ticulations directing the swinging
into place of a huge steel girder. II
his native language was energetic
American, it was sprinkled with all
manner of strange adjectives picked
up on the river banks of four con-
tinents. This time he was throwing
a bridge across the broad sluggish
stream of branch of the Indus, and
it was the toughest kind of job.
He could pit his skill against the
shifting sandbars, on which loglike
crocodiles basked in the blazing sum
shine, somehow fever germs failed
to get grip on him,-but supersti-
tons, caste prejudices, and secret
feuds of the people were as blank
wall of despair to overcome. They
would cast aside their tools and
start a riot without any apparent
cause, and refuse to 60 to work at
all unless something was done to re-
move an inauspicious omen,-a crow
with white tail feather screaming
his hoarse note from the top of re-
volving crane. Back of all this was
an invisible but none the less palpa-
BILE opposition.
Perrin finally tracked this down
to a little evil smelling temple on the
river bank-one dark night when he
found the murdered body of his best
native foreman being stripped by a
villainous looking Brahman priest,

quicksand which crept conveniently

open window, and pointed across
the veranda. and compound to the
white road beyond. On the opposite
side half nude figure could be seen
seated in the dust, with his gaze
fixed steadily on the magistrates
bungalow.
THAT fellow has been sitting
there for the last week, as you may
have noticed. He knows all about it.
No you don't!" he grasped Perrin
by the forearm; for the Americans
fist had suddenly clenched and he
had taken hasty stride forward.
1--WE can't afford to have you cap
turing any more Brahmans. That
would mean a riot, perhaps worse.
Our business here is to pacify, and
what is the life of a magistrate or
two in comparison to that beautiful
scheme of things?"
by Heavens!" muttered Perrin
through clenched teeth.
"Oh, yes" went on Mansel. mo
doubt, as you would say, you are all
worked up; but that won't help
matters. l have been given or sent
the tigers claw in some mysterious
fashion. That fellow over there
may or may not have actually done
it; but you couldn't drag a confess
sion out of him if you roasted him
alive, and he has a perfect right to
sit in the road. Like you, was
warned that it was on the way, and
l intended to speak of it privately
to you this morning. l did not want
to rouse my sisters anxiety by doing
so last night. If worst comes to
worst, and that thing appears over
the heart, / know you'll do the right
thing by Enid-see her safely out of
this place"
Perrin's hand slid from his side
and grasped the Englishman's firm
ly. Over him swept the conscious
ness of bond of union in the face of
an overwhelming and almost incon-
ceivable antagonism, dark and sim
lister as the atmosphere of a Kali
temple. But the practical view
quickly rose uppermost.
