from Meredith. though he caught sight of
a puggaree above the Pariahs head, which
showed him that it was not woman, as
he had expected. Then Aguf moved aside
and Meredith saw Abdulla Milk standing
before the closed door.
He set his teeth hard, and certain fury
at the traitor rose up in him and almost
choked him. He sat down on the girls
charpoy to recover himself but the blood
ran to his head holly. He had been almost
sure this fellow was false, yet, somehow.
lately, the intensity OF his resentment
against the khansamah had languished; but
now-but now He clinched his teeth
savagely. his interest in the Pariah lost In
his sudden furious hate of this other man.
The one was professional Ishmael who
lived up to his calling; the other
And then the picture of the child-little
Yussuf-who had called him the Great One
and loved him simply, rose before him and
halted his hate, as 1t Were
And at that moment Ben Alif leaned over
from where he was squatted On the floor
watching, and gently scratched his foot
bringing him to quick atrention again. He
rose up and listened. There were voices
speaking beyond there-muff1ed tits true,
but with words and sentences sometimes
distinguishable just the same-and he re-
turned to the hole in the wall and watched

Aguf was seated on the charpoy. while
Abdula was standing IN front of him like
a schoolboy at task, and looking about as
uncomfortable, under the others questions
IDENTIFY dissatisfied with the answers, for he
suddenly jumped up and laid his hand on
the others throat roughly, drawing his face
close and snarling out at him: See to it,,
Abdulla Milk; see to 1t! Ten days thou
hast had the powder and saw the Sahib
alive and well this day-curse him!-and
thou CONTEST whimpering here about. a

He flung him away, and Abdulla stag

and his face gray with th,., fear through the
with a face OF brutal scorn; but he was
evidently not quite satisfied that the man
had lied, for he asked suddenly: "Who Is

Nicholas Ike nam hal"

1t out at last: Nicholas Ike nam hal"
''Tlc! Tic! Nicholas Ike nam hal" the
other whined mockingly. Yes, l have
heard of one with that name and he may
have need to take medicine himself soon!
Does he eat with thy Sahib, Abdulla?
A fresh fit of shivering seized the khan
samah at the insinuation of both tone and
question, and he shook his head mSerably
Come, how long has this new hakim
been treating the Sahib, and for what sick
neSs?" were the next questions, and the
way they were put gave one the idea OF
a cat playing with mouse. But presently
Abdulla got over some of his shaking, and
perhaps a little of his fear, for he grew
sullen and snapped his answers back
when he made them at all-surlily; for it
had occurred to him that this Aguf and
those back of him needed him too much
at least, until he had finished the work they
had set him-to harm him.
Aguf seemed a little nonplussed at this
change of attitude, but after a few mo-
ments began to buster more than ever,
calling his victim by seemingly every foul
name in the vernacular. His ferocity was
beginning to affect Abdulla, despite that
gentleman's recent philosophy, when his
prosecutor gave sudden start and Sood
listening.
There came sharp, peculiar sound from
the pavement outside and below the win
dow, such sound might be made by the
contact of a policemans stick with the
stone flags. After long, breathless pause
the Pariah crept over and lowered the light
window, opened the shutters a few inches
and gazed out.
The road was empty, and the pavement
beneath; but there was street lamp on the
corner whose light cast number of
strange oblique shadows over the sidewalk.
These Aguf studied with painful fascina-
ton. gradually opening the shutter more
and more in his eagerness to find out the
cause of those distorted black patches
which tremb1ed and moved with the flicker
ing of the lamp in the wind, and again
seemed to move curiously of themselves.
Shortly one of the shadows changed into
better focus with the light and resolved
itself into that of a puggaree-clad head, the
same puggaree being of a shape that was
especially Objectionable to Aguf and all Of
his clan. Then another shadow detached
itself from the general unintelligible de-
sign. huge hand-badly out Of drawing.
