drew rein and diSmOunted, for he

the Khyber after dark consists inva-

the mere words afterward, and the
wise man takes precautions.
"Off with the mules packs!" he or
dered, and the men stood round and
stared. Darya Khan, leaning on the

For answer the fellow grinned from
ear to ear and thrust the rifle barrel
forward insolently. King, with the
movement of determination that a man
makes when about to force conclu-
sions, drew up his sleeves above the
wrist. At that instant the moon shone
through the mist and the gold bracelet
glittered in the moonlight

another word he laid down his rifle
and went to help Off-load the mules.
