" "I could not die there, " said the hollow voice, and the head sank fartherforward. "Year after year I lived there, but I could not die among them. I was no leper; I am no leper. My penalty was my penalty, and I paidit to the full, piastre by piastre of my body and my mind. It was notone death, it was death every hour, every day I stayed. I had no mind. I could not think. Mummy-cloths were round my brain; but the fire burnedunderneath and would not die. There was the desert, but my limbs werel...ike rushes. I had no will, and I could not flee. I was chained to theevil place. If I stayed it was death, if I went it was death. " "Thou art armed now, " said David suggestively. Achmet laid a handfiercely upon a dagger under his robe. "I hid it. I was afraid. Icould not die--my hand was like a withered leaf; it could not strike; myheart poured out like water. Once I struck a leper, that he might strikeand kill me; but he lay upon the ground and wept, for all his anger, which had been great, died in him at last.
