CHAPTER XIX.

Long the lady who dreams gazed
down at the playing waters. At
last, with a sighed MY poor dog"
she arose. The passing Of Torres
had meant nothing to her. Accus-
toned from girlhoOd to exercise
the high powers of life and death
over her semi-savage and degene-
rate people, human life, per Sc, had
no sacredness to her.
If life were good and lovely. then,
naturally. it was the right thing to
let il live. But if life were evil,
ugly and dangerous to other lives,
then the thing was to let it die or
make it die. This, to her. Torres
had been an episode, unpleasant,
but quickly over. But 1t was too
bad about the dog.

a few minutes later, guided by
the woman. Francis entered the
chamber and was left alone. He
was not in a happy mood. Fine as
had been his giving up of LeOncia,
he got no pleasure from the deed
Nor was there any pleasure IN
looking forward to marrying the
strange lady who ruled over the
Lost Souls and resided in this weird
lake dwelling.
Unlike Torres. however. she did
not arouse in him fear or animso-
ity. Quite to the contrary. Fran
cis's feeling toward her was large
~ that of pity. He could not help
but be impressed by the tragic
pathos OF the ripe and lovely wom-
an desperately seeking love AMI a
mate. despite her imperiOus and
cavalier methods.
At a glance he recognized the
room for what il was, ana idly
wondered if he were already con-
sid"red the bridegroom. sans dis
cusSion, sans acquiescenCe. sans
ceremony. In his brown study the
chest scarcely caught his attention.
The Queen, watching. saw him cyt-
IDENTIFY waiting for her. AMI, after
few minutes, walk over 20 the
chest.
He gathered up a handful o.
gems. dropped them one by one

strOlled over to examine J:te IeOU-
ara SKINS on her couch.
Next he sat down upon il. Obltvi-

All OF which was provocative OF

Yet she startled him by emitting
q hiss similar to the Latin way
of calling a servitor. He regarded
her suspiciously, glanced at the
doorway to the sleeping chamber,
then returned his gaze to her.
Like a ghost, seeing 1t only
vaguely out OF the corner of his
eye, the, great white hound erupted
through the doorway. Startled
again, Torres involuntarily stepped
to one side. But his foot failed to
come to rest on the emptiness OF
air it encountered, and the weight
of his body toppled him down off
the platform into the water. Even
as he fell and screamed his despair.
he saw the hound in midair leaping
after him.
Swimmer that he was, Torres was
like a straw in the grip OF the
current, and the Lady Who Dreams,
gazing down upon him fascinated
from the edge Of the platform, saw
him disappear, and the hound after
him, into the heart Of the whirl-
pool from which there was no re-
turn.
