Dust had wiped out every color.
Sand flew in the air, but the wind was
steady and silent. The seven women

tressing to remember that once, about
eighteen years ago. Andrew March
had Travelled into this border-land with
his Eithna, and that in some such un-
holy quarters off to the southwest her
child had been born. These Mongoloid
youngsters did not seem human.
They stared at him without uttering
a sound, and flung mud. Con felt no
triumph in his arrival.
No traveller had passed this way for
sixteen moons. Lexington spent the
afternoon in learning this fag-end of

other way, eastward, probably Chez
Ming on his way to America, but by
no possible combination Of sound and
sign could Con make sure of this.
Eagerly, now, he opened the enyelop

Late in February the wind changed,

driver weeping.
"Did you want to go along?"
The servant moaned, and hid his
face.
Cold weather made it appear that
