Perhaps it was Imagination only, but
the air felt different outside the walls !;
as though the sky had reeeded to its
normal distance from earth, leaving
much clear air and breeze In between.
The reason was more truly that the
fog had gone. Winter was down In
earnest
It was late the next day when they
reached the inner line of the Great
Wall. where arrangements were made
to join a merchant caravan on its
westward journey. Cons was the
sixth outfit in line. The head driver

the icy river road, and at Kalgan

Tartar hOrdes, but only lifting long
shadow across the minds Of its
builders.
For a number of days they skirted
the masonry beyond the King lakes,
now crusted with brown ice. Beside
the road, in the cracking marsh, one
trader in firearms lost his fortune
when his camel SHE'D. All his car
tridges were spilled and soaked, and
his lOng-barreled rifles rusted. He
diminished the caravan, turning back
eastward. The others pushed on

assurance that Shan-sung was some

on the trade routes.
Snow blew down, darkening the air,
and lining the camels' eyes with shin
ing drops. The foolish lips of the
beasts were pearIed with ice Every
length of stay-leather creaked with
cold. Up ahead, the caravan seemed
always moving off into the invisible.
The fields were white. Villages hud-
died under thin lines of smoke, but in
certain districts the swirling snow hid
every curved roof, and all the mud
was turned to stone.

call of love and unite their lives
They go to a small Michigan city.
where John finds work in a stove
factory and on Sundays writes
verses The Martins try in vain to
get the happy wife to leave her
husband. Mary begins to breathe
for two. John loses his job. He
appeals in vain to the Martins
Mary goes to the hospital and
never returns. Thus comes into the
story Cornelius Lexington. The
father leaves town and the city
farms out the child. After two
years the father returns and takes
his little son with him on his world
wanderings. The father becomes
the slave Of a mysterious drug,
koresh, with odors of wine and
cinnamon, and returns with little

is again farmed out, grows up in
the underworld and is saved for
better things by Andrew March.

small leather sack from Chez Ming,
the Chinese cook of an acquaint-
ance. This sack contains a Chi

is precious beyond price to Andrew

armed men in the Cobb had taken

The porter spilled out a glass of
brandy for him, keeping the bottle for,
himself, to. finish up later.
Lexington sat up shakily. This
movement brought a prickling sensa-
ton in his shoulder, and he funlbled
there. The tiny jabbing was repeated
under his clumsy fingers. Something
soft it was, too, a little tuft Of fea-

From far away. he recollected the
story of Andrew March, and the dart
from desert riders. A mate to that
swift, delicate weapon had been cling

None but Chez Ming could have blown
it in through the window. In sudden
panic, Con rummaged across his
breast, and discovered that the bit of
parchment was gone, the leather thong
alone remaining Chez Ming had en-
| tered the cabin and taken the map.
The black bag was overturned,
clothing upon the floor. The envelOp
containing Instructions to be opened at
Shan-sung, had already been torn open.
It mattered very little that its con-
tents remained safely enough. Lev
ington was too confused to read now.
There seemed no end to his failure.
The shock of his loss, and the reali
zation that he had been feather-strick-
en- by the Chinese, FASTENED the return
of full faculties, a painful process.
He threw off the feeling that weighed
him down, dressed as rapidly as he
could command fingers not yet COM
pletely controlled by his own will,
made sure that his money had not been
touched. and then fled from the ship.

and one can imagine it in any of the

the introduction OF touches of vivid
color in the embroidery. A long tunic
is box-plaited, divided at the sides
from waist TO hem and rounded at the
bottom. The back portion Overlaps the
front at each side and this feature in
the construction of the dress is brought
out by the ribbon border that finishes
the tunic about the edges. The bodice
is cut In the kimono style, with three
quarter-length sleeves, also bOrdered
with ribbon. An embroidered panel at
the front of the bodice provides a pat
tern that is repeated at the bottom Of
the tunic. 1t is a large pattern and
mainly in the same color as the dress
and its ribbon border.
The same ribbon is used for an in

slips under the ribbon border at each
side and turns into two fat loops that
make an unexpected and attractive
