They were the heights above Pitok Pass, and the
finger of Fate moved Doyle to the edge of the chasm.
He peered down into the sckening depths of it, and
the redhot MONDAY breath up off the burning
rocks and smote him in the face. The narrow path,
cut into the side of the cliff midway down. shone out

up, and the echo of their voices re-
bounded against the towering walls.
These, presumably, were the evil
doors who had spoiled his shot at the
bear. He glanced back at Sheramad
Khan, who confirmed the unspoken
idea with gesture. He looked down
again, and, behold! the offenders
were out of sight. They had not
rounded the bend, he knew; for he
could see almost up to the mouth
of the pass. The circumstances
seemed interesting. He beckoned
to Sheramad Khan to bring up his
other rifle, and with both beside him
he dropped fiat and waited.
The shrill neighing of a horse
from the northern end of the pass
pierced the dense stiffness. From
behind rock, just above the path,
a shaggy head topped by a dirty
turban was quickly pushed out, and
as quickly withdrawn.
The clatter of horses hoofs on the
hard earth proclaimed approaching
travellers. The gentry hidden among
the rocks were watching intently,
and on the heights above Doyle was
watching them. He judged the dis
lance to be five hundred feet, and
wondered whether he could find the
target sheer down.
THEN round the first curve came
l horseman, turbaned and
shawled, riding beautiful mare,
guiding a couple of led horses with
anxious care. The dangers of the
pass seemed to threaten him at the
outset. He looked right and left as
he entered, and his rifle was ready.
Above, Doyle presided over the
dramatic situation. There were six
cartridges on the ground beside him,
and his finger was on the trigger of
his heavier rifle. His pulses quick
ened as the horse dealer and his
team approached the ambush. Man
and animals came safely past the
first few of those who were in hiding,
and before Doyle had time to wonder
why a couple of them jumped out
and drew a rope across the path,
cutting off retreat. A second later
the rest of the party appeared and
blocked the advance The two led
horses, suddenly loosed, turned and
bolted back; only to be brought
up by the rope barrier, and neatly
and expeditiously secured by those
who had stretched it.
Shouts and answering shouts vol
leyed upward with beastlike roaring
from the pit of action. There was
a single yell of despair and defiance
from the horse dealer as he swung
round the rifle which there was
barely room to use. One man had
seized the mare by the head, one

most people loved Hutin
Doyle; but he was an idle scapegrace,
unworthy of the sentiment that he so
easily awakened. Otherwise, he would

He stopped to put his lips to the

CHERAMAD KHAN judged it to
- be his time to speak. The little
camp was some forty feet below,
and twenty. yards away.
"Horse dealer, how cometh it that
thy gun barrel is clean?" he called.
The man instinctively put his
hand on his gun; but he stared up
at Sheramad Khan, and at Doyle
who stood beside him. All the dark
faces, copper hued in the freight,
were upturned simultaneously.
"Horse dealer, there is Sahib
here, and his rifle barrel is foul. 1t
