THE STOLEN GOD r - By Edison Marshall II CHAPTER XXVII Ned knew that he alone must save Kch-Krn. It was always so with the great works of his life ; the gods carrying souls from wbrld to world, from cradles to death-beds at the appointed time and place, had dropped his along the way. There was no path that led home, no hand to clasp his. If Griffin were here, he would ' stand by him to the finish, but be was undressed and asleep by now, and Ned dared not wait to summon him. The little catfooted Annamese, Pai-La i, was not in reach, and the French soldiers could not leave their posts. A light still burned in Vir ginia's window, but this was man's work tonight, and besides, she could not wield Ned's sword and at the ame time hold Chambon's shield. C -m .

"Friend, my master has sent ' me to bring Tuan Chambon a UTT Jtl . . . - uow am yoa anow ne was . beret" "I had it on the word of a passerby." And while he played for time, Koh-Ken could escape. Then Ned would get word to Griffin to back up the ruse . . . . - It was the best plan he could lay, en the spur of the moment, but grad ually he came aware that Fate had planned otherwise. There was no such tranauQ endins? for this nie-ht'a strange events. Not far from the white gate a street light glimmered, only a lan tern hung on a pole easting a dim Vellow rirrla en the tmA Fur tmm Inexplicable reason, Ned stared at it in imwiy-giuienn. are a a. mere was something sickening about that little pale hole in the night. It was na though it were a stage set by the dark powers.... - . remaps irwas only a trick of his tormented magination. A white man like him must not believe in premonition. But even as he con-' vineed himself, the thing, came true. There was a shout in the black ness' beyond, and then a thud. So cruelly clear was his inner eye that he knew instantly the story behind those sounds: Koh-Ken leaping the wall, and his dry old bones strikW the ground.- But now he was up, .running toward the light, -Ned knew it by the nearins sound of Kia footfall, frantic fast on the, hard ground, and the swelling clamor of his exits.' ;t " . -;'' .

A V-shaped patch of white showed at his breast, All this Ned saw as -he ran. And now the killers were running too, swallowed up by darkness, leaving a huddled form under the lantern. In a moment more Ned was crouched in the road, holding Koh-Ken's shud dering breast against his own. ' uia on am Don order this work?" Ned asked verv onietlv.

"I see you are a chief." The po liceman now spoke softly. "Could it be ye two were friends?" Ned locked his jaws and listened to his own heart. He waa now om inously cool, kit head grimly clear. This was his own war. He had no intention of sharing it with native police officers. Anyway, his hands : vere not yet free 1 No, not free even now. No use to argue, curse, or plead. Koh-Ken lay : dead at his feet. His blood was on Ned's own breast. But fate, moving i through his own steadfastness, still bound him to the quest of the Em- ! erald Buddha. - - Ned had been raised in the Orient. In the back of his mind lingered the I echoes of strange things told him i long ago. Koh-Ken was dead but : death was only a curtain in a long corridor, and sometimes the wind blew it aside. Koh-Ken'a lin wr dosed, but as Ned stared at them wiui nis sunken eyes, he could un- : agine that he heard them whisper- : ing. "1 tpUl tcoif, my ton, in patience, tUl the appointed tatk is done." ; Yes, old Koh-Ken would wait. . . ! Often his master had come home at i dawn, to find him sitting up with ! last night's dinner kept warm and : ready. ... Ned nodded to some one I in the darkness the native could : not see, and the drama swept on.' "I, a friend to a Siamese dish washer?" he answered the officer. "But he was my master's servant, j and when he did not come to his bed, I went to seek him., I would not have my lord lose face, so I tried to scare away the footpads with my pistol." ; , "So they were only street ban- ; -its?

Go now and report to the ser- gean. at our oarracks, telling him ' how auicklv I came at tha inniul at the shots. I will remain with the dead." i ; Ned obeyed, and soon was allowed ' to return to the bungalow. At once he wakened Griffin and told him'th f story in a few brief, blunt words. ."Good God, what next?"

"But it couldn't have been Andre yon saw at the edge of . ine ugnc xmo matter wnat else he s has done, he would never count. ; nance murder." "It wouldn't be murder. In his ' eyes.
