from men, too, since 1t lay in the alb

Now she determined to inspect the
istsrior Of her new home. The sun.
still In the south, lighted the interior
Of the first apartment. 1t was sim
liar to those Of her experience-thes same
beasts and men were depicted in the
same crude fashion in the carvings on
the walls--evdently there had been
little progress in the race of Waz don
during the generations that had come
and departed since Kor-ul- eryf had
BEEN abandoned by men. OF course
Pan.at.lee thought no such thoughts,
for evolution and progress existed not
for her, or her kind. Things were as
they had always been and would always
be as they were.
That these strange creatures have
existed thus for incalculable ages it can
fctrce be doubted, so marked are the
Indications Of antiquity about their
dwelings-deep furrows worn by naked
feet In living rock; the hollow in the
,amb Of a stone doorway where
many arms have touched In pass
Ing the endless carvings that cover,
oittimes, the entire face of great

every cave and each carving wrought
BY a different hand. for each is the
coat. arms, one might say. of the
