THE POOL OF FLAME
Continued from Third Rage
CHAPTER xxxV.

In after days, when he was alto
sether we'll and whole, they iourneyed
forth, these two, the man and his
wife, from Rangoon northward. The
railway carried them some distance;
later they struck OF with their train
into the primitive wilderness beyond
the ultimate British outposts on the
Chindwine, main tributary to the IT.
rawaddy.
The land was peaceful, hospitable,
and very, very lovesy in its wilder
ness. Their happiness was ecstasy.
By day they rode through jungle,
wood and rolling uplands, or less easi-
ly through the Businesses OF the hills,
side by side, thought linked to
thought, their hearts attuned. By
night their camps were pitched in
new-found world of beauty, wonderful
in It's shadowy mystery.
1t was so ordered that they came,
toward sundown Of a certain day, to
the foot of hill crowned with great
pagoda of many multiplied roofs firing
ed with a myriad silver bells that
tinkled ceaselessy in the evening
airs. :.
Here they dismounted and together
made the ascent Of an age-old wooden
stairway, broad and easy, and throng-
cd from the first rise to the last with
weary pilgrims, beggars. lepers, laugh
ing children, mendicant holy men. The
sun was low upon the horizon when,
having bribed their way along that
gauntlet, ORourke and his bride (she
could never be aught less to him) at
tanned to the topmost platform and,
having received permission, with meet
show OF reverence entered the temple.
It was very dark inside and for a
time they moved blindly IN and out;
but at length they came to massive
doorway looking toward the West, and
here they paused, hand in hand, look
ing up to the placid face Of a huge
Buddha, who squatting cross-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through the
incense-scented gloom ceaselessly for
ward to Nirvana.
The figure, carven originally from
stone, had been so heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by the devout, that
now II had all the semblance Of being
gold to its core; and, lavishly deco
rated with necklaces and bracelets of
rare Jewels set in crusted gold, in the
evening glow it shone like some great
lamp OF holiness. Only its face was
in shadow.
Slowly the light struck higher be-
meath the caves Of the pagoda, and
slowly 1t crept up and yet up, until its
last blood-red shaft revealed the Bud
dha's forehead and what was set
therein, a monstrous ruby.
The woman gasped family and
clupg tightly to her husbands arm.
He held her close, watching the great
stone fame and throb and pulse, like
a pool Of living fame swimming in
darkness.
And then the light of the world
went out
Pensively in the dusk they descend
ed the temple staircase. At the foot,
before they remounted their horses.
the woman came to the man and put
her hands upon his shoulders.
Terence" she said, 81 think am
very weary. Take me home"
He gathered her into his arms.
"I think" she said, 'it frightened
me-mada me fearful Of this country
the Pool OF Flame, up there"
"Ye've seer the last Of IT," he said
tenderly. and so have /. lis done
with. Ike the daTs C ne adventur-
ings. have no rtought but you, dear
heart Let us &c home"

published articles to the effect that
at the recent meeting of the Demo
cratic editors in Denver, C. B. Ward,
in the course of speech said he
would be a candidate against Gov.
Shafroth for the U. S. senate. The
papers were misinformed. Mr.. Ward
did not say positively that he would
be candidate. In fact he said he
was not seeking any public office,
would not run for the senate only
on one condition and that was if
Democracy was not united in the fall
election, he would then be a candi-
