YASMINI, charming, vivacious and courageous orphaned daughter of the of Sialpore and a Russian Princess, is not allowed to reign as , Maharanee in her father’s place because the British Government of India not to put a woman on the throne. rapacious, dissolute man, is selected GUNGADHURA, her cousin, a He knows of the existence of t Sialpore Treasure, the accumula- tion of generations of Maharajahs, but does not know where it is hidden, the secret having died with Yasmini’s father. DICK BLAINE, an American mining engineer, is employed by Gungadhura @stensibly to look for gold. THERESA BLAINE (“Tess”), Dick's wife, strikes up a friendship with Yasmini. She later overhears a conversation in which SIR RONALD SAMSON, the English Commissioner, tells Tess of the e ility that it is that which Gungadhura really is seeking, and that the British Government ought to Dick discover it. To this Dick, when told later, refuses to agree.

Yasmjni ran along the shoulder of the hill to where, in the shelter of a clump of trees, a carriage waited. A woman came running out to meet her. Fussing and giggiing over her the maid bustled her into the carriage, and without a word of instruction the coachman tooled his team down-hill at a leisurely gait, as if told in ad- vance to take his time about It; the team was capable of speed. Inside the carriage with a lot more chuokling and giggling a change was taking place almost as complete as that from chrysalis to butterfly. A shrill scream at one stage of the journey (that started a rumor all over Sialpore to the effect that Gungadhura ‘was up to the same old game again) announced, as a matter of plain fact, that Yasmini had sat on the spurs. There was long spun-gold hair to be combed out—penciling to do to cye- brows—lace to be applied to pretty feet to make them exquieitely pretty and layer on layer of gossamer silic to be smothered and hung exactly right. But when they reached the tem- ple of Jinendra the toilet was fin- ished and all was quiet and order- ly inside the carriage. ‘There were very few worshipers at that hour—only a woman and a half-dozen men—all eyes. Yasmini gave them smal! chance to recognize her. Quicker than their gaze could follow, @ low door at the rear closed behind her and the maid. The room she entered so abrupt- ly unannounced was swept and washed. There were flowers every- where, but of furniture there was little, only a long cushioned bench, and a thing like a throne on which ‘Jinemfre’s fat high priest sat in solitary grandeur. “Bend the girl away,” he suggested as sooh as he greeted her. But Yasmin laughed at him. “I know the ways of priests,” she red. ‘‘The girl stays! “But at the first imaginary tnsult she will run with information to wherever {t will do most harm. If she can be made properly afraid, Yasmini’s golden laugh cut him off short. If she is made afraid now she will hate me later.
