Out on tho lringc of the desert no man is httsliand—no woman wife. It is love—the love o! Salome. Sheba. or Cleopatra, unbridled. sweeping. The settings are superli. and no expense has been spared to faithfully follow the hook. To Lady Adrienne there was no longer a memory of Carlyle waiting in Bombay. She would never go hack to him.
