Lakkon stood at the end of the double row of guards and welcomed his guests. He gave Croft hig hand with a smile which lighted his eyes. “Welcome, Lord Jasor, to mine house, to Himyra'’s happiness to the honor of Aphur,” he said, and bent his knee to Robur ere the two men passed. It was then Robur led Croft to the dais and mounted the steps as one who knew beforehand his place as- signed. Croft hung back, and his companion laughed. “Up,” he cried. “To-night you are honored of Aphur ng above most men. Tingling at the knowledge, Croft mounted and seated himself at a wave from Robur's hand. The prince t gaged over the brilliant scene with a smile of something like pride. goodly company,” he said, Croft too gazed around before he “A replied, Surely Robur had spoken aright, he thought, as he swept the body of the guests where colors blended in an endless harmony of shades, and the white arms and shoulders of matron and maid gleamed in the play of the lig!

He cast his eyes about the myriad of flaming lamps and sud- denly he smiled, “Yet would it be even more brilliant were the oll lanips removed and in their place we were to put small globes of glass which should emit @ radiance not. due to oil, but to a glowing filament shut within them, so that they would need no filling, but would burn when a mall knob were turned “Zitul’ Robur gave him a glance. “Are you at it again—with your won+ derful dreams?” “Aye.” Once more Croft smiled and grew serious as it recurred to ‘his mind that ere long he must again re- turn to earth. “Call them dreams, Rob,” he said, “Dreams they may be—yet shall you #ee them come And—listen, my loyal friend; be that ere long I shall dream again as L dreamed before—that my body shall lie a# Jasor's body lay in Scira tru all seem to d What mean you?’ Robur cried. “This you have sald before,” Croft snook his head tl may not tell you more; yet 1 would exact your promise that when that time comes, as I know it will, you shall set a guard about my body and fonbid that it he disturbed until TI shall apain awake with a full knowledge of more pliail be done for Aphur's ga “You mean this uid not Jes ttle better burned Robur’s voice had than @ whisper, an the question into Croft's bra “Aye, Will you promise ” “L will promise, and w T promise I fulfil,” said Apbur'a e "Yet you arouse strange fancies within me hink Zitu himself that sleep.” oN. et what I do, I do by His grace,” Croft replied, “And from each sleep I am assured shall come good to the Tamarizian race."
