Coarse food, winter air, and the long
hours Of camel-swaylng had darkened
Cons cheeks. His mittened hands
helped with the wood-gathering at
camp-time, or chopped the Ice for tea
water, but the men of the caravan re-
garded him us a stranger, II they no
decd him at all. Friendllness was
winter-bound. The Kalka partner
alone made speech. Lexington kept
his feelings to. himself. and set his
teeth. He was lean as a Tartar, and
was constantly on the verge Of a fever.
Snow rose to the camels' knees, and
then. In the third week Of travel,
thawed generally over North China.
The going was slow and monotonous.
Here was said to be grazing country.
but obviously the herdsmen had never
prospered with their skinny flocks.
At Sin.chen, through welter Of stain
ed snow, the rear Of the caravan, three
parties, turned southwark, heavy with
rice and salt that grew more precious
at each days end. They were carry
ing on to the province Of Origu, seat
Of wretchedness. Now at Sin-chen
another party was waiting for the only
remaining group with Con to join
them. These two outfits. with that Of
the white man. continued over
northerly road, and the mud was a
drag at every cameTs foot.
"You take saints?' finally inquired
the Kalka.
He wanted to know whether or not
Lexington was Christian missionary
to far Shnn-sung.
, "No." Con shook his head.
Half an hour later, the Kalka re-
sumed: "You sell-nof'
Nothing to SELL" answered the
white man.
Here their talk ended for that day.
Late In February the wind changed,
and the SHOWS were ended. The mud
dried and lifted In dust. Con realized
that tomorrow morning his compan-
ions, the two outfits of gun-traders,
would 90 on northward. to find their
customers In those choking hills but
that he would not be with them. The
Kalka warned him a l1t time. being
now quite fluent with "No good"
J AT daylight It became clear that both
outfits considered him a fool. With
his one servant, Con remained behind.
and not an arm was raised in farewell,
not q face turned toward the white
madman. When their dust had blown
away In the west wind and their little
line was reduced by distance to a
mere crawling thing along the edge
Of hills, Lexington turned, to find his
driver weeping.

The servant moaned, and hid his
face.
Cold weather made II appear that
the clouds Of heaven avoided this part
Of the world. The sky was always
pale. Lexington gambled on his final
instructions. Twenty times his fingers
stole into the bag to touch the torn
edges Of bis packet. and withdrew
again. Andrew March had trusted
him. He had Ave pack-animals, and
two saddled. There was grain to last
