There was never a song like that.
All the sagas Of the Vikings, the
ballads OF the Sikhs and the chants
of the Afghans were weak things COM
pared to that. Skald or troubadour
could never have written that. Time

as I sat there like a man in a dream
that the woman with the topaz eyes

me II I would like the Red Face. 1

She turned on me suddenly and
looked into my face.
"Of what are you thinking?" she
asked.
o the power OF hate" I said. Then
after a pause I said boldly: what
possessed the big fool to do it?"
l thought she was going to spring
at me when l put the question, but
she controlled herself with an effort.

had offered 1t to me! Fate and hate
were leading me to a thing that had
been hunted by all the iron jawed
Adventures that had ever spurred or
sailed into the unknown.
The dawn came up out OF the Indian
Ocean In a great wave OF flame and
the woman sprang TO her feet. I don't
think she slept much either.
Come along" she cried. I'VE have
far TO go to-day"
The mountains looked like blue
chiffon tackled on to the bottom OF the
wine red sky as we turned toward
them and the woman struck out with

followed without n murmur. I didn't

She turned on me and l stopped.

I'd give my soul for it,
There was a light in her eyes that
made me think of a woman who had
stabbed her husband at Kisamayu,
and 1t was the light that enabled me
to get a grip on things. l remem-
bered having heard hat the men Of
the Gamant tribes have a habit of
putting away their wives when a
prettier woman swings up on the hori-
zon, and l guessed that the sand hum
mock OF the coast was a mighty good
place TO put a who was not
wanted. You bet it was.
And l guessed a bit further thar
that. I came to the conclusion that
the guy with the black beard on the
big dahabeah was the husband Of the
lady with the topaz eyes, and then I
got a bunch that she knew OF the
hiding place Of the Red Face OF Feer-
ish All. Blackboard was no ordinary

mighty unlucky for him II her lady
ship had a bunch OF his secrets up her
sleeve.
A wide faced moon swung up over
the hills as we sat on the beach, and
all OF a sudden the woman started to
sing the Song OF the Red Face. l had
heard bits OF 1t before, but they were
mighty small bits when I compared
them to her chantey. My, yes! Hers
was a son of songs.
1t seeped through my skin and in
toxicated me. 1t brought back the
past and sent the horsemen Of Feer-
ish Ali galloping down the pearly sky.
l heard the Moslem warriors charge
and watched the desert tribes scamper
madly across the hot sands when the
Face OF Feerish spurted fire as he led
his cavalry after them.
1t was a song full of blood and fire,
or charging hosts and laundering
squadrons, of swinging axes and fash
ing swords. of whizzing spears and
crashing shields. There was never
such a song.
And the wonder of wonders, !

the horrible fascination Of the crevice
would make me take a dive into the
place.
The woman looked at me and
smiled, then she walked forward to
the end OF the bridge. l felt seasick
and worse. Yet bet I did. She was
stepping on to that bit Of flimsy rope
work hat swung over the chasm, and
I yelled out to her as I glanced at the
mile deep drop beneath the cobweb OF
hemp. Imagination pictured her
dropping through 5000 feet of air, and
I got a feeling that made my head
swell.
Come back!" I yelled. Come
back! You're mad"
It's perfectly safe" she laughed.

to walk over that cobweb."

She remained silent for a while,
then she started to chant a part of the
sons hat told of how Feerish rode
alone at the head OF his riders and
how the desert hordes fled because
they thought that fire came from his
face. She sang it standing upon the
bridge, and while she sang / crawled
toward the place where the hemp
cables were tied to the rocks. I
couldn't resist that song.
l clutched the ropes and looked
down at the depths that came up
against me like a cold hand. The
place set me trembling as If l had a
fit of ague.

The Rocking Stone Is on the opposite

Now when she mentioned the Rock

the truth when she said that she knew
the hiding place of the Face. Ras

opium joint in the Place of the Nine

to me OF the Rocking Stone that hides
