A dirty coal oil lamp hung |crookedly from the ceiling and shed a feeble glow upon flat-topped desk, several chairs, cot with a broken leg, an old-fashioned safe, the door of which was open, and a round table wi6h a aecK of cards and stacks of poker chips on it. The north window was broken. Dust and sand furred everything which had escaped constant human contact.
 The wax figures faced each other across the table. Time and heat and dirt had blurred their re- semblance to the famous warriors they counterfeited, but at first glance they looked fairly human
