What was the whole story con tained within those age-worn parchments? Only a part of the strolls had been deciphered by Abbe I terse re, her father's "spiri tual agent" in that strange land beyond the Himalayas. Kareu had expected to make her way quietly to the very spot de scribed In the ancient writings, to visit Abba Bergere on his lonely mountain and learn the whole truth from him. What then might befall reujuiucd iu Uie lap of the gods. But how was she to escape the net her father had flung across the Atlantic? Could she persuade him lo relent, now that Whipple wus safely in charge? Probably not, Suppose she managed to escttpe? but could she do without funds? Her father held the purse-stringy and he certainly would not finance this hoity-toity adventure of hers. In a stroll about tiie deck, Kareu Sire encountered Kinnuird Clark, the first officer. lurtng their slay in the roadstead he hud lingered below decks, keeping a look-out on three Greek deporLces. "You cun't tll when these fellows will pop overboard and swim for it," he ex plained. "Kugitives from justice nut u rally have no yearning for repatriation." lie round Miss Sire only mildly interested in this. "Wonder if 1 couldn't have Mr. Whipple for din ner?" she asked. "How will you have him boiled or roasted?" Clark laughed. "That fellow Is In my charge, too he's an international racketeer. I wouldn't permit him to sit at a table with you eveu It he had leg irons on him." " et he seemed to enjoy com plele liberty in New York." Clark became mysterious. "They got something on him since he uuarded this ship," he said cau tiously. "Ills valet is under deten tion with him." A shudow fell between them. A little bmwn man, with his light arm iu a sling, was stundlng a lew teet away. From the look on his face ho might have been a fiend paroled iroiu perdition for some mission that no mortal man could be found to undertake. "iacK aft and slay there!" snapped Clark. lite little man started away, bis head turning as if on a pivot to survey Karen Sire.

She turned to a purcb inent sheet that showed the least sign of age but which remained " a untranslated. The scroll was abundantly decorated with curlpus figures, among them and most frequently recurring) a snow leop ard, colored in. faded pigments. Here, Karen felt sura, lay the prophecy. Somewhere within this baJfling scroll dwelt the secret of her own ancestry. Whatever it contained was known to Brenda Whipple; It was known to Geof frey Whipple; It bad been known to Jura Hal; It was known to the lanatlcal rabble now gathering from the four corners of the earth to occupy Sim valley. Rut it was not known to her. Did her father know? Was he ashamed of it? Even In lier superficial study of anthropology at school, Karen had learned that much of this talk about "pure white stock" was his toric hokum. She knew the du Movie bious origin of many northern Eu ropean peoples. Further, she un derstood, that few actually know anything of their own grandpar ents. Why, then, bad she erected this bogey barrier against herself? Why had she permitted Daunister io beat his bands In vain against Its adamant walls? Simply this: The remoteness of It all had been dispelled by the harsh words of Brenda Whipple. Kveu yet, Karen was not Biire that the dimness of centuries had obliterated the bar sinister . . . Whom did the "ab sconding king" take to wife when he fled to the desert? Who were his sons and the sous of his sons? Tartars all? And did they come down to any recent generation as wild desert men?
