There were in reality two temples,
standing beneath grove OF i'm
mense oaks and surrounded on
three sides by the "Flower-waSh-
Ing River" When he entered the
main gate. Hanecy took the path
to the right. and presently stood
before the extremely beautiful
spot known as Master Tu's
Shrine"
It was a small temple. gem OF
architecture, set amid graceful
bamboos and lowering trees; the
courtyard was huge and ancient
garden. where orchids and the
more delicate magnOlias gave tn"
appearance of u jungle. Here and
there were arbors for visitors.
The entire place was In keeping
with it's poetical tradition, exQui-
sitely beautiful.
Hanecy, standing at the court
yard entrance, exchanged greet
ings with the old priest who ap-
peared. and asked for the abbot in
charge. The latter was away, but
the hOnze bade Hanecy enter and
make free OF the place until the
junior abbot could receive him.
To this Jim assented gratefully.
With sigh Of relaxation he re-
moved his hat. wiped his brow
and entered one OF the orchid
heavy arbors to seat himself. He
found himself face to face with
Toptit.

lies. had an extensive collection Of
jade and calligraphy. and was GER
tain that no ancient objects had
been offered for sale generally.
And thus the conference ended.
In the morning Hannecy went
forth carrying gun in the holster
under his arm. He could not de-
pend on Kiang's tong brethren
for too much. He realized that
Benson was playing a big game OF
some kind. and that II he fought
Benson he would be fighting some
powerful and dangerous allies.
Also, BenSon'S reference to the
disappearance Of Toptit worried
him badly. Hanccy liked this
Toptit. who made poetry and had
a 1knack OF ingratiating himself
with the natives, but he hardly
considered Toptit a match for the
astute Benson. The word "disap-
peared" had an omiuOus favor,
coming from Benson. Perhaps
that had been hint covert
threat.
"If anything'S happened 70 poor
Toptit. I'll make Benson sweat for
IT," thought Hanecy anGrily.

They would have the whole coun'

and would have no traffic with
Benson. The latter was notorious
as an enemy Of the BONES, because
of certain bare-faced robbery
perpetrated on a Shantung tenn
pie. Benson and his satellites
would keep away from Buddhist
centers.
Hanecy summoned a chair and
directed the bearers TO the temple
which stood outside the south
gate and across the Lo-han bridge.
