"You are what is called an
adeptg"
''some may call me that" said
Silva, but Incorrectly. Among
my fellow Saivas, am known as
a White Priest, n yogi, a teacher
of the law"
MIR. Vaughan was your pupil?"
Yes; for six months"
"In what way did you come to
accept this position?"
Two years ago. Mr.. Vaughan
visited the monastery of our order
In Crete. He was at that time
merely student of Orientalism.
and came to us from curiosity.
But his interest grew: and after
a, year spent in studying the holy
books, he asked that a teacher be
sent to him. There was none at
that time who could be spared !;
but six months ago, having COM
pleted a task which had occupied
me In Paris, ! was assigned to
this"
DO you always go to so much
trouble to secure converts?" ques-
TONED Goldberger. a little cynic-
ally.
! Usually we require that the
period of study be passed at one
of our monasteries. But this case
was exceptional"
I'm what way?"
ut was our hope" explained
the yogi, calmly, that Mr.
Vaughan would assist us ID
spreading the Great Truth by en-.
downing monastery for us In
this country"
All! and Goldberger looked
at him. Did he agree to do so?
"He did" answered the yogi
still more calmly. This estate
was to have been given to us for
that purpose, together with an en-.
dowment sufficient to maintain
1t. Mr., Vaughan himself hoped
to gain the White Robe and be.
come a teacher"
What was to become of his
daughter"
1T was his hope that she would
become priestess of our order.
Goldberger looked disguised foi
a moment and then continued his
questions. The yogi explained
that he had spent the night of the
murder in contemplation, as il
was the White Night of silva. Up.
on being further questioned he
! said that his attendant had also
: spent the night In contemplation
, as the White Night of silva was
also the Black Night of Kali"
What do you mean by that?'
Goldberger demanded.
"Manbub Is of the cult of Kali
! who is the wife of Siva," said the
yogi, touching his forehead reyer
emily as he spoke the words. "Ht

it on the table In front of Gold

Miss Vaughan knows. He arrived
with his attendant about six
months ago; and since then
things have gone from bad to
worse. 1t ended not only in Mr..
Vaughan's becoming a convert to
whatever religion it is the yogi
practices, but in a determination
that his daughter should become
