All right, I'll follow the road.

O'Leary vanished. Norwood had
ridden another fifty yards when he
heard angry shouting, several times
repeated. He wasn't sure, but he
thought he also heard girls voice.
He rode forward slowly and then, a
bit alarmed by the ensuing silence,
stirred his horse to canter. He
drew rein, looking upward at Lynn,
not much more than two or three
minutes after Rundhia had left her.
She was sitting in full moonlight on
top of the wall, on cushion, with
one foot hanging over the wall and
her back against the kiosk.
'Hello!" he remarked. "Did Run
dhia leave you all alone here?"
"He said he'd come back"
"Well, he'll keep that promise.
How we'll do you know him?"

"I'm twenty-five"
"You don't look it. I had guessed
you as eighteen. However, no doubt
you know how to take care of your
self among men of your own race.
I'm taking it for granted that you're
nice girl with sense of hurnor
but bit rebellious against certain
sorts of restraint. All this is new,
and you're enjoying it. You like the
Indian setting, and the novelty and

A shadow moved. Someone chuck

Rundhia doomed on the wall with
a guitar in his hand. He smiled
down at Norwood. The moonlight
shone on his teeth.

you on your way to camp? Well, it's
a grand night for a ride. Sorry
you're tired and sleepy"
Norwood eased his horse little
nearer to the wall. He gave the
reins to the sails. In another mo-
ment he was standing upright on the
saddle, with his head within six
inches of the top of the wall:
81 am not so sleepy as perhaps I
look" he answered. "Give me a
hand up, Rundhia.'
Lynn watched. This was some
thing altogether new in her expert
ence. Rundhia hesitated Moonlight
betrayed him. Rundhia felt tempted
to refuse. But he hadn't the iron.
He could have scared the horse and
made Norwood look ridiculous. But
he hadn't the nerve. Lynn felt sor-
ry for him. With a shrug he handed
the guitar to her, in order to use
both hands to help Norwood scram-
BILE up the wall.
"You weren't invited" said Run
dhia.
Norwood stared "No. noticed it.

Lynn spoke with all the malice she

CHAPTER v

Rundhia was puzzled and Lynn
knew it. She enjoyed it. 1t was
cool and beautiful beneath the moon
lit trees in the garden.
"You are the strangest mixture of
intelligence and innocence that I
have ever met" said Rundhia. "You
are in love with all this. You are
thrilled by the exotic strangeness.
But it's all old stuff to me, remem-
Der. I'm babe in the woods, too,
in a certain sense. I'm as lost as
you are. Things and places don't
make life worth living. It's the peo-
pie in the places, and the things
they do together. If you loved me
and l loved you"
''But neither of us Does" Lynn in
terrupted. 'We are East and West.

can't ever really understand it. And
the East enraptures me for the same
reason"

Eyes. One would have to be blind,
deaf, demented, not to like you.
What's wrong with me?"
Lynn's defensive tactic was a
thousand times more shrewd than
Aunty would dream of giving her
credit for:
'Well, for instance, why do you
dislike Captain Norwood?"
"For the same reason that he
doesn't like me-" said Rundhia.
"Cherchez la femme. Thank the
father and mother who bred him,
he's only an Engineer. If he were
Cavalry, might feel jealous. Lynn,
I love YOU"
"How many women have you said
that to-"
Hundreds. But I lied to all the
Others"

met you. I have found and lost it
in the same moment. It is yours.
What will you do with it?"
His arm crept around her. He
hardly knew how she slipped away
from him. She waltzed away. She
ran along the path, her arms ex-
tended to embrace the moonlit
luxury of hue and view and per-
fumed flowers. By the time he over
took her, her retort was ready:
perhaps you don't like men with
red hair?"

"Good" said Rundhia. ''I'm 60

thing else. Come along. I'll be-
have. Come this way"
He led her up steps to the top of
the ancient garden wall. There was
summerhouse on the wall, sort
of kiosk; it had been swept and
provided with cushions by servant
who crouched in shadow. Rundhia
ordered the servant away. He went
and lurked at the foot of the steps,
but Rundhia shouted at him and he
fled. Rundhia led Lynn into the
open-sided kiosk.

"to behave"

birthday anniversary Of two sisters.

honors on the same day are Mrs.

sife-time friend, played hostess by
entertaining with dinner in their
honor. At 400 pm, these close

a most delectable meal.
