He thought then of Yasmini's brace

It. He held up his left wrist and knew
that instant why It felt uncomfortable.
The bracelet had disappeared!
He turned back into the cave to hunt

him again. In spite Of the surround

Saunders swore 1t was, and her special

Ismail drove the hilt Of knife be-

AT last the guide halted, In the mid

''Thy caver" asked King.
"Nay. Gods! am the caretaker!"

The guide salaamed, half-mockingly,
at such eloquence,
paused in the passage to point into
the side caves that debouched to either

out Of the cavern. 1t was the last
King ever saw Of him.

It was impregnable: for no artillery

The tunnel wound to right and left
like a snake, growing lighter and light
er after each bend; and soon their own
din began to be swallowed In greater
one that entered from the farther end.
After two sharp turns they came out
unexpectedly into the glaze Of blue day,
nearly stunned by light and sound. A
roar came up from below like that of
an ocean In the grip Of a typhoon.

Beneath, SO deep that eyes could not

And out Of great, jagged slit In the
side of the cliff, perhaps Il thousand
feet below them, there poured down
Into thunderous dimness a waterfall
whose breadth seemed not less than
half mile. It spouted seventy OF

and Its din was like the voice Of all ere,
