CHAPTER XIX.

The next day CHANGED to be Thursday on
holiday. and as usual Meredith dismissed
him directly dinner had been served
The man placed the tobacco and coffee
on the table and then hung around the
room, putting this and that to order,
and seemed several times on the point
of speaking; once, in fact, as he stood
behind Adams chair. he cleared his throat
to attract the Sdhib's attention, but Mere
dith sat engrossed in thought and the
fellow drew away again and finally went
his detected attitude-so different from
his ordinary swagger attracted even
Meredith for a moment, who wondered
somewhat vaguely where the mans usual
sprightliness had vanished; but the SUBJ
ject of the evenings work soon drove
the khansamah out of his mind.
Ben Aiif came early and Meredith took
him into the library, and after carefully
fastening the shutters the two went over
the situation carefully. The dwarf was
not quite so optimistic as the doctor about
the matter "Aguf," he said was no
chicken. but a willy old bird with all his
tailfeathers - the very worst parrot in
Bombay-and he must be feeling absolute
~ secure or he would never risk staying
In the city" This should warn them, at
least, against expecting too easy cap
ture. II they once got I'm the room with
him, he was willing to admit that the rest
would be easy. There was a stable close
at hand, kept by q friend of his who
would keep Aguf In seclusion for 40 long
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-02-03

as he Ben Alif proposed. Selim and Ria
min, and perhaps Ager Jan, would walt
in the street while they transacted the
business privately with Aguf in his room;
then the three men would bring a strong
sack and tie the gentleman up and remove
him quietly to the stable like a bag of feed
1t Nigh be necessary-as Ben A1if judi
cially observed in conclusion-to turn the
man over to the police later, but 1t would
certainly be best to keep them out or the
matter till they themselves had at least
If not, indeed, till they actually recovered
the inconsistencies it was quite unnecessary
TO attract attention to either the Sahib or
the talisman at this particular time when
so many thousand eyes were already on
the lookout for sign of the coming av-
altar.
At 1920 they left the bungalow and
started off down the hill. There was a
man watching the road couple of hum
bred yards down, and at nod from the
dwarf he followed them at a distance. and
in Belassis road he was Joined by an
other.
Ben Alif stopped casually at Sotoo's stand
to light a birri, and as the girl held the
light she whispered hastily to him. and he
in turn beckoned to Meredith After a
of the stand, through the narrow door, and
waited on the stairs for the girl. She fol-
lowed almost Immediately, and told them
in hurried whisper that the man Aguf
had not gone out; that he had fought with
the Sidi woman the previous night and she
had run out into the bazaar screaming
and had not returned, and that the man
was sitting up in the room now, smoking
and drinking. She had watched him for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-02-03

to her lover as she fought tooth
and nail at the broken door to give him an
extra moment.
Meredith and Ben Alif had been so taken
aback by the rapid action of things in
Agufs room, by the sudden appearance OF
the police on the scene. and the shrieks OF
the woman. that they had barely got their
wits together when the door of the room
they were occupying pushed cautiously in
and the figure of the pariah stood slhouet-
ted against the dimly lighted corridor.
The man paused on the threshold, peering
into the inky blackness of the room sus-
piciously, some psychological instinct warn
ing him of new danger; but strain his
eyes as he would, he could see nothing OF
those tense, waiting figures.
The woman's cries had ceased. There
came heavy tramp of feet on the lower
stairs, and Aguf stepped into his fate.
Even as he stopped to fit the key on the
inside, Ben Alif reached out of the black
ness and caught him in a terrible strangle-
grip, bending him back across his shoulder
and crushing his throat like an egg-shell
Quick, Sahib; get Abdulla out!' he whfs-
pered back to Meredith as he made through
the door with Agufs quivering body in his
arms. And Meredith, understanding, fol-
lowed him instantly.
AS luck would have it, the khansamah had
just gained courage to come out into the
corridor, and Meredith grabbed him and
dragged him back into Sotoo's room before
the fellow realized what had happened.
Meantime the men were coming up the
stairs in a mass, none of them very much
liking the job. They turned the second
landing, got well on the stairs, and then
they liked it less than ever: for, even as
the leader raised his eyes, some shapeless
mass came hurting through the dim light
and swept him off his feet before he could
even cry out. And as he fell, so fell they
all: with terrible humping and cursing
and grooming the narrow stairway was
swept clear and In the sweeping the only
light they had was struck from the wall:
When they picked themselves up, bruised
and scared half to death, they made clean
bolt down to the front door and dashed
ignominiously into the street. Later light
was brought and the furious inspector led
them up the stairs again.
On the first landing they found the Sidi
woman crouched on the door. tearing her
hair and beating her breasts over the dead
body of her lover, Aguf the Red.
A crowd gathered at the outer doors-and
among them were Meredith and Abdulla,
aye and Sotoo and Ben Alif; and when the
irate Sepoys dispersed the crowd, these
drifted away with them.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-02-03

