man had gone there to consult with
the Murchese Giovsnni concerning
some molecular theory that was in-
volved in his formulas. Giovanni
was digging up a buried temple on
the northern border of the Punjab.
One night. in the explorer’s tent.
ncnr the excavations. this inscrutc
able creature walked in on Rodman.
$30 one knew how he got into the
tent or time he came from.
Giovanni told about it. The tent-
flap simply opened. and the big
Oriental appeared. He had some-
thing under his arm rolled up in u
prayer-carpet. He gave no atten-
tion to Giovanni. but. he salesmed
like a cooilo to the little American.
"Master." he-ssid. “you were hard
to find. i have looked over the world
for you." ‘
And he squatted down on the dirty
floor by Rodnmn‘e camp stool.
The two men spent the remainder
of the night looking in the present
that the creature brought Rodman
in hlsprayer-carpet. They wanted
to know where the Oriental got it,
and that's how the story came out.
He was something. searcher seems

the grout Shari Monastery on tho
southeastern plateau at the Gobi. He
was looking for ltodnian because he
had the light—here was another
word that the two men could find no
term in any modern language to
translate; a little llama was the
literal meaning.
The present was from the tree.-

very ' iii-pet around it. Giovanni mild.

'l‘heie was another thing that came
out in the talk that Giovanni utter-
