CHAPTER Nv

Captain Carl Norwood's tent faced
the Kadur River. About a mile
away, it resembled moonlit ir-
regular ribbon of silver streaming
from the enormous temple; and the
temple was citadel of mystery
that loomed against Indian night.
There was a stiffness that seemed
like the womb of music, into which
the clatter and voices from the camp
kitchen fell naturally and the hoof-
beats of a cantering horse thudded
on dusty earth like calculated drum
beats.
A shadow that was a horse was
refined in with unnecessary vigor.
A palace messenger dismounted.
Norwood's servant, careful for his
masters dignity, accepted a silver
tube with the air of comforting
favor.
Norwood opened the tube, after. he
had made sure that the servant had
withdrawn to a sufficient distance.
Then he went to the table and wrote,
inserted his own letter into the tube

"Tell Moses l want him."

because we were standing right I'm

the question. Besides, I weren't
the right person to ask. But he
slipped me a box O. the Princes

"What did you tell him?"
''Me? I told him you're the mild

interests you so much as running
surveys"

There are two schools of thought
on this subject, and the government
grants father his constitutional
rights to do as he pleases. But it
is suggested, after deiberation, that
a short person had best stand and a
tall person should sit for the most
