For the first time since the extraor-

Ahmed had taught her. She rose wear

cooked his ears at the sound Of her ap-

A rumble as OF distant thunder. and
the storm died away.
By and by she peered cautiously
She saw the lion crossing the open
space between the temple and the jun

head, then lope away In the direction
taken by Rajah.
To Kathlyn it seemed that she had
no longer anything to do with the body
Of Kathlyn Hare. The soul Of another
had stepped into this wearied flesh of
hers and now directed it's physical
manifestations, while her own spirit
stood gratefully and passively aloof.
Nothing could happen now; the world
had grown still and calm. The spirit
drew the sleeves of the robe snugly
about her arms and laid Kathlyn's
head upon them and drew her down
into profound slumber.
Half a mile to the north Of the
ruined temple there lay, all unsus-
pected by Kathlyn, a village-a vii
lage belonging solely to the poor, most

poor in Asia know but two periods of
