CHAPTER Xxx.

lG1I anu SHADOW - clear,
palely golden light with the
keen edge of mountain air
in it; shadow damp and fetid like
dungeon dusk, or richly dark like
broad strips of black brocade laid
lattice fashion athwart pools of
motionless or moving color. Odors
of hot bread, vegetable refuse and
the sweet shavings of aromatic
woods piled ankle deep in the open
shops of carpenters. All the
sounds of a close-crowded city
where braziers hammered their
hand-beaten wares, flax heaters
pounded their flax, potters' wheels
whirred, saws droned and peram-
bulating water carriers and sellers
of grape syrup uttered their
hoarse, monotonous cries.
Sights, smells, sound-they as
sailed Cassandra like a myriad
little hammers knocking upon her
consciousness. Where was the
vision-the wind of happiness and
attainment that had gone by her
like breath from some benefcent
Olympus?
Hair called cameleer, seek
ing passage for his lurking loaded
beast.
Thump! Thump! the sound of
pounded fax.
Baa-a-a!

poured out more wine and drank
again. A dull, rising glow touched
his cheek bones and he stood up
also.
II don't care if it's hopeless or
not. It's a fght-a fight against
Rome"
He refilled the terra-cotta wine
cup he had drunk from, split
little of the contents deliberately
upon the matted floor, drank down
the rest and cast the cup against
the farther wall so that it broke
into several pieces.
''If any god exists, let them
bear witness that I'll touch no
more wine until I've slaked the
thirst of a sword with the blood of
Roman mercenaries"
His voice was louder than usual.
It vibrated. His dark, well.set
head was flung little back. IN
consciously he had the air of some
thing brought to bay.
The wine that had been split
upon the floor made a star-shaped
stain that might have been the
stain of blood. The dusk of the
dim room had scarcely lightened,
though outside the morning, white
and golden, bathed the hill city.

And then came a torrent of argu-

involuntarily expected blows.
She was tired, stiff. Her white
ass, blocked temporarily by the
traffic in the long and sinuous
bazaar street, stood patient, it's
nose almost touching a pile of GU
cumbers. A strangling feeling of
hopelessness arose in the girl. She
would never find Evanand If she
did she was less to him now than
dog.
She raised her face, looking up
to where, above the wallis and
archways Of ancient stone between
whose chinks grass grew, were the
dead white marble towers of the
Citadel - battlemented, impreg-
nable, perching place for doves
as the morning anointed them with
its beauty. They were like marble
colossi to whom divine names have
been given, but who are, in reality,
as deaf as the stone from which
they have been hewn.
