Perhaps the peculiar halting person

Lexington followed him over the un.

asleep. hissed against rocks, and at
moments burned their ankles. BY the
flying dust the sun was diminished to
n far red-hot grlddle. Con could not
look at his friend for the hurt 1t gave

such a quick fascinating manner: or
laughing with voice like the cry of

phantom Shast stood at moments on
