CHAPTER vi.
THE rEMPLE OF THE LION.

THE TEMPLE OF THE LION.
4 N the blue OF night the temple looked as though it had
been ~sculptured out of mist. Here and there the
heavy dews, touched by the moon lances, flung back
flames Of sapphire, cold and sharp. To Kathlyn the
temple was Of marvellous beauty. She urged Rajab
toward the c~rumbling portico.
Tt was a temple in ruins, like many in Hind. Broken
pillars, exquisitely carved, lay about, and some of the tall
windows Of marble lace were %punctured, as if the fist Of
some angry god had beaten through. Under the decayed
portico stood an iron brazier. Near this reposed a cracked
stone sarcophagus: an unusual sight in this part Of the
world. It was without its Id. But one god now brooded
observation-disclosures. Not a sound anywhere, not even
from the near by trees. She saw a noiseless lizard slide
ierkiIy across a patch Of moonshine and dissolve into the
purple shadow beyond.
What was this temple? What gods had been ~worshiped
here? And why was it deserted? She had heard her
father tell Of the ruined city Of Chitor. Plague2 .
Kathlyn ~shuddered. Sometimes villages, to the last soul
in them, were brushed from ~exiatence and known no more
TO man. And this might be one of them. Yet indications
of a village were nowhere to be seen. It was merely a
temple, perhaps miles from the nearest village, deserted
save by proving wild beasts, tho winds, the sunshine,
and the m~oonshine. She looked far and wide for any signs
Of human habitation.
She commanded Rajah, to kneel So held by the en-
chanting picture was Kathlyn that the elephants renewed
restlessness (and he had reason, as viii be seen) passed
unobserved by her. He came to knee, however, and she
got out OF the howdah. Her legs trembled for q space, for
her nerves were In d pitiable condition. Suddenly Rajahss
ears went forward, he rose, and his trunk curled angrily.
With a whuff he wheeled and shufied off toward the jun
Gle out Of which he had 30 recently emerged.
g Haiti cried Kathlyn. What had he heard? What
had he seen3 Haiti" But even as she called the tall
grass closed in behind the elephant What water and
food she had disappeared with him. a
She paused by the brazier, catching hold Of &c for sup
port. She laughed hystericaliy: it was SO funny; it was
all 30 out Of joint with real things, with everyday life as
she had known it. Weird laughter returned to mock her
astonished ears, q sinister echo. And then she laughed az
the echo, being lip the grip Of q species of madness In
the purple caysrns cf the temple she suddenly became

no one exactly knew, though the Holy Man had not been
backward in claiming 1t was due to his nearness to the
god Vishnu. ...., ..-r
They followed him eagerly to the. temple. What they
beheld transfxed them. A woman with skin Ike the
petals of the lotus and hair like corn sat in the sacred
sarcophagus and braided her hair, gazing the while toward
the, bright SUN. " >4s -a
The intake Of many breaths produced a sound. kathryn
turned instantly toward this sound, for q moment expect
ing the return Of the lion. Immediately Holy Man and
villagers threw themselves upon the ground, striking their
~foreheads against the damp clay. The alien spirit still
ruled the substance; Kathlyn eyed them in mild astonish-
ment, not at all alarmed. :"
All" shrilled the Holy Man, springing to his feet.
" Al! She is our ancient priestess, rising from her tomb
De centuries! Al, all o, thou unholy children, to doubt
my word! Behold! Henceforth she shall share the tenn
pie with the lion, and later she will give us prosperity,
end my name shall ever be in your households" .
Having secured a ~priestess, he was now determined that
he should not lose her. The future was roseate indeed,
mad when he took his next pilgrimage to holy Benares
they would bestrew his pathway with lotus flowers.

The villagers few to obey his orders. He was indeed
Holy Man. Not in the memory Of the oldest had q
snsiTac1e such as this happened. Upon their return with
wood and embers the Holy Man built the fire, handing a
lighted torch to Kathlyn and ~signifying for her to touch

peoale meant her no Immediate harm, SO she stepped out
