had been so wonderful a magnet to
his spirit. He was glad he had ans
wered the draw Of this remote treas
ure-land. In other circumstances he
would have been deeply interested II
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
mando Of his Chinese enemy. His heart
was Western and demanded freedom.
Twilight had deepened across the
fertile valley when he heard footsteps
and the soft Jingle Of bracelets. A
slave, leading a girl, approached him.
The maiden's robes were but wells.
Her eyes were not covered but were
intently regarding her new white
master. Fear was written there, and
fascination. Her breathing was trem-
ulous. The slave withdrew, and the
girl cried out Mt being left alone,
averting her glance. Con did lot
move, and presently she looked I'D
again. Her cheeks were brown and
smooth, her lips red. She was nearly
as tall as himself.
Its all right" he said, meaning
well.
His first impulse was to send her
away at once. But 1t occurred to him
that this would not only hasten his
own demise but probably bring heavy
disfav0r upon the maid. She was kiss.

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 vas steaming up, obscuring the
low hills that marked the western
boundaries Of Tau Kuan. The gray

bench for his share. He grabbed up
a biscuit, but was Is disappointed as
Con had been. There vas no salt in

scalding, and the tobacco was sun
gold from Tartary.
hadn't you better go home to
b~reakfast?" suggested Lexington.
The little beast did not think so.
He stared at the white man, his beady
bright eyes seeming to express a mute
warning, with centuries of regret.
When the gray boy had taken away
the dishes. Con stretched and renewed
the process Of wondering. His nor
NAL powers of thought, that had been
snatched away in surprise and fatigue,

himself, to quicken his own American
identity. He smiled to think of him.

and saw Chez Ming.
"You are condemned" said the
Chinese.
Il guessed it. But why?"
You have come to Tau Kuan, en-

pies. 1t was folly, and should never
have occurred. But in Tau Kuan they
are again united. Here is the perfect
empire. This sacred city is older than
the Tower of Babel. All the other
states of Asia, when the Cobb was not
a desert, rushed into that folly. OF
all the world, only the Monzoul Of Tau
kuan had wisdom. Tau Kuan alone
did not enter into that confusion.
Tau Kuan alone has remained holy
and fertile. You have seen the fate
that befell the others. They are but
tombs forgotten. beneath a sea of
cursed sand. Here only are green
things. and pure. Here only is the un-
broken tradition Of light. 1t is a
small thing to die for Tau Kuan. when

die?"

why the delay?'
"YOur white blood is to be preserv-
ed"
"How do you mean?"
BLENDED" replied the Chinese,
A Arab maid of purest strain will
come to you. When her child is born,
you work Is ended. But we do not
wait for 1t to he born. Two moons
shall suffice YOU"
The American was caught by sur
prise, and the cool statement of
head arrangements left him speech
less. Chez Ming turned about and de-
parted.
Lexington paced the root in his anger
at the fantastic injustice. From the
words Of his enemy concerning Tau
Kuan he began to understand some
