Then he moved outward upon the sheer face of the white chalk wall, In the halftight of the baby moon it appeared that the heavy, |shaggy black figure moved ‘oss | the face of the perpendicular wall tn some miraculous manner, but closer examination would have revealed stout pegs, ax large around as a | man's wrist, protruding frém holes jin the cliff into which they were |driven. Kent's four handlike mem: | {bers and his long, #inuous tail per mitted him to move with consum mate ease whither he chose—a gigan Ue rat upon a mighty wall, As he | progressed upon his way he avoided the cave mouths, pessing either Jabove or below those that lay in bis | path. ' | The outward apbearance of these | caves was slinilar, An opening from jelght to as much as twenty feet liong by ¢ight high and four to six feet deep was cut into the chalkitke | rock of the cliff. In the back of this jlarge opening, which formed what | might be deseribed as the front ve jranda of the home, was an opening jabout three feet wide and six fect high, evidently forming the door way to the interior apartment or apartments, On either side of this doorway were smaller openings» which it were easy to askume were | Windows thru which light and air might find their way to the inhabit. | jAnts. Similar windows were also dotted over the cliff face between the | entrance porches, suggesting that | | the entire face of the cliff was honey. combed with apartments.

At the doorway leading into the interior he | paused again, listening, and then quietly pushing aside the heavy skin that covered the aperttre he passed within « large chamber hewn from the living rock. From the far end, thru another doorway, shone a light, dimly. Toward this he crept with utmost stealth, His knotted | club had been hangim-at hin back | jfrom a thong about his neck. This | he now removed nd carried in his| j lett hand. Beyond the second doorway was i* corridor running parallel with the jeliff face, In this corridor were three more doorways, one at each end and @ third almost opposite that jin which Ewsat stood. The light |was coming from an apartment at the end of the corridor at hig left. A Sputtering flamt rose and fell in a |smali receptacle that stood upon a/ j table or bench of the sume material, | [@ monolithic bench fashioned at the} | time the room was excavated, rising |massively from the floor, of which |it was a part. In one corner of the room beyond | the table had been left a dais of stone about four feet wide and eight feet long. Upon this were piled a foot Or #0 Of softly tanned Aelts from which the fur had not been removed Upon the edge of this dais wat 4 young female Wazdon.

Her | loin cloth of yéllaw and black striped | |Jato-skin lay on the couch beside her |with the circular breastplates of | | be aten gold, revealing the symmetri-| jeal lines of her nude figure in all its beauty and harmony of contour, for | even tho the creature was jet black land entirely cowred with hair yet |she was undeniably beautiful. That she was beautiful in the eyes of Essat, the chief, was evidenced by the gloating expression upon his | fierce countenance and the increased rapidity of his Breathing.
