snapped the high nervous tension
which had sustained Amber He was
now on the edge of collapse and
showed it plainly. But two circum-
stances aided him to recover his grip
upon himself: Quains compassionate
consideration in fOrbearing to press
his story from him. and Doggott's OPP
perfume appearance with pot of
coffee, steaming and black. Two cups
of this restored Amber 10 a condition
somewhat approaching the normal.
He lit cigarette and began to talk.
For all his affection for and con
fdence in his friend. there were
things he might not tell Quain; where
foro no couched his narrative in the
feWest possible words and was miser-
" Of detail. OF the coming of the ba
bu and his going Amber was fairly
free to speak; he suppressed little if
any Of that episode Moreover, he
had forgotten to remove the Token
from his finger, and Quain instantly
remarked il and demanded an eXp!a-
nation. But of the nature of the err
rand on which he was to go, Amber
said nothing; it was, he averred. Rut-
tons private business Nor did he
touch upon the question of Ru:ton's
nationality Sophia Farrell he never
mentioned
Nevertheless, he said enough to
render Quain thoughtful.
You've set on this thing, l suprOse?'
he asked some time after Amber had
concluded
Set upon it, dear man? I've no
choice must go-I promised"
Quain went 10 the hammcck-bed,
turned back the sheet. and for several
minutes fingered there, scrutinizing
the stony, upturned face.

"Labertouche Why? You don't
know him"
NO; but Rutton did. Rutton got
that poison from him"
Quain whistled. his eyes round.
Did, Ell? So much the better; he'll
probably know all about Rutton andll
take keener interest"
But you forget"

And to this Quain held inflexibly;
so that, in the END. Amber, unable to
move him, was obliged to leave the
matter in his hands
\ sullen and portentous dawn hung
in the sky when the little party left
the cabin.
Between two sand hills the Bengal
lay supine, a huddled heap of garish
color-scarlet, yellow. tan-against
the cold bluish-gray of snow.

Quain, Amber and Doggott went on a
little distance, then, by mutual con
sent, halted within sight OF Antoine.

"Right-O," agreed Quain. His
hand sought Ambers "Goodby, and
God be with YOU" he said huskily.
Amber frightened his clasp upon the
mans fingers Il can't improve on
that, Tony said he with feeble
"Goodby, and God be with you" He
dropped his hand and turned away.
Come along, Doggott"
The servant led he way baywards.
Behind them the angry morning blaz-
ed brighter in the sky.
in the sedge Of the shore they
found a rowboat and launching it,
embarked Tor the power boat, which
swung at her mooring in deeper wa
ter. When they were aboard the lat
ter, Doggott took charge Of the motor,
leaving to Amber the wheel, and with
little delay they were in motion.
AS their distance from the shore in
creased Amber glanced back The
island rested low against the flaming
sky. a shape OF empurpled shadows,
scarcely more substantial to the Wis
ion than the rack of cloud above. In
the dark sedges the pools, here and
there. caught the light from above
and shone blood-red And suddenly
the attention Of the Nirginian was ar
rested by the discovery of human
figure-a man standing upon a dune
top some distance inland, and staring
steadfastly after the boat He seemed
of extraordinary height and very thin;
upon his head there was a turban his
arms were folded While amber
watched he held his pose, a living
menaCe-like some fantastic statue
bulking black against the grim red
dawn.
