Her admiration for the writer made

CHAPTER xxxv.

In after days, when ne was alto
gether we'll and whole, they tourneyed
forth, these two, the mar and his
wife, from Rangoon northward. The
railway carried them some distance;
later they struck off with their train
into the primitive wilderness beyond
the ultimate British outposts on the
Chindwine, main tributary to the Ir'
rawaddy.
The land was peaceful, hospitabler
and very, very love.y 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 q
new-found world of beauty, wonderful
in its shadowy mystery.
1t was so ordered that they came,
toward sundown of certain day, to
the foot of a hill crowned with great
pagoda Of many multiplied roofs firing
ed with a myriad silver bells thai
tinked ceaselessly in the evening
airs.
Here they dismounted and together
made the ascent of an age-old wooden
stairway, broad and easy, and throng'
ed 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 thai
gauntlet, o'Rourke and his bride (she
could never be aught less to him) at

grasped his support convulsively, be-
ginning to appreciate how seriously
he was hurt. He heard as from great
distance thin, faint cries of men shout
ing in triumph; saw Couch, pygmy
shape, holding in his arms a doll who
wore the face of Miss Pynsent. Then
of a sudden he was conscious of a
woman fastening toward him, fan
tastic and incongruous figure in din
ner-gown, her skirts trailing in the
slime of the shambles, her arms out
held to him; and knew her for his
wife.
He essayed to speak, but could not.
He felt her arms close about him. In
the face of the searchlight's penetrat'
ing and undertaking glare, night
closed down upon him.

talned 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 bllndly 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 gquatting cross-legged
upon 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-ieaves by the devout, that
now it had all the semblance Of being
gold to its core; and, lavishly deco
rated with necklaces and bracelets oi
rare jewels set in crusted gold, in the
evening glow it shone like some great
lamp of holiness. Only it's face was
In shadow.
Slowly the light struck higher be
meath the caves Of the pagoda, and
slowly it 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
clung 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.
