CHAPTER Viii
The Princess,

Lexington was angry with himself
for having slept. for he had intended
to spend the night hours in finding
some chance Of escape. and now, in
daylight. he knew no more of the city
than before. He could not accept the
impossibility Of such a task, for his
thoughts ran continually upon plans
for flight.
Breakfast arrived-fruit and tea
and brown biscuit, with the added
courtesy Of cigarettes in an ivory box.
The round-headed gray negro squatted
nearby while his master ate, and Con
wondered how many kinds Of blood
were mixed in his heart.
The roof was blue with morning
shadow. The city seemed to lie chiefly
on the opposite side of the palace, out
of Levington's view, for only a few
poor houses bordered the edge of the
fields he saw to westward. A white
fog was steaming up, 0bscuring the
low hills that marked the western
boundaries Of Tau Kuan. The gray.

bench for his share. He grabbed up
a biscuit, but was as disappointed as
Con had been. There was no salt in
1t. But the tea was fragrant an;
scalding, and the tobacco was sun
gold from Tartary.
Hadn't you better go home to
breakfast?" suggested Lexington.
The little beast did not think so.

bright eyes seeming to express n mute
warning. with centuries Of regret.

his spirit. He was glad he had ans

would have been deeply interested in
the. claims Of antiquity, and esoteric
history. But its plans and purposes
meant nothing to him. He had no de-
sire to aid IN blending the races of
the world, particularly not at the COM

was Western and demanded freedom.
Twilight had deepened across the
fertile valley when he heard footsteps
and the soft Jingle Of bracelets. A

Yet if she had known his language, his