half hour through her peepholes, and
he seemed very restless, and watched the
door continually, as though expecting some
one.
Sidi woman knew who the man was. and
Sotoo seemed to think she did not as she
had spoken to her several times while she
was drunk about her lover. and she had
not given the slightest suggestion of any
such knowledge. The girl proposed that
they now go up to her room and see for
themselves how things stood and then de-
eide what to do.
Meredith sat on the stairs and unlaced
his Shoes and then followed the other two
barefooted ones cautiously up to the room.
1t was quite dark when they crept in, save
for tiny glimmer that shed through the
girls peep-holes from the room beyond.
They stood silent, hardly breathing, in the
middle of the dark room, listening intently
for any sound. Then suddenly they heard
heavy irregular footsteps cross the floor to
the room beyond, and the creaking of the
window shutter. That broke the spell in
stantly, and Meredith stepped silently over
to one of the holes.
The man was out of sight when he first
lOoked--there being a corner of the room
in which the window was set-but after a
moment the shutter Jared again and, with
q. low muttered curse, the man came stump
ing back with the lamplight shining full on
his ugly face. Meredith stood fairly rooted
to the floor staring half fearfully at the
face. Where had he seen it? Just lately,
somewhere-that brutal face. Where was
1t? Or had he dreamed it? And then it
came sharp-cut and clear, and he wonder
ed how he could have forgotten it for
even an instant-the night Of Sakti-puja,
and that awful brute coming at him with
those beastly, leaping limps! He looked
again closely as the fellow lighted a birri
at the lamp, and saw with some satisfac-
ton that his eyes were puffed and dis
colored.
He was just turning away to whisper
this news to Ben Alif when a quick move
ment of the man he was watching held him.
The fellow had started up suddenly while
lighting his cigarette and held himself set,
listening intently. After moment he set the
lamp down and, creeping over the boarded
floor, crouched at the door with his ear to
the keyhole.
Some signal too low for the watchers to
catch evidently passed. for the man whis-
pered back and then drew q key from his
langouti. turned 1t in the lock and opened
the door,
Tho mans shoulders hid the newcomer

when something in the shadows of the OPP
pcsite pavement attracted his gaze, and.
looking closely, he discovered TIE white
helmet and uniform of European 1nspsc-
tor who appeared to be staring straight at
him. For an instant he was dazed and
nearly lost his presence of mind; then he
realized that it was quite probable that
the officer had not seen him, as the lamp
was very low and placed in a corner of the
room well away from the window He
drew himself slowly and cautiously away,
leaving the shutters open, and then stood IN
the dimly lighted room, thinking hard.
Abduila watched him fearfully, not un-
derstanding in the least what the trouble
was. He saw him go hastily to the closet.
and after some fumbling come out with
some strengthening keys and wires. He
examined these an instant, went swiftly to-
ward the door, and then spun round harply
as Abdulla rose and whispered hoarsely be-
hind him, What is it, Aguf?''
That whisper came well-nigh being Alb
dulla's last Aguf had, in his sudden dan
ger, utterly forgotten his guest, who was
sitting in the shadow on the charpoy, and
the simple question startled him terribly.
He stood glowering at him for an instant
and then new thought seized him that
filed him with fury" ABR he cried in a
fierce whisper Thou! It's thou Ell. Trai-
tor! Well. fool, pig, thou shalt go first, at
any rate
His knife was out, and he sprang across
the room at the khansamah, who fell back
wild Shrek of Police! Police!'
The blade caught Abdulla's turban, rip
ping through it and gashing the mans
cheek, but missing the vital point, and ere
Aguf could strike again there was a sudden
clatter of heavy boots on the pavement out
side and a sharp order came in Hindus-
tanee: up you go, men. Quick! The devil $
there as sure as death.. And then followed
a shrilL wailing cry Of woman: "Aguf!
Aguf! Kabardar, kabardar, police hair
Then shout followed by harsh curses:
Catch her, d-n 1t, men; she's got the
door bolted! Smash it in-get y'r shoulder
to 1t. ia Singhv' And then woman's shrek
again. as of mortal fear and anguish:
"Aguf! Run, Aguf, run!'
Aguf waited for no second blow at Abb
dulla, but opened the door of his room has
tily and not even waiting to lock 1t behind
him, turned to the door of little SOtoo, his
next neighbor. He was cool now that he
knew the worst, and worked with his skele-
ton keys with calm precision that was
wonderful. He heard the door below
give in with crash, and the wild
screams Of the woman rang out again
