that it would take no less than ten
years to bring about this miracle. And
the villagers fell down with their fore

Seven awe-stricken women came for

swept the dust from the jewel with the

a shiver of delight over her. She was

down. 1t was a bone; in fact, the floor
was strewn with bones She quickly
discerned, much to her relief, that
none of these bones was human. This
was, or had been, the den of the lion.
There was an acrid, unpleasant odor.
Vaguely she con1prehended that she
must keep the fire replenished from
time to time in order to pacify the two
holy men. At night it would fend off
any approach of the lion.

he was rushing out OF the Kumar's
presence, wild to be off toward the
road to Allaha, since Kathlyn had not
been seen upon it He found where
Ratah had veered off into the jungle
again, and followed the trail tirelessly
But it was to be his misfortune always
to arrive too late.
To Kathlyn the day passed with
nothing more than the curiosity Of the
natives to disturb her They brought
her cotton blankets which she arranged
in the sarcophagus. There were worse
beds In the world than this; at least, 1t
shielded her from the bitter night wind.
She ate again at sundown and buildad
high the sacred fire and tried to plan
some manner of escape, for she did not
propose to be a demi- goddess any
longer than was necessary. From
Pundita she had learned many words
and few phrases in Hindustani, and
she ventured to speak them to the
holy men. who seemed quite delighted
They could understand her. but she
on her part could make little or nothing
of their jabbering. Nevertheless, she
pretended.
Finally the holy men departed, after
having Indicated the sacred fire and
the wood beside it. This fire pleased
Kathlyn nightly. When 1t burned

Bv and by she peered out cautiously
She saw the lion crossing the open
space between the temple and the
jungle. She saw him pause. bend his
head. then lope away in the direction
taken by Rajah.
To Kathlyn il 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 its 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

profound slumber.
