elghteen years ago, Andrew March

MS Elthna, and that in some such nm
molly quarters off to the southwest her
child had been born. These Mongoloid
youngsters did not seem human.
They stared at him without uttering
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
information. The last had gone the
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 envelop
given him in the March house. He
never knew how much pure fiber he

The fact that the village was against
him did not depress Lexington, as it
must formerly have done. Now he
had to sustain him the assurance OF
his own country that he had been
chosen, that men of power trusted
him. The second day he found himself
quite generally ignored in the stony
ghost of city, although the old woman
and her two sons continued to accept
his silver for food and a roof.
Late in the afternoon of the third
day, when his patience was waning,
a camel outfit appeared to eastward.
1t could not be his prodigal driver.
Con went forth to show himself. He
was done with Subterfuge, and the
village offered no concealment, had he
wished to hide. There were half a
dozen men in the approaching party,
or, on a closer look, two men and
their servants, all bobbing nearer on
camels.
Chez Ming was heading tie outfit.
He sat under a tapping sunshade.
His dry face was unchanged, al
though his soul became curse
against the western youth who had
persisted. He hated the steadiness of
Levington's eyes and the half-smile,
remembering the brutality of his mus
cular equipment, but most of all he
longed to blight the power and pene-
tration of Cons brain. Yet, so far as
the countenance indicated, when he
regarded his white enemy below him,
Chez Ming might have been in the
act of serving coffee at Cecil Wedger's
elbow, instead Of riding a shaggy
beast in these outlands of Mongolia.
But the master of the other outfit
was a white man. Beneath q sloping
Chinese straw hat, the face was gray
and strong and touched with sadness.
Con answered the greeting Of Andrew
March.

"You share a federal commission

"Chee Ming brought large quantities

Lexington knew that his hands were
trembling. He read this final instruc-
ton again and again, until every
nhrase was unforgetable. Much of his
friend came to him from the page, the
worldwide significance of his errand
in this treacherOus land. Con was
humble before the trust of Great
America. He burned to do well. The
matter of koresh. the deep gray curse,
was not at all clear to him. He had
an uncomfortable suspicion that ne
knew the stuff.
Afternoon was frightful with dust
and sun-glare. Night came colo, yet
not in the nature of relief Con

and cracked like chip between MS

tho ashes from his lips, and found
himself staring at nothing, while the

he discovered that his boy had gone

preparations for a journey of many
weeks. He included with the usual
stores several lunches of dried meat,
hard as bone; also leather sacks to
go over the head when the hail of
gravel in the wind should cut too keen
~ across their faces. At present he
filed these bags with cheese. His wea-
pons were of the finest, and this SEEM
ed odd to Lexington, who knew his
mild ways. Andrew March seemed
changed, older, more stern, in these
preparations. The dart that had drug
ged Lexington on seabOard seemed to
have struck an unhealed spot in
March's SOUL This border-land held
bitter memories. His eyes had mar
rowed, as though he felt from dis
lance the biting dust. He resisted the
emotions that preyed upon him, and
the only sign was an eagerness to be
near Lexington, to have Con talk to
him. The old magnetism by which he
held the younger man was unconsci-
ously renewed a vital current of more
than friendship.
Next morning the two servants of
Chez Ming were seen to ride eastward
upon a single camel, taking leave of
a master who needed them no further.
At noon the Chinese, with pack-beastS
in tow, set forth alone into the west.
"He wants us to follow him." said
March, "and if we did, all the maps in
the world wouldn't help. Time enough
for us this evening""
So when the western sky was spat-
tered with flame, and long violet shad-
ows stretched out upon the sands,
Commissioner March and Commission
er Con Lexington laid their course
according to map, and proceeded into
the sunset. The camelS had taken
their last long gurgle at the water
hole in the village, trampling the
rushes and all was well.
The two drivers muttered, or held
silence, with none of the usual talk.
The broken city fell into the distance
behind them, and the shadow of the
camels extended out through the dust.
The purple shafts were melting into
twilight, and the Sha Mo became an
indefinite number of sandy knobs still
| bright, seeming to rise UP from the
desert floor.

drivers in secret activity. 1t rather
looked as if they were trying to get
away with the camels. A gun cracked,
and March turned sharply to see Con
sitting up from his blanket, his carbine
smoking. He, too, had been watching
the preparations. He had shot in the
air, but both the yellow men fell face
downward upon the sand. March went

gold, gave them two big draws at the
