Lexington was nngry with himself
for having slept, for he had Intended
10 spend the night hours In finding
some chance OF escape, and now, In

than before. He could not accept the
lmpossibility OF such a task. for his
thoughts ran continually upon plans
for flight.

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 In
the claims OF antiquity. and esoteric
history. But Its plans and purposes
meant nothing 10 him. He had no de.
sire TO aid IN blending the races OF
the world, particularly not at the com
mand OF his Chinese enemy. His heart
was Western and demanded freedom.

fertile valley when he heard footsteps
and the soft Jingle OF bracelets. A

again. Her cheeks were brown and

His first impulse was 20 send her
away at once But II occurred TO him
that this would not only hasten his
own demise but probably bring heavy
disfavor upon the maid. She was kiss

that the Tower Of Babel had not re-
suited In such marked difference
between English and Arabic speech.
Yet II she had known his language, his
task would have been no easier. Con
meant no dlsrespect, he almost felt
Inferior TO her, but simply he did not
want her.
The Arab girl went into his apart
ment TO await him. The best he could
do was to remain on the roof. sit

sldered the odds.

The white man on the roof was lone

And something about the far cry of
the walf brought TO him bitterly the
fact of Tau Kuan's isolation. 1t was
folly to think OF escape.

American horses have been OF

for working capacity and other
qualities compare favorably with
those of other parts Of the world.
In some districts the quality OF
the animals bred has been of ex

the use of purebred sires and the
care taken in developing the
young animals. Racing, either.
professional. or as pure sport,
has been carried on in many parts
Of the United States for long

duced have always shown to good
advantage when placed in com.
petition with animals from other
parts of the world. The United

conditions and the skilled horse
