Three elephants were necessary.
There were two howdah elephants and
one pack elephant, who was always
tagging behind. Through long aisles OF
magnificent trees they passed, across
hot, blistering deserts, dotted here and
there by shrubs and stunted trees, in
and out OF gloomy defiles Of dlnty
rock, over sluggish and swiftly flowing
streams. The days we're hot, but the
nights were bitter cold. Sometimes a
blue miasmic haze Settled down, and
the dry, raspy hides Of the elephants
grew damp and they fretted at their
chains.
Rao, the khitmatgar Kathlyn had
hired in Calcutta, proved invaluable.
Without him she would never have

country; for these wild-eyed Mahom-

BY THE POOL OF THE LOTUS
Thoughts Of Inmates of the Harem
Not Always Pleasant, Despite
Surroundings of Beauty.

The best of all in this embroidery OF
running water was the square pool
that lay in the midst of the zenana,
for the bottom Of it was carved into
the image of huge and many-petaled
lotus flower, all of one block of white
marble without flaw or stain, and the
petals seemed astir when the clear
crystal passed flowing over them. And
at each corner of the lotus, complet-
ing the square, we're triangular panels
of delicate water flowers, and through
the water the carnelian and the agate
and the jasper of which they were
fashioned shone strangely with vivid
CLEANS.
All around the pool of the lotus used
to sit the flowers Of Shah Jehan's gar
den of girls, and there is no pool on
earth that has reflected the image
of such beauty. Often did the pearl
lily, the chief flower and favorite of
the harem, sit there with unsandaled
feet, waiting for the summons of her
lord, and sometimes a cloud would
pass over the image of her face re-
fiected there when she considered that
soon her loveliness would pass and
her beauty be marred by the wrinkles
of the shriveling years, and desire
would fail, and long after her lips had
crumbled into dust and her soft limbs
had been laid underground for the
worm and the red ant to fatten upon.

After that they gave Kathlyn's dog

One day, in the heart of natural

and leaves were as scarlet as the
seeds OF pomegranate.

Rao?"

About the tree darted gay para
keets and fat green parrots. The green
plumage of the birds against the bril-
liant scarlet Of the tree was inde-
scribably beautiful. Everywhere was
life, everywhere was color. Once, as
the natives seated themselves Of the
evening round their dung fire while
Kathlyn busted with the tea over a
wood fire, a tiger roared near by. The
elephants trumpeted and the mahouts
rose in terror. Kathlyn ran for her
rifle, but the trumpeting Of the ele-
plants was sufficient to send the
striped cat to other hunting grounds.

Kathlyn arrived at the city.
Five hours later Kathlyn stepped
out of her howdah, gave Rao the
money for the mahouts, and looked
about. This was the gate to the capi-
tai. How many times had her father
passed through it? Her jaw set and
her eyes flashed, Whatever dangers
beset her she was determined to meet
them with courage and patience.
