CHAPTER XIII.
The Ape Repays.

When he Wakened some time later
his first link of consciousness was that
the altar-fire was out, the air changing
and he knew without looking that
Helen was no longer on the other side
of the wall. The same green twilight
suffused the top OF the tunnel. He re
called as from months ago how the
party of dwarfS had drawn aside to
permit him to pass on into this maze
below the palace. Con wondered
vaguely If the whole world were
honeycombed. Then he managed to
rise, and his feet at first were like
diving weights.
Nothing less than his Intensity of
emotion lifted him up the notched
barrier again. His arms were shaking,
his eyes dim. Again the greenish glow
in his face. The chamber was empty
now, save for one drugged mandarin
lying full length in his blue robe, one
gaunt arm touching the floor. The
altar was dead, and only an oppressive
feeling ia the air remained of the
kOresh. The wooden door at the
further side was not quite closed.
She had come down to this pit OF
royal iniquity because he was making
her unhappy. Con knew this. She

Needless of the sleeping Chinese, he

The exertion seemed to bring back his
strength. The space at the roof OF
the tunnel was small. He slid through

near the altar. The yellow bowl, too
was gone. The bowl of jade gave an

closed after him. He stumbled upon
the lowest step of a stairway. The
stones were wet and worn A feeling
of oil was about the place. He began
to ascend, carefully, taking no reckon

draw, the great master passion. Per-

would have questioned himself, per.

he was burning inside. He lost count
of the ascending steps. He had no
thought OF bravery. Presently another
door at the top, another iron ring.
More important than any material
surroundings was the fact that he was
making her unhappy. At first he had
felt secret exultation because of the
confession. It measured the POSSIBLE

LBy Don Chamberlain, United Press
Stuff Correspondent
CHICAGO, June 19.-United States
Senator Robert La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin, has been approached by delega-
ton of liberals with view TO sound
ing him on the prospects of joining a
third party movement and becoming
the party's standard bearer in the fall
election, it was learned here today.
La Toilette, it was stated, has made
no answer The delegation, it >as
said. saw the senator at a hospital in
Rochester, Mimi. .... -.
The delegation did not press their
question. They went away leaving
La Toilette to think it over.
That La Toilette is considering, IA
vorably, the idea of going with the
third party, is the view taken by po-
litical observers as result of an an
nouncement here by liberals that
working alliance among progressive
organizations in Wisconsin" has been
completed. These organizations are
said to be the Wisconsin Non-Partisan
league. the Equity league, Wisconsin
socialists and other liberal organizar
tons.
nQlCaIlVe OF LQe SIduQ WHICH Aldy
be taken by the proposed third party
were plans of the committee of forty
eight to give wide circulation to reso-
lutions adopted at q state convention
of that party in Minnesota last Satur-
day.
The resolutions urge the committee
of forty-eight to join with other liberal
organizations in establishing new
national political party. The aims OF
the labor party and the committee OF
forty-eight read the resolution given
out here today, are so similar that 1t
may reasonably be expected that the
two bodies will unite on platform and
candidates, thus launching a new
party whose program, from the hour
of its organization will be backed by
millions Of people.
Our people. educated, enlightened,
and selfdetermining, cannot be ex-
Ipected to vote the old national party
tickets. We must have national
means Of expression. We, the COM
mittee of forty-eight, must help create
the new party"
