Something tells me you will be a

save perhaps Il gypsy people," And
even as she spoke Esther recalled the
scene in the grand stand at the tourna-

CT had warned Arthur that he had
been betrayed.
At this %juncture a carriage drove up
to Stanley hall. From this a strange

glistening white tropic helmet. This

both Esther and Quabba to reassure
