What was the whole story con

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

But how was she to escape the
net her father had flung across the
Atlantic? Could she persuade him

but could she do without funds?
Her father held the purse-stringy
and he certainly would not finance
this hoity-toity adventure of hers.

"How will you have him

" et he seemed to enjoy com

Clark became mysterious. "They
got something on him since he
uuarded this ship," he said cau
tiously. "Ills valet is under deten

A shudow fell between them. A
little bmwn man, with his light
arm iu a sling, was stundlng a lew

seemed to rudiate from him.

become a freebooter of the
desert beyond the Sira valley,
making strong the passes to
the domain and plundering all
caravans that sought to make
peaceful trade wlci the king

named him the "Scourge of

his head the wrath of (iod.

time was not ripe for tlio men
and women with blue eyes and
golden hair, T b e 'Scourge

take their herds und with fire
und sword did make of their
land a desert.
Who was this absconding king?
Was the desert scourge the man of
whom her great-grandfather had
boasted? 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?
