Attacks Work Of Land Board.

Alleging gross mismanagement of

CHAPTER vII.-continued.

"Yian-l have lived therc-and
loved there. When the breath of my
body shall cease. when the dragons
claw shall fade from my arm" he
tore up his sleeve, and We saw white
crescent shining above his elbow
when the light of my eyes has faded
forever, then. even then ! shall not
forget the city of Yian. Why, II is my
home-mine, The river and the thou
sand bridges. the white peak beyond
the sweet.scented gardens. the lilies,
the pleasant noise of the summer wind
laden with bee music and the music
of bells-all these are mine. Do you
think because the Kuen-Yuin feared
the dragons claw on my arm that my
work with them is ended Do you
think because Yue-Laou could give,
that l acknowledge his right to take
away Is he Xangi, in whose shadow
the white waterlotus dares not raise
its head? No, No" he cried vio
lently, 1T was not from Yue-Laou. the
scorcerer. the Maker OF Moons, that
my happiness came, 1t was real. It
was not n shadow to vanish like a
and give a man the woman he loves?
Is Yue-Laou as great as Xangi then?
Xangi is God. In His own time, in His
infinite goodness and mercy. He will
bring me again TO the woman love.
And know she waits for me at God s
feet"
In the strained silence that followed
| could hear my hearts double beat
and I saw Pierpont's face blanched
and ptiful. Barris shook himself and
raised his head. The change in his
ruddy face frightened me.
Heed" he said. with terrible
glance at me; the print of the
dragons claw is on your forehead and
Yue-Laou knows it. If you must love,
then love like a man, for you will suf-
fer like a soul in hell, in the end.
What is her name again."
'Ysonde," I answered simply.
