ing hither and thither on the
torrent.

Half swimming, half wading, we reached the bearer of the light.

It was old Pellmelli, 'doing a Sanitary special,' as he told us.

We, somewhat deceitfully, led him to believe that we had lost ourselves
on a similar errand, for a rival Budget, with which he was concerned in
a Paper Mill.[30]

A Journalistic War, then.--ED.

On our faithfully promising to give him exclusive information about our
adventures, 'for an Extra,' as he said, old Pellmelli conducted us to
an orifice in the rock, whence we escaped, at last, into the light of
such day as dwells in the Dark City.

Our hopes now entirely rest on finding Jambres again, but it may be, of
course, a good three or four thousand years before that.

Here this strange narrative closes; and as I end my editorial task, I
have only one question to ask myself--Will this thing go on? will
Jambres and Leonora meet? will the Americans give up Jambres under the
Extradition Act? or----

Is the great drama Played Out?--ED.

'Mr. HAGGARD certainly provides the readers of _Longman's Magazine_
with a rich supply of excitement.'

_COUNTY GENTLEMAN._

'The Author has so far dispensed with the element of the supernaturally
strange which provided much of the weird attractiveness of "King
Solomon's Mines," and in an even greater measure of "She," but the
inherent probability of the present narrative rather enhances than
detracts from its interest in the mind of the reflective reader.'
