tell you! Perhaps she will let you
see! Who knows? She is q woman Of
resource and ey.~ectedness-let her
women dance for sou a while"
King nodded. Then he got up and
laid the knife back on the little table.
A minute or so later he noticed that
at a sign from Rewa Gunga a woman
left the great window place and spir-
tied the knife away.
May l have a sheet Of paper?" he
asked, for he knew that another fight
for his self-command was due.
Rewa Gunga gave an order, and
maid brought scented paper on a sill
yer tray. He drew out his own fouu-
tain pen, and since his one object was
to give his brain employment he wrote
down list of the names he had MEM
Orized in the train on the journey from
Peshawur, not thinking of q use for
the list until he had finished. Then.
though, real use occurred to him.
While he began to write more than
a dozen dancing women swept into the
room from behind the silk hangings in
concerted movement that was all
1.-the slumberous grace. Wood-wind
music called to them from the great
deep window. They began to chant,
still dreamily, and with the chant the
dance began, in and out, round and
round, lazily. ever so lazily, wreathed
in buoyant gossamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalwood smoke
they waited into rings.
King watched them and listened to
! their chant until he began to recognize
the strain on the eye muscles that pre-
cedes the mesmeric spell. Then he
wrote and read what he had written
and wrote again.
What have you written?" asked a
quiet voice at his ear; and he turned
to look straight in the eyes Of Rewa
Gunga, who had leaned forward to
read over his shoulder. Just for one
second he lowered on the brink of
quick defeat. Having escaped the
Scylla of the dancing women, Charyb-
dis waited for him in the shape of eyes
that were pools of hot mystery. 1t was
the sound of his own voice that brought
|
his will for him unbound.
Read it, won't you?" he laughed
IF you know, take this pen and mark
the names of whichever of those meI
are still in Delhi"
Rewa Gunga took pen and paper ant
set mark against some thirty of tht
names, for King had a manner tha
disarmed refusal.
King began to watch the dance
again, for it did not feel safe to lool
too long into the Rangar's eyes. 1t wa
not wise just then to look too long a
anything or to think too long on an.
one subject.
'Ismail is slow about returning,
said the Rangar
I wrote at the foot of the tar" sal
King, that they are to detain hir
there until the answer comes"

Annie Fruit Of MANY Uses

There is no fruit that lends itself
to so many varied uses as the apple.
1t may. be evaporated or dried and
kept an indefinite period and then
cooked in much the same way as
fresh fruit. There are also many by
products. The juice is pressed and
used according to its age and stages
of fermentation as sweet cider, haro
cider or vinegar. The whole apple
and even the parings from the evap-
orators are used for apple butter, jel-
lies, Jams, etc, and in recent years
the culls and cores from the evapo-
rators have been dried and sold for
81 a ton for export to Europe and re-
turned to US later in the form of
high priced imported wines"

Then suddenly, us if she had done it
thousand times before and surprised
thousand people, a little nut-brown
maid parted the middle pair of cur
tains and said "Salaam! smiling with
teeth that were as white as porcelain.
King looked scarcely interested and
not at all disturbed.
Rewa Gunga hurried past him,
TRUSTING the little maid aside, and led
the way. King followed him into a
long room, whose walls were hung
with richer silks than any he remem-
bered to have seen. In a great wide
window to one side some twenty wom-
en- began at once to make flute music.
Silken punkahs swung from chains,
waiting back and forth a cloud of san
dalrrOod smoke that yelled the whole
scene in mysterious, scented mist.

led into rooms beyond. He turned his

A wolf was kept a prisoner in cage
in a park where many people came to
look at him and be amused.
One day it grew very hot and the
wolf dug down into his sawdust in
search of moist earth wherewithal to
cool himself. But he found nothing
better than the metal bottom of his
cage, whereat the people laughed,
deeming his discontinue good sport.
Presently, however, the war brought
about shortage of food and another
day the keeper opened the door of the
cage "Come out !" he commanded.
''We can't feed you any longer and so
we're going to shoot you"
The wolf was glad. "Now 1 know
why they call it a war of liberation ~
he thought to himself.

