, coffee?" out cautmbon declined courte ously, and af ter a few minutes' chat, ou rierre took his leave. "Strange business, that." Cham. Don said, after be bad dismissed Ned. -IV Virginia turned her brieht raze. She- knew she must look and Listen in Ned's place. -What did it mean, Andre?" "The rumors T'Fan heard that t Emerald j Buddha has disanneared from Bangkok must be true. And you, Pere Griffin, were suspected of the theft," I Griffin's expression was entirely blank, but only his old poker cronies in St, Louis would have taken warn ing. "Since you knew better, Andre, why did you raise such a row about him searching out stuff?" I did not want him to see our curios, tie might have made trouble about them leaving the country. And when he discovered the secret open ing in the wooden Buddha I had failed to notice it myself I thought it mignt contain noly relics or other treasure X did not. wish him to find. Buddhist images often do, you know., But in this case some thief long ago had robbed the idol and substituted stones." I see," Griffin agreed readily. Probably the authorities have traced. the stolen Buddha into this country," Chambon went on. " "You, rere urion are a famous collector; it is auiU Dossible the thieve-, will approach you to buy it or to buy tn e sacred diamond from Its fore head. If so" 'Report to the authorities , at once?" Hot until we have talked it over. We may not with to become in volved." i Meanwhile Virginia took note of every conning word. But she was not repeued; stu she longed to help him, to save him from himself. She was Ned's spy, hut Andre's friend. And Andre could be more, if he would only try. So easily could he recapture his lost ground 1 What ever his project was, it had sprung zrom noble motives; she could sea it in his face and feel it in her own heart. But it precluded her and her ove. He did not ask for an hour alone with her. As she rose to go to her room, he made no sign to stop her. And soon he too sped away with a light pace and a rapt expression on his classic face. Griffin called Virginia to his -room. and there they talked more Inti mately than in long years. They must work together now. So Vir ginia told him all, skipping Lightly, pernaps, over the events between herself and Ned in the dusty li brary earlier in tbe evening. "I might have known von - iB- pected what was going on," she said. u i,naa remembered all mv feeble attempts to fool you at school " j firiSa chuckk4. "gome ot 'm heart seemed miraculously healed, as she crept into nis arms. "Honor bright. Dadl I never dared mention it til now, but I teas a little disappointed when you went in so hard for Oriental art, As much as I cared for Andre, I didn't Like to see him sweep you off your feet with hii own hobby." It was great fun mighty en lightening, too. America is going to deal considerably with Oriental countries in the future, and we've got to know more about them." "But you know why he wanted you to buy all those things ... So he could have them, after he married me." ;'' "I suspected he might have some such idea, and perhaps I did wrong? not to disillusion him." His eyes were twinkling. She felt her cheeks grow red. "Then what do you intend to do with that mar velous collection?" "It's for the museum in St, Louis a gift from the pork-packer, old Dan Griffin. I promised the curator so five yea rT ago." . Losing his grip; She ; guessed not I What a little fool she had been I : , It was fair dealing," Griffin went on. "Andre got a good salary for his expert knowledge, some knick- knacks on the side, and a rood chance to court my daughter. I never even hinted that the collection would go to him. And in the end he turned the tables -on me with this, business of the Emerald Buddha. I s'pose it was in his mind the whole time." - Again, the Emerald Buddha I She could not escape it, even in the shel ter of her father's arms. She would not try any more. "How's it going to turn out. Dad?" she asked quietly. "For you for Andre for Ned Holden?" How's it going to turn out for you, Virgimai" Griffin spoke gently. She managed a weary little smile. Ill pull through." "I'm fond of Andre too. yon know ... Perhaps I can understand anything you want to tell me." Ohehe ached to tell him! And It turned out easier than she had ever dreamed. The tangle in her mind unwound in simple words. ; Uur eneasrement is suspended already," she said. "It's just a mat ter of time till it's broken off for good. Not because I'm sure yet that he ' engineered the theft of tha Buddha, but Just because he has changed."..---,- . - .. '"But can you put him out of vour. life?". ; . . , . . It-was a rood ODeninr for Vlr-l ginia to dramatize herself, but she simply did not know how. I m not going around with a broken heart, if that's what vou mean. Of course. 111 never forget . him, and hell always be dear to me. But it wont be the blow it would have been three weeks ago.
