When repairs were finished, the unpointed sloop nosed out of the bay wnd breasted the tameless blue. Tlie captain had whipped three Chlneys Into the crew, and the lad loved them. The mate, also Swedish but Inclined to alienee, had frightened two negroes up from tha back rooms of tha city, to add to tha quota. A Hindu, and bony, hauled at tha sheets, frequently pausing to weep gt hla own Ignorance. On these later occasions, the alien ce of the mate was broken.

Ilia days were filled with strong drink, labor, and dreams. The captain had rend three books In English, and he now rend them ngnln, aloud to hla midshipman. They were the "Travels of Marco Polo," a fathomless treatise on The Art of Toxins," and the RhagavsdgUa. The pages of these three gulden, fragrant, and terrible were written afresh n the eager listener. He strove to conceal how they hit hla pride, ne slaved at the ropes with (be yellow men, and sometimes langhed with them; hut they watched him with narrowed eyes and a lowering of the chin, and even Done-gu- n at the stove practised more careful ways In Stephen's presence. In the evenings there were tales of China and her deep, mad deserts. Vague yet Irresistible, these yellow jtrfinds were drawing him to Mid-- , Asia. Lordliness stirred In his breast. Tha voyage was an affair of months, gale-cuhut Stephen March had made hlg own Inner arrival, But he was twenty when he reached mountains beyond the tha China wall. Tha caravan had left him at the village khan, for they were turning southward to cross the Hwang-h- o and proceed upon the Ho-taplain, over a trail that might once have bean! merchants whispering tha news of Jeans. Here March waited, Then, with tha urhaving no gold. gent mysterious summons still haunting him, he was forced to turn hla lurk upon tha desert, and return to Peking for money. The English girl whom ha married la the square city of Peking found In him the quality of lordship. They prospered together. When he was twenty-sevehe went again to the gap In tha long Wall, In the north. lie had camels and provisions, and a radiant heart The unknown treasure beckoned. A throne seemed waiting nut there. But the sleeted storms of winter came against him, and hla caravan diminished, until the robber fell upon them and left their bodies for the wolves when spring shonld come. Only one other returned with Stephen March his Hilary boy, who bad gone mad with desert fears. Tha English wife was In mourning, and a small child was learning to walk In the garden court of the Peking house. Then the three of them went te America, where Stephen found much gold, and hla Englishwoman had less difficulty In teaching the mother tongue to her son, Andrew. She kmged for her lords and their ways many of them long since turned to quiet dost In some nhhry and the spirit of England must have heard, for she was taken Into the bosom of thst assembly. Her death slmrpened the old desire In Stephen, and when Andrew was sixteen. father and son had Journeyed together to the tar city uf Peking, and to the Great Wall and the plains of Andrew March liad told Levlnghm of that failure, so charged with fieauty and suffering how tlio fierce heat of summer had withered (lie liensts; how (heir Inspired trail across (ha sand-- r runts and along the rim of gray pita had been dotted with fallen men and The traders- had warned camels. them, and cursed their purpose, Mr they had pressed on, away from the trodden routes to north and south, straight Into the west, always westward and to (he north, nntll party Of dusty horsemen had ridden them down, robbed them, and turned them hack.

Something In the great Gold hsd magnetised her, as well. Her lover's quest waa her uwn.

Through that memorable summer aha had ridden bealda her husband. Andraw March planned a southern break In approach from tha Chen-ta- n the Wall, where tha forests are thick. In autumn tha camels grew fat, and tha winter months found them plodding through tha rain and mow of the sheltered ridges. Spring came, and the wanderers turned northward, following the clearings through the woods Kithna's heart beat high. But aa they Journeyed, the trace failed In the rocky earth, and an unreal summer stiffened the spine of every camel. The sand blued on an sides, sparkling upon worn rocks Andraw had atriven to smooth all things for hla Elthna. She langhed at hla worries 8he waa drawing closer to the heart of beauty and romance. They halted In a bleak settlement where stream had once passed. Now but a muddy spring remained.

Their mouthlnga were not taken down officially. The stories wera tinctured with lunacy, so decided the wise listeners at the legation. Elthna March was never found. In eighteen years some of the bitterness liud hik'd out iff this for Andrew Man'll. His vays wera as reosullte as thoos of Ids father, his desires In shadowy worlds. To him Kithira was lest, bat not forever. Hla sorrow was never a blank. Ha realized how completely sn Easterner he was. how Oriental In character. The bleoelng was that It gave him a Chinese patience. About the time that Con Levlngton was finding tha deep places of America. and dipping In rather freely for a young person, Andrew March's ah tentlon hail centered upon dice Ming, newly arrived In Dory street. This Chinese shared hi business with no man. Intentionally. March had been so light a shadow upon him that tlie attack In the Wetlger house woe a real surprise. Leviugton had worked delicately, and March permitted hlmeelf to hojie as he had not dared hope for eighteen yean. He had seen a pecnl- skln-woun- for-Itun- g miles Ierhaie the Immensity of sky, the taring emptiness of the horizon, af- fected the rosy newcomer. There wn no wail of sorrow from her tiny n mnrmur. In lips only a their hut the Tartar woman, gaunt and hairy, waa an unsuspected miracle of tenderness and sagacity. In the following spring, when thr glare of the daytime was accompanied by swelling heat, Andrew with hla wife and child net forth again. There was no trail. The camels were uneasy. Andrew whs worn. Ha longed to go on, as Elthna did; yet the Impulse to turn back was strong within him. nut ahe had told him lightly, and perhapa truly, that China to the south and east would be quite as and much leas sanitary than tha pathleaa land before them. The child gravely regarded sand, neks and the dear sky, and learned to laugh happily whenever Andrew came to take her. A doll was made of silks and a Jackal hone. A shining Hoard waa also added to the March family for her entertainment The beasts grew thin and dry. The wind, a monster serpent of the air, wept before them and over them, reddened the camels' eyes and darkened their milk. In Elthna'a eheeka the color deepened, and aha refused to turn hack. Andrew lost count of the were days. Two of the killed for food and drink, and a third went down to. the lack of the same. The baby glri prospered, and Elthna whispered her songs under tha star light of a grotesqne world. The riders came.

Then he found the tiny feathered dart still clinging to hla shoulder where they had blown It the poisoned barb under the skin. Andrew had been for hours. Elthna and tlie ehlld were gone. Madly he kicked the camels and need. In the pale far light of the heavens he thought he could follow the tracks of the horses. He was able to do so without difficult?, hut found to hla terror that each rider had taken a different direction, radiating out from the point of attack. He did not know which lo follow.
