CHAPTER III.

“Some god hath cast me forth upon this land,

And O, what land? So thick is the sea mist.”

The next morning Princess Kezia was up before sunrise. She dressed quickly so she would have time to pray all alone in the dear old temple before the others were up. On the way up the hill she accidentally met the doctor going in the same direction.

“Princess Kezia, I was just going to the temple to pray also.”

“Doctor, how did you know I was going there?”

“I can read your thoughts, Kezia. Could you guess what my prayer could be?”

“No, Doctor, I am sorry that I am unable to read your thoughts.”
