was in the shadow of the outer gate

Casting about, he discovered the sec

left, and started toward it, forcing a
way through a tangle of scrubby un-
dergrowth, weeds and thorny acacia,
but had taken few steps ere a heavy
splash in the river below brought him
up standing. with a humping heart.
After an irresolute moment he turned
back TO see for himself, and found his
apprehension only too well grounded;
the swordwide bridge was gone, dis
placed by an agency which had been
prompt to seek cover-though he con-
fessed himself unable to suggest
where that cover had been found
He gave it up, considering that it
were futile to badger his wits for the
how and the wherefore. The impor-

cut off, and Here he made a sec
