She goes to the Oriental's "Tempe of I'ruth." CHAPTER IV From within the "Temple' of Truth" came the tinkle of bells and the wailing of "pipes. } "Well, at least this is free," Christine' said aloud, "and after all, he gave me my start on the Boardwalk." 2 She slipped inside. On a stage designed to suggest all the mystery of the Orient, two slim girls, dressed as temple dancers, were gyrating and pros- trating themselves as if before an unseen a presence. A deep gong souned, and they scurried from -sight, From behind a screen of grillwork that simu- lated delicately carved white 'mar- ble, a'shining figure in silver robes appeared as if by magic, He moved majestically forward and stood for a moment, his arms crossed on his chest, his dark face lifted as if waiting --. listening, Then he intoned in a deep, vibrant voice, "Thy servant is ready, O Krishna! Speak through these un- worthy lips." ER For a while Chandra's perform- ance was much like others Chris tine had attended. He described small objects, gave the numbers of license cirds, the insignia of "lodge emblems, and the dates on letters which an assistant in =a white turban took from people sit- ting here and there and held, ap- parently without glancing at them, ~pressed "against his. own forehead. He read and answered questions without having seen or touched the cards on which they were written: "A lady wishes to know about a ring. ... Yes, I see it clearly --an emerald set in diamonds. . . . She thinks a maid stole it." Suddenly the strapge eyes in the dark face fixed them- sclves upon a stout woman near Christine. "No, Madame, she did not take it. You should have looked more. carefully," Chandra went on sternly, "before you accused a helpless..servant of such a crime, Why, Madame, did it not occur to you that the ring might have slipped through that rip in the lining of your purse?" rr 4 "Why not look now?" Chandra suggested, Then, as the woman hesitated, he almost thundered "Look now, Madame, and be thankful' that it is not too late to . repair the mischief you have done!" ) The woman fumbled in her purse, cried out--a bit too sharply, Christine thought -- and held aloft something 'that glittered with green fire, . "Oh, I am so sorry about that girl," she stammered. "I--<I don't know how to thank you, Swami," "Do not thank me, Madame," Chandra told her., "It is the great god Krishna you must thank." "The great god -- my foot!" Christine thought derisively, "And that stooge's acting "was terrible." All around she heard murmurs; | "Isn't the swami marvelous?" , , . "He told my sister who--"", . . "and it happened the very day he sald it would)" » % 9 Then abruptly, in the midst of a sentence, Chandra broke off, pressed his fingers to his eyes, and sald---a startled note in his deep, somnolent voice, "But this must wait, . .

Behind Christine a voice said, "I: never saw him do anything like this before. creeps." " It gave Christine the creeps. > Whether it was deliberate trick- ery with the illumination or not, all "the light in the room seemed to gather itself about the glittering figure on the platiorm. "Within the Jast 24 hours," Chandra went on, "this young lady. has encountered a series of surprising experiences. She has met with a grave disappointment; she has, by a. strange coincidence, unexpectedly found work. when she most needed it." » » » No one in the roont seemed to breathe -- least of all Christine, "During the. last 24 hours," the "swami" was going on, "this young lady has also received a mysteri- ous telephone communication con- cerning something very nears to her own safety, which I fear she has already decided to disregard." "But," Christine thought with a sickening clutch of premonition, "why---he can't mean me!" : She did not know whether she moved, or even spoke the words aloud. In any event, there was a sudden craning of necks. "I must ask for quiet!" Chan- dra'sivoice crackled, "You will, if you please, keep your eyes on me."

"That is all, my friends," he said, "Go in peace!" He raised his arms in what was almost a gesture of blessing; and ~ the audience filed obediently out.
