for there was light in the large room
where she found herself, and now that
she could look about her she saw
dozen or more girls and Young women
standing in small groups few PAGES
behind the negress- They surveyed
the new arrival curiously. but with
different expressions. Some seemed TO
pity her. others smiled as If TO well
come her. one good 1po.sing girl had
noticed that had no shoes. and her
lip curled contemptuously at such a
proof of abjeet poverty. for she herself
was the daughter Of a prosperous Cau-
casian horse thief who nad brought her
up in plenty and ease N order that she
might fetch a high price.
The negress surveyed her critically
by the light of the large bronze lamp
that stood on a stand beside her. and
showed her sharp teeth in an approv-
ing smile. that made her thick upper
lip roll upward on itself She took
the cloak from Zoe's shoulders and
scrutiniZed her half clad figure till
she blnshed red. Then the daughter
of the caucasian horse thief laughed
rudely and some OF the others Uttered

Zoe's bare arms and neck to judge Of
their frmness and OF the general con

was tolerably satisfactory. for the
woman nodded and grinned again As

one man. the reigning Emperor An

cruel, very far from bloodthirsty. but
when she thought Of him she felt that
She woula kill hin If she could, and
that II would only be justice. Suddenly
a ray Of something Ike hope flashed
through her darkness. Nectaria had
told her how beautiful she was; per-
haps, being so much more valuable than
most Of the slaves that vent 70 the
market, she might be destined for the
emperor himself Il was just possible.
She set her teeth and clenchad her
little hands in the dark If that should
be her fate. the usurper's days. were
numbered She would free her country
from its tyrant and be revenged for
Rhangabe's murder and for all the rest
