was a slight break in his voice as he
replied, "He has offered his life.

"Yes, may the gods protect him."

questioned, "The forei"gn healer, lose

Culver shook his head sadly. "No.

The Oriental looked sympathetic.

Tung Yang shook his head.: Then,
tilttng -it sidewise, smiled' blandly and
eXpeetantly, waiting km Culver to
continue.
"As you say, news even the best,
travels quickly, and word of Paul's
aevard evidently reached china with
lightning speed, for he immediately
received a congratulatory' cable from
Prince dr.soo in which he requested
that Paul accept as a token' of older
China's appreciation- the famous
sacred ruby of -the Chow dynasty.",
"Eh!" For an ,instant the bland
civility of the man dropped from him.
Amazement and incredulity' held him
dumb.

Culver walked from one to another
of the rare, beautiful furnishirms,
touching each piece softly as if afeaid
of awakening harshly the slumbering
past. He smiled tolerantly, and per-
haps a little cynically, as he stood
before the household god, the God of
Wealth. The rising incense evinced
that homage had but 'recently beeff

deity. Ile' ran, his hands over the
teakwood furniture and felt he was
greeting old friends. Instinctively
his steps paused before the Goddess
of Mercy. Here also incense was still
being 'offered up, 'and the goddess ac-
cented the homage as stoically and
unnioved as the race who worshipped
her, But now memory sharp and
quick cut.into Culver's reveries. A
tiny grave back in the hille of China
cast a daike sinister blot over the
pleasant musings. Grief ha'a enclosed
him tightly in her dark cloak, yet a
ray of light had penetrated and beck-
oned him back to the land where joy
and grief had locked hands. Irma

request and return to the Eaet if but
to say farewell to the past Relief

througle him as Tung Yung appeared
in the doorway, closely folio -wed by
a servant carrying a tray.
The Chinaman bowed. "1 hake the
liberty of asking the foreign healer
to drink tea with me. It gines great
pleasure to see your pleasure." And
he waved his hands significantly: to-
wards the treasures spread so lavish-
ly about. • •
Culver's bow was Almost Eastern
as he 'replied: "You have -done one a
great service, Mr, Tung Yung, in
showing me this wonderful room of
yours. This glinithse- of the East has
decided ,me ,to seetChina once more
before I die." , -
Tung Yung waiced confidential over
tea, telling Culver he too would Very
soon return to China, but not to stay,
though, he, added., "No, no, business
here too good tor. that." However,
his own affairs didn't occupy hint too
Mach to -prevent .hirn asking Culver
pointed and' peesonal ,questions., The
latter, believing himself a connoisseur
on the Chinese mind, answered un-
reservedly and goodniumoredly.
"Now for antidote" exclaimed
Tung Yung, when the servant had -
carried away, the tray 'of empty
dishes.
"I suppose You have it concealed
here as a weapon of defence for your
collection?"
Tung Yung replied by a shake of
the head. He was carefully moving
his fingers along the under edge , of
the small teakwood table at which
they were sitting, and the crease be-
tween his brows betokened he wen not
doing it for a pastime. Culver watch -
him curiously as he repeated his
finger movements several tinees. Bend-
ing his head, the Chinaman inspected
closely the top edge of the table.
Then taking a 'small magnifying glass
from an inner pecket he peered
through it. AlMost instantly he
emitted a grunt Of satisfaction. Turn-
ing to Culver he explained, "This
table is a perfect deception."
Culver nodded, secretly wondering
Id his host were developing madness.
"I will have to trouble you to move,
Dr. Culver. The glass tells me I am
working on the wrong side."
"Certainly," assented Culverhrising
and moving to one side.
