He was not certain whether it was the

The place where he was did not
look like cave, but a palace chamber,
for the rock walls had been trimmed

had been painted pure white, except
for wide blue frieze, with a line of
gold leaf drawn underneath it. And

sixty figures of her, no two alike.
A dozen lamps were burning, set in
inches cut in the walls at measured
intervals. They were exactly like the
two outside, except that their horn
chimneys were stained yellow instead
of red, suffusing everything in a golden
glow.
Opposite him was a curtain, rather
like that through which he had en-
tered. Near to the curtain was bed,
whose great wooden posts were
cracked with age. In spite of it's age
it was spread with fine new linen.

"Athelstan !"

"Athelstan!"
She pronounced his given name as
if she loved the word, standing straight
again and looking into his eyes. There
were high lights in hers that out
cleaned the diamonds on her dress.
"Your gods and mine have done this,
Athelstan. When the gods combine
they lay plans well indeed!"

simply, as a man speaks of the deep
things in his heart.

burning with excitement and mysti-
cism and ambition like fever. She
seemed TO take more than physical pos

Richly embroidered, not very ancient
Indian draperies hung down from it
to the floor on either side. On it,
above the linen, a man and woman
lay hand in hand, and the woman was
SO exactly like Yasmini, even to her
clothing and her naked feet, that it
was not possible for a man to be self
possessed.
They both seemed asleep. 1t was
minutes before he satisfied himself
that the mans breast did not rise and
fall under the bronze Roman armOr
and that the wOman's jeweled gauzy
stuff was still. Imagination played
such tricks with him that in the still
ness he imagined he heard breathing
After he was sure they were both
dead, he went nearer, but it was a
minute yet before he knew the woman
was not she. At first wild thought
possessed him that she had killed her.
self.
The only thing to show who he had
been were the letters S. P. Q. r. on a
great plumed helmet, on a little table
by the bed. But she was the woman
of the lamp-bowls and the frieze. A
life-size stone statue in a corner was
so like her, and like Yasmini too, that
it was difficult to decide which of the
two it represented.
She had lived when he did, for her
fingers were locked in his. And he
had lived two thousand years ago, be-
cause his armor was about as old as
that, and for proof that he had died
in it part of his breast had turned to
powder inside the breastplate The
rest of his body was whole and per-
fectly preserved.
Stern, handsome in a high-beaked
Roman way, gray on the temples, firm
Tipped, he lay like an emperor in har-
ness. But the pride ard resolution on
his face were outdone by the serenity
of hers. Very surely those two had
been lovers.
Both of them looked young and
healthy-the woman younger than
tl.irty-twenty-fve at a guess-and
the man perhaps forty, perhaps forty
ing had decayed, so that his armor
rested on the naked skin, except for a
dressed leather kilt about his middle.
The leather was as old as the curtains
at the entrance, and as well preserved.
But the woman's silked clothing was
as new as the bedding. Yet, they both
died about the same time, or how could
their fingers have been interlaced?
And some of the jewelry on the wom-
ans clothes was very ancient as well
as priceless.
He looked closer at the fingers for
signs of force and suddenly caught his
breath. Under the woman's flimsy
sleeve was a wrought gold bracelet,
smaller than that one he himself had
worn in Delhi and up the Khyber. He
raised the loose sleeve to look more
closely at 1t, and the movement laid

"Why didn't you take it with the
bracelet?' King asked her, holding it
out. "Take it now. don't want it,"
She accepted it and laid it on the
mans bronze armor. Then, however,
she resumed it and played with it.
''Look again!" she said. think and
look again."
He looked, and he knew now. But
he still preferred that she should tell
him, and his lips shut tight.
Can you guess why / changed my
mind about you-wise man?'
She looked from him to the man on
the bed and back to him again. Hav-
ing solved the riddle, King had leisure
to be interested in her eyes, and
watched them analytically, like a jew
eler appraising diamonds. They were
strangely reminiscent, but much more
changeable and colorful than any he
had ever seen. They had the battling
trick of changing while he watched
them.

She snatched mirror from a little
ivory table-a modern mirror-bad
glass, bad art, bad workmanship, but
silver warranted.
"Look in it and then at him!" she
ordered.
But he did not need to look. The
man ON the bed was not so much like
himself as the woman was like her,
but the resemblance seemed to grow
under his eyes. King was the taller
and the younger by several years, but
the noses were the same, and the
wrinkled foreheads; both men had the
same firm mouth; both looked like
Romans.

CHAPTER XIV-Continued.

Rewa Gunga spoke truth in Delhi
when he assured King he should some
day wonder at Yasminis dancing.
She became joy and bravery and
youth! She danced a story for them
of the things they knew. She was the
dcwn light, touching the distant peaks.
She was the wind that follows it,
sweeping among the jumpers and kiss
ing each as she came. She was laugh
ter, as the little children laCgn when
the cattle are lOosed from the byres at
last to feed in the valleys. She was
the scent of spring uprising. She was
blossom. She was fruit Very daugh-
ter of the sparkle of warm sun on

herself!
Never was such dancing! Never
such an audiencel Never such mad
applausei She danced until the great
rough guards had to run round the
arena with dubbed butts and beat
back trespassers who would have
mobbed her. And every movement
every gracious wOnder-curve and step
with which she told her tale was as
purely Greek as the handle on Kings
knife and the figures on the lamp-bowls
and as the bracelets on her arm.

And she half-modern Russian, ex-

And when the crowd defeated the
arena guards at last and burst through
the swinging butts to seize her and
fling her high and worship her with
mad barbaric rite, she ran toward the
shield. The four men raised it Shout
der high again. She went to it like
leaf IN the wind-sprang on it as if
wings had lifted her, scarce touching
it with naked tOes-and leapt to the
bridge with laugh.
She went over the bridge on tiptoes,
like nothing else under heaven but
Yasmini at her bewitchingest. And
without pausing on the far side she
danced up the hewn stone stairs, dived
anto the dark hole and was gone!

realize that it was a crime to steal
their time for which they received
good money. They forgot their sworn
duty to administer justice without de.
NAL or delay. Now 1t will be differ
ent. The American Ear association
has spoken and their voice must be
heard and obeyed., They have con-
demned the delays and technicalities
of the judges and the writing of long
winded decisions which consist main
ly of stuffing and padding. The pur-
pose of every decision should be to
state the facts. and, the law with the
utmost simplicity and clearness.
There should be no padding or discus
sion of side issues or points which
do not affect the merits of the case.
In 1913 at the session of the Ameri-
can Bar association held at, Montreal,
Canada, Mr.. Justice ,,Riddell of On
tario made an address in which he
said: l fnf In some of the United
States there is great deal of O5jec-

Under proper rules our courts can
proceed with as much efficiency and

that they are in any way inferior to
those in Canada. Last January l

approval of the other judges but so
far we have had SO much absence and
so many delays that we have not

uncommon to see our courts waste
half day instead of half an hour on
the trial or examination of jurors or
of persons called to serve as jurors.
And on the trial of case the counsel
waste half the time Ry making need
less objections and exceptions which
should no longer be tolerated. 1t
should be known that courts will not
try cases on objections and excep-

We must amend the rules so that
every case will be tried on its mer-

charged with the supervision, with

that justice is administered without
