The Lama raised his right hand in a final benediction, turned into the cave and vanished. Then the chela’s voice—calling to Ommony as dawn sank deep into the pit, revealing her companions on a ledge below:

“O Gupta Rao—change your name now! Wait for me. I am coming—Tsiang Samdup bids us go forth together!”

THE END
