RISEN FROM THE DEAD
Dagger huddled down in her
chair, crushed, unbelieving, at
Chang'j startling wordi. Two awift
step, and Chang was beside her.
"Drink this," he commanded,
and she obeyed him.
A moment and her falntness bad
had passed.
"Do you mean that, General?"
she pleaded.
"Yes. He was with me until a
few weeks ago. He escaped out of
Russia through Siberia. One of my
patrols on the Mongolian border
found him, delirious, starving. For
tunately, the officer in command
' knew him. After he had recovered
sufficiently he was brought to my
cam?, and told me his story. He
had been unhappy, and when he
was taken prisoner by the Ger
mans he decided to 'die He ex
changed identification papers with
m dead man and became that man.
After the German revolution he
escaped into Russia. But that Is a
long story, which he will tell you,
himself, perhaps."
"If I ever find him," cried Dag
ger. -Why didn't you teU me this
before?"
Chang's eyes chilled.
"A man must fight for his own
hand," he returned implacably.
"You had believed him dead. For
all I know he may have ceased to
love you if he ever did."
"He never spoke of me?" she in
quired piteously.
"He spoke of a wife whj did not
love him, and of his unhapplnesa
He read in a newspaper that hla
wife had married another man, and
said that at last fate was on his
side. He was dead, and he would
remain dead."
Dagger shivered. To have come
so close! And then have missed.
But instantly her thoughts returned
to the practical.
"Where is he?" she demanded.
"Where has he gone?"
The Tu-chun shrugged his shoul
ders. "To his own country. A man Is
happier with his own people, even
if he be 'dead.'"
"If you had told me that first
day," she rebuked Chang. "By now
I might be close to him."
"You have searched for him
long," the Tu-chun remarked philo
sophically. "What are a few weeks
more? If it is fated that you will
find him, you will find him. If it
is fated that he will love you, he
will love you. If fate wills neither
" the narrow eyes flashed "re
member Chang has a destiny for
you. No mean one."
Dagger could only look at him
reproachfully, and he shrugged
again.
"A man takes what he can, my
dear lady," he said. "Do not be so
disturbed. And by the way, treas
ure that lucky-piece I first sent you.
It enjoys a notable luck. I picked
it up in the Sung-fu market when
I was a green boy of sixteen. A
month later I committed my first
successful robbery. In a year I
had my own band. It has been with
me ever since. I give it to you in
hope that it will work as well in
your favor."
"But yourself?" protested dagger.
"You should keep It. And you have
given me so much."
"So little compared with my de
sire," Chang replied. "No, please
favor me by keeping it at least,
as an earnest that I wish you well
in your quest."
He clapped his hands, and the
young officer who had received her
strode out upon the terrace.
"Your car is waiting, Mrs. Va
' neeriiw." the Tu-churi went or
courteously, "and I do not like to
keep you out too late. Should you
see Mr. Howard, remember me to
him cordially. I shall be delighted
to see either or both of you again
particularly, yourscir."
He bowed.
"I I I must thank you," ex-
, claimed Dagger. "After all, you
nave been kind. You meant well
"Oh, quite well, I assure you," he
vlofnrd. "In a selfish sense, of
