CHAPTER xlv-continued.


Rewa Gunga spoke truth in Delhi
when he assured King he should some
day wonder at Yasmini's dancing.
She became joy and bravery and
youth! She danced story for them
of the things they knew. She was the
dcEn light, touching the distant peaks.
She was the wind that follows IL,

Never was such dancingl Never

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-cuIve and step
with which she told her tale was as
purely Greek as the handle on Kings

Richly embroidered, not very ancient
Indian draperies hung down from 1t
to the floor on either side. On it,
above the linen, man and a 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 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 a wild thought
possessed him that she had killed her.
self.
The only thing to show who he had
been were the letters s. p. @. 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 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 and 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
thirty at guess-and
the man perhaps forty, perhaps forty
five. Every stitch of the mans cloth
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 interlacedf
And some of the jewelry on the wom
ans clothes was very ancient as we'll
as priceless.
He looked closer at the fingers for
signs of force and suddenly caught his
breath. Under the woman's fiimsy
sleeve was 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 it, and the movement laid

she resumed it and played with it.
'Look again!" she said. think and

He looked, and he knew now. But
he still preferred that she should tell
him, and his lips shut tight.

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 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 little

silver warranted.
'Iook in it and then at himI'' 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.
