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

face.

face enhanced by the mellow lamp-

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,

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

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.

"Honor bright. Dadl I never

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

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

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
