I'VE had been invited to visit the

was telling could hurt no one. She

INJURED Lynn. She was glad that
the questions had ceased. She re-
Taxed and watched the whirling
dust-devilS Scuttle across the
hills which were changing from
graSslandS to scrub growth like
the sagebru-h in certain parts of
western America.
Occasionally the girl looked
back as if she half expected to
see Temu coming after them on
a winged camel. Just what he
was doing, she wondered. In vain,
she tried to visualize his activity.
One thing she was already begin
ming to suspect. She would miss
those people; Sherlock with his
wise. old twinkling eyes; Gersing
with her jolly, primitive, good
sense; Little Bamboo and her gig
gle Temu-Lynn did not want to
analyze her feeling about Temu.
From the divide they coasted
down TO vast, sandy plain and
stopped for water and a late
lunch at the abandoned ruins of
a large, walled town. Here, all
trails met and vast herds of sheep
and donkeys and camels watered
at crude troughs made from pop
lar logs.
A few hours later they came to
an endless mound of earth, per-
haps ten feet high and equally
wide, broken occasionally by
trails for entrance to the sacred
soil of the Celestial Empire.
you are seeing the Great
Wall" remarked Mr.. Wallace.
Here, it is merely ridge of dirt
though it started out so grandly
where you first viewed it."
Taking one of the cuts through
the ridge they entered a vast
graveyard. Grave cones, as far as
the eye could see, reached across
the plain. The last resting place
of those Chinese, who pioneered
in Mongolia or Turkestan or
Tibet, but came home eventually
alive or dead, to rest inside the
Great Wall 1t was a deso1ate
place.

cism of the "high-handed treat
ment' of citizens by the commits
sioners in arbitrarily setting a
