She was pulled TWO ways. II she an
swered the summons pundita might
take advantage of her absence and kill
herself. Again. it might be the help
for which she had called.
Instinctively she snatched up the
fallen dagger, ran to the door. peered
out cautiously. and recognized one of
the revolutionists. who had LEFT the
house but an hour or two since. She
flung open the door.
'.Pundita?" cried the man.
Winnie caught him by the sleeve and
dragged him into the chamber
just in time. The distracted Pundita
had pluclled another dagger from the
wall, and the man stayed her arm even

She stepped inside and slammed the
door. holding it and feeling about in

Evidently the lions had halted out

them shifting at the doorsill. If they
leaped she was lost. for she could MT
