Juuso so. Far down on the at he saw Zell and Shem going home, and Terry paused to watch the lovely child. . Rousing him- self, as if from a dream, he walked straight to the drape of vines that partly hid the entrance to the cave of Ishmael. Jack would have said Terry's vision at least had learned concentration. He stood motionless, looking into the cave. He saw a large natural excavation giving a space of fty feet or more. On every side from roof to oor the walls were lined with books; What a magnicent library. The ceiling was draped from the center outward with velvet soft and rich, and was of a pure gold color. From the centre hung a chandelier of burnish-, ed gold, bearing tiny lamps almost in-. nunierable. These small lamps were quite antique. The oor was covered with the same material the top was draped with. Statues of ne marble lightened the remotest corners with - their involuntary chasteness, gleaning white and cold looking. Ottomans with: out number, broad and easy, were .scat~ tei-ed around. These, too, were covered with the rich golden velvet. Just un- der the lights were ranged four couches`, over which were drapings heavily fring- ed with silk. On each of _these sumptu- ous bmls lay, still and white, .a man.` Near them was an ottoman, the covering of which was richer than the rest, the tl1`ap(:lu-illg wrought and fringed with the sztiiw rich metal the chandelier was 1I1Z1(l<- of. Here sat what Ten'y had sazetl at so xedly-a girl, the same. the Very same, as Zell. `Could it be Zell, or was this Zanea. The same clinging silken gown, shoes of the same old make, the hair falling in the same rich profusion, A one, only one little dierence. Zanea wore a girdle. A chain of gold, bound the silk in folds at her waist, showing the perfect curves that were concealed by the owing garb of Zell. , The chain reached to the hem of the dress in 31931111118 links.` She sat with on',eln_'1ee Cauglit up between her clasped hands Watching those deathly Still men.

She does not know that there is life, death, sorrow, joy, love, hatred and strife continually at war away out there over the hills. It is better . to know about all those passions, and better yet to feel them,` even if the suering they bring makes us writhe in mental agony. She is without knowledge of any kind. Shem and Father Ambrose have taught S her "to speak well, but that is `all.
