Instantly the firing ceased: on one
tide because there were no more car
ridges, on the other for fear Of hitting

suit necessary.
Kathlyn struggled between the ele
Dhant which carried Ramabai and Pun
iita and the boat or barge which hel,

mahout. terrorized, had slid off an,
laken to his heels ingloriously. Thu
Ramabai could do nothing to aid kath

Cmballa was quick to see his ad

Colonel raised his rifle and aimed a

She was his again; he would have tn,

He realized then that Kathlyn's fu
lure depended upon him alone. Tn
Colonel was broken man. SO h

The soldiers drew Kathlyn into tn

Quickly he snatched of the turban c

began to bandage Kathlyn's arm.
