Prichard's glance turned from the scales on the
muggar's head to the girls face in wonder 1t was
difficult for an American to connect such repulsve
beast with so much beauty. If Hindu girl charm
dies young like an exotic flower, it IS perfect de-

of the best type.

containing the sacred elements of earth, fire, and

Such was the scene Prichard beheld as he stood at
the edge of the trong waiting for the dance of the
temple girls At his side was young native in semi
European Dress to whom he spoke in an undertone.

In a little the girls separated and moving to each
side, single figure discerned on the topmost
step before the image
''There There!' spoke Gupta Singh with sup
pressed emotion. That is Sovaratre!"
To Prchard she seemed more ethereal, more
wrathlike, than when he had talked with her in the
Court of the Algators. Perhaps it due to the
supernatural werdness of the whole mise en- scene.

urged the girl. Tonight l dance before the god,
and if Gupta Singh is fortunate it will be the last
time. So the Presence will come, will he not?'
The advancing note of deep vibrating bell
seemed to strike the girl with sudden fear perhaps
in being found talking with sahb. In any case she
glanced hurriedly round, and without ceremony of
leave taking quickly disappeared in of the side
galleries. As Prichard turned aside he nearly STUN

Presently from the
wings of the temple pro-
scenium a low thrum-
ming of stringed in
struments, pulsated by
the rhythmic beating of
drums, descended on
the expectant audience.
AS if suddenly awak-
ened, a light of antici-
patton flashed into
swarthy faces. A sound
approaching a wavelike
murmur rose and fell.
In the far perspective a
procession of Brahmans
the Lords of Creation,
in their own reckoning
passed across the in
ner stage and grouped
themselves round the
image, diminutive fig
tires in comparison.
Then a file of QUANTITY
CARRIED girls moved on
to the platform and
stood with their backs
to the audience. AS the
beat of drums grew
more impatient, the
girls began a swaying
movement of body and
limbs to the accompani-
ment of tiny silver bells
on ankles and wrists.
1t was hardly dancing
as we apply the term;
but for all that it pos
sessed a degree of fasci-

The long lashes
dropped over her eyes
as she inclined her head
downward. One of her
small hands fingered the
rich embroidery of her

At this point in her reminis-
cences, the aged mother broke

calling the incidents of the death
