AND at the same time in her own
way she was considering Lexington,
whom she trusted, hated, feared, adj
mired-she could not define her feel
ings. Whenever he spoke to her all
the images of her dreams were shat
tered. and neither he nor she was
abashed by it. She lived over the mo-
ment when he had dared TO come to
her apartment had bent over her, his
strong arms trembling, and every ut
terance straight from his heart. The
beating of her heart must have told
him that she was not asleep, and yet
she would not have opened her eyes
for the world.
Soft rugs were spread for her, but
the tent was not raised. Violet mists
gathered in the SOUTH like a memory
of Tau Kuan. Helen was a little way
off. He saw her arms appraised her
body swaying. He sped to her as she
fell upon the sands.
"We will go back, if you say"
But she was limp in his arms. A
soft gray pallOr overspread her face,
deepest about the eyes. He carried
her to the rugs, and knelt beside her.
Water was touched to her forehead.
She opened her eyes.
'Has it been too much? Shall we
wait here or turn back?"

CHAPTER XVI.
HeIen's Ordeal.

Helen, in ner great heaviness of
heart, stared down at nothing. Flu
All gave up the task of comforting
her, at the request of his sister, who
rode close beside the princess. Fansa's
attention was in fact sorely di-
vided between the marvelS of an I'M
known world and the sorrows of her
mistress. The MOngolian driver showed
Lexington into the lead, and the white
man was alternately alarmed and joy
Gus. He looked back often, and his
nerves crawled each time he fancied
puff of dust in the south.
His best friend was gone, where
he had wished to go. Con saw what
had been in Andrew March's mind
when he told of the seed-poison that
leaves no dream behind, only a stilled
body. Con was not holding that against
his friend. The quiet investigator,
who had weathered so much, whose
worldly grasp had seemed so strong
and sufficient, had been broken when
his illusion failed, woman waiting
for him, but in another world. Just
now, LeVingtOn's deepest hurt was TO
recall what he had seen in the devo-
tional chamber underneath the pal
ace, his princess in the same fragrant
thrall. Her father had come and gone
by strange laws.
Helen seemed to live in a dull
tangle of pain. She rode with eyes
closed. Training prescribed thoughts
of her father, the affectionate stranger
who had mastered the path to her lof-
ty city. only to meet ruin in the yellow
mans form of sleep. The shock of his
death brought a heaviness that was
uncomfortable, a new destiny dropping
down about her like a cloak. But
oddly, the images that passed before
her vision were not of Andrew March.
He was but the background
She was thinking of Chez Ming, the
brutal marks upon his head in that
last moment, his dignity in rage, the
magnitude of his defeat. Pictures of
his kindness came again and again
how patiently he had taught her, how
he had brought for her the pretty
things of the world. Once he had
laughed outright when golden butter
fly had wandered in at the window and
rested upon his nose.
