Amber caught his breath and ex
ploded. Half a chance, you damned

words only from his tone. apparently

lay hands upon him.
The grim cackling laugh followed
his words, q hooking echo. and was
his only answer. But for all his de-
fiance, he presently heard orders Is
sued to take him up and bear him to
another chamber.
Unexpectedly he was let down upon
the floor and released. Bare feet sour
ried away in the darkness and door
closed with a resoundlng bang. He
was alone, for all he could say to the
contrary-alone and unframed. He
was more: he was astonished; he had
not been disarmed.
A food of lamplight leaped through
some opening behind him and showed
him his shadow, long and gigantic
upon the floor of earth and wall Of
stone. He wheeled about, alert as a
cat; and the sight OF his pistol hung
STEADY between the eyes Of one Who
stood at ease, with folded arms, in
an open doorway. Over his shoulder
was visible the bare brown poll of an
attendant whose lank brown arm held
aloft the lamp.

blood q man who makes no aggressive
move, and he who stood in the door

threat of the pistol. Above its sight

glance, shining out or

he had flung the man of and bounded
to his feet. There was the automatic
pistol in his coat pocket, but, he, con-
scious that many hands were reaching
out in the darkness to drag him down
again, found no time to draw 1t. He
seemed to feel the presence of the
nearest antagonist, whom he could by
no means see; for he struck out with
both bare. clenched fists, one after
the other, with his weight behind
each, and both blows landed. The
room rang with the sounds of the
struggle, the shuttle. thud, and scrape
OF feet both booted and bare, the
hoarse, harsh breathing Of the COM
batants, their groans, their whispers,
their low, tense cries.
And abruptly It was over. He was
borne down by sheer weight of num-
bers. Though. he fought with the
insanity of despair they we're too
many for him. He went a second
time to the floor, beneath a dozen half
nude bodies. Below him lay another,
with an arm eneircling his throat, the
elbow beneath his chin COMPRISING
his windpipe. Powerless to move
hand or foot, he gave up and
wondered duly why It was that q
knife had not been slipped between
his ribs-between the fifth and sixth
or in his back, beneath the left
shoulder blade, and why his gullet 70
manned unslit.
Gradually It was forced upon him
that his captors meant him no bodily
harm, for the present at least His
wrath subsidized and gave place to Gu
rioslty while he rested, regainng his
wind, and the natives squirmed away
from him, leaving one man kneeling
upon his chest and four others each
pinioning a limb.
There followed a wait, while some

dark, set face cast in a mold Of in
science and pride. A bushy black
beard was parted at his chin and
brushed stifly back. Between his thin
hard lips, parted in a shadowy smile,
his teeth cleaned white. Standing a
head taller than Amber and very
gracefully erect in clothing of a SEMI
military cut and Of regal magnlficence,
every inch of his pose bespoke power,
position, and the habit Of authority.
At once impressed and irritated by
his attitude, Amber lowered his
weapon. "Well?" he demanded queru-
lously. What do you want? What's
your part in this infamous outrage?"
On the others face the faint smile
became more definite. He nodded nom
chalantly at Amber's pistol. MY

in English, his tone courteous and
suave.

The hint was lost upon Amber. "A

look, the money-lender rose. Come,

A voice cried out behind Amber
"Heh!"-more a squeal than cry.
lntuitively, rs at signal OF danger,
he leaped aside. simultaneously
something like a beam Of light sped
past his head. The goldsmith uttered
one dreadful choking scream, and
went to his knees. For as many as
three seconds he swayed back and
forth, his features terribly contorted,
his thin old hands plucking at the
handle of broadbladed dagger which
had transfixed his throat. Then he
tumbled forward on his face. kicking.
There followed single instant OF
suspense and horror, then a mad rush
of feet as the street stampeded into
the shop. Voices clamored to the
skies. Somehow the lights went out.
Amber started to fight his way out.

he heard the latch click behind him,

CHAPTER X.
Maharana Of Khandawar.

Both hand and voice might well
have been Labertouche's; Amber be-
lieved they were. And the darkness
rendered visual Identification impossi-
BILE. No shadow of doubt troubled
him as he yielded to the urgent hand,
and permitted himself to be dragged,
more than led, through the reeking,
milling mob, whose numbers seemed
each instant augmented. He had
thought, duly, to find 1t a dificult
matter to worm through and escape,
but somehow his guide seemed to
have little trouble.
Ever since that knife had flown
past his cheek, his instinct Of self
preservation had been dominated by
serene confidence that Pink Satin was
at hand to steer him In safety away
from the brawl. He thanked his stars
for Labertouche-for the hand that
clasped his arm and the voice that
spoke guardedly in his ear.
And then, by the light Of the street,
he discovered that his gratitude had
been premature and misplaced. His
guide had fallen pace behind and
was shouldering him along with al
most frantic energy; but a glance
aside showed Amber, in Labertouche's
stead, q chunky little Gurkha in the
fatigue uniform Of his regiment Of the
British army Of India. Pink Satin
was nowhere In sight, and it was i'm
mediately apparent that an attempt
to find him among the teeming hun.
dreds before the goldsmith's stall
would be as futile as foolish-if not
fatal. Yet Amber's impulse was to
wait, and he Notwithstanding

gurkha, who fairly danced with ex-

out OF the bazar road
and into a narrow black alley.
simultaneously Amber heard a cry
90 up, shrill above the clamor Of the
mob, screaming that a white sailor
mad knitted the goldsmith. And he
turned pale beneath his tan.