Watching the Hangar less furtively,
but even less obviously, King was
aware that his eyes were nearly closed,
as if they were not interested. The
fingers that clasped his knee drummed
on it indifferently, seeing which King
allowed himself to smile.
"Never mind" he told Ismail. "It is
no matter. 1t is ever well to think
twice before speaking once, for thus
mistakes die stillborn. Only the mon
key-folk thrive on quick answers-is it
not so? Thou art man of many inches
of thew and sinew-hey, but thou
art a man! If the heart within those
great ribs of thine is true as thine
arms are strong 1 shall be fortunate
| to have thee for servant I"
"Aye!" said the Afridi. "But what
are words? She has said I am thy
servant, and to hear her is to obey!"
Then, take me a telegram ~ said
King.
He began to write at once on a half
sheet of paper that he tore from let
ter he had in his pocket, transposing
into cypher as he went along.
Yasmini has gone North. Is there any
| reason at your end why l should not
| follow her at once?
He addressed it in plain English to
his friend the general at Peshawur,
and handed it to Ismail, directing him
carefully to government office where
the cypher signature would be recog-
nized and the telegram given prece-
dence.
Ismail stalked off with it, striding
like Moses down from Sinai-hook-

tempt on his sovereign self-command.
Now he chose to notice the knife
on the ebony table as if he had moi
seen it before. He got up and reached
for it and brought it back, turning il
over and over in his hand
"a strange knife" he said.
''Yes-from Khinjan," said Rews
Gunga, and King eyed him as one vol
eyes another.
"What makes you say it is from
Khinjan?'
"She brought it from Khinjan cave!

dark that to see was scarcely possible
after the hot glare outside. Dimly
King made out Rewa Gunga mounting
stairs to the left and followed him.
When he guessed himself two stories
at least above road level, there was a
sudden blaze of reflected light and he
blinked at more mirrors than he could
count. Curtains were reflected In each
mirror, and little glowing lamps, SO
cunningly arranged that it was not DOS
sible to guess which were real and
which were not. King stood still.

CHAPTER III.

Delhi boasts q round half-dozen rail-
way stations, all Of them designed with
regard to war, so that to King there
was nothing unexpected In the fact
that the train had brought him to an
unexpected station. He plunged into
Its crowd much as a man in the mood
might plunge into n whirlpool. The
station screamed echoed, reverberated,
hummed. At one minute the whole
building shook to the thunder of
grinning regiment; an instant later It
clattered to the wrought-steel ham,
mer OF a thousand hoofs, as led troop
horses danced into formation to invade
the waiting trucks. Soldiers Of nearly
every Indian military caste stood about
everywhere. Down the back Of each
platform Tommy Atkins stood in long
strnight lines. talking or munching
grent sandwiches or smoking.
Threading his waylin and out among
the motley swarm with great black
cheroot between his teeth and sweat
running into his eyes from his helmet
band. Athelstan King strode at ease
ut -amused-awalke-
and almost awfully happy. He was
not in the lenst less happy because
perfectly awnre that native was fol-
lowing him Mt a distance. although he
did wonder how the native, had con-
trived 10 pass within the lines. At the
end Of fifteen minutes there was not a
glib stan officer there who could have
deceived him as to the numbers and
destination of the force entralning.
"Kerachil" he told himself, chewing
the butt Of his cigar and keeping well
ahead of the shadowing native. He
did not have to return salutes. because
he did not look for them. Very few
people noticed him at all, although he
was recognized once or twice by for
mer messmates. At his leisure-In his
own way. that was devious and like a
string Of mirncles-he filtered toward
the telegraph office. The native who
had followed him all this time drew
closer. but he did not let himself be
troubled by that.
He whispered proof Of his identity
TO the telegraph clerk, who was Roya
engineer, new to that job that morn
Ing. and sealed telegram was handed
TO him at once. Because 1t was war

Gerald was much depressed On
bringing his monthly report card home
from school at being scolded severely
by his parents because it showed his
department had only been so per cent
out of a possible 100, and thinking she
had punished him enough the mother,
to cheer him, asked:
"Well, what did you learn this month
In school, Gerald? Something nice.
I'm sure.'
Didn't learn nothin'," he pouted.
"Oh, you surely must have learned
something" the mother insisted.
"Well, nothin', only just how to be

more convenient they find to turn up
their sleeve and note the time than it
is to dig in their jeans to discover it.

of the camp at Van Cortlandt Park, it
looks as if the cherished fad will be
sent to the discard. "The old man."

France. "This afternoon" writes an

PrickIev Pear a Pest.

In Queensland the prickly pear is
literally overrunning millions of acres
of rich land. All efforts to eradicate
the pest have proved futile. The rapid
spread of the thorny plants and the i'm
possibility of killing them off so that
the land that they occupy can be uti-
lized for farming or grazing purposes
has so alarmed the government of
Queensland, as well as that of the COM
monwealth itself, that scientists have
been invited to study the perplexing
situation with the view or devising
ways and means for Kidding the coun-
try of the ruinous pest.
