He relaxed with an elbow on the other steamer trunk, but he kept his voice itched low. “You shouldn't be ieft here alone. It’ll soon be dark.” She knew it all too well. “This place has an evil reputation,” he went on, “the local shepherds say they're waiting for She held herself with an ef- pt Mine a you trying to frighten me “Could it be done?” he asked, regarding her; brown eyes, red lips, wine bronze hair in short dishevelled ringlets.

Instead she said, “What| frightens the shepherds?” | “When dark comes, flames are | supposed to dance above the tomb.” He took a pipe out of his ket and put it back again. ‘Have you eyes to see such things?” “No,” she admitted. And she realized what it would be like here if he had not appeared. Though he might be an enemy or a spy or just a coincidence, he was still a gift from the gods. She made a deliberate decision. “Look at that tree by the tomb,” she said. The haze was thickening in such’ a way that the tree ap- peared to come and go in a most disconcerting fashion though there was no direct evidence of a breeze. She decided sensibly it must be something about the air currents around the monument ‘and between the hillocks. “The little warped poplar?” he “T guess you saved my life,” Anne stammered. is possible for a tree to be men- tally deranged?” He didn’t start and stare at her as she had half expected, Instead he replied after a thoughtful moment. “To think that I should meet a girl like you in a place like this.” “You believe I’m goofy too.” The dust. in the air was moving now and the sands whispered along the ground, but he seemed undisturbed. “If you're a goof, then so am I, and we are goofs together,” he declared. The wail in the wires above had changed to a deep- toned roar. “Are you a hermit?” she asked. “Well, hardly,” he chuckled. “There seem to be gaps in your education, “Your friends, the Nagaras, say,” he went on after a moment, “that life is the prick of a sacred dagger which lets us imagine we're born and we died, when in truth we remain immortal be- ings.” Her eyes were growing larger and larger. “I wish they’d come,” she half moaned. “I'm glad I came,” he declared, his voice bland as cream. “Here z rok Rika Alec Nanson She nodded. “Do you -think it) you sit like a queen on a throne and I'm first to pay you hom- age. Do you get the picture?” She got it but she couldn’t quite believe it. That she, Anne Willard should be crouching here at dusk on a steamer trunk in the Kalmar desert, while a bold-eyed stranger in a lambskin cap ed poetry to her in the language of home, Suddenly, a little chirping, like that of a startled bird, began down by the monument, Anne knew very well there were no birds about the place, and invol- untarily reached out a frightened hand. He clasped it and rose ab- ruptly. “Au revoir,” he said in a low voice. “Here come your native friends,” and he disappeared in the murky atmosphere. Anne sat there like a little ro¢ dear, frozen at the approach of a hunter. It seemed a long time before two grey forms loomed * in the direction of the monument They carried some kind of desert hurricane lantern made from horn, and squatted down in front of her without speaking.

It chills al 4 cious hot beginning to a cold meat your innards.” Her instinct was sound, at that, for nowadays we all realize that hot food is an aid to speedy diges- tion. We know that we feel better for it, and that we get through hot weather more:comfartably when we have. some hotofood with every meal. 6 k # ight: hot-soup is one of the most appetizing .of :all hot dishes for a summer meal. Certainly it is tha easiest to prepare—just open the can, add an equal quantity of water or milk, and heat. And it’s a hurray from Mom who thereby saves herself working over a- hot range before a meal on a smother- ing day. With hot soup decided upon as the hot dish in a meal, all the other main dishes can be prepared in the cool of the morning and tucked safely away in the refrigerator until meal time.
