Then Ineligible dreams ceased al
together. and he slept like dead man,
but with vague suggestion ever with
him that Yasmini was not very far
away, and that she was interested in
him to a point that was actually en-
barrassing. 1t was like the ether
dream he once dreamt in hospital.
When he awoke 1t was after dawn,
and light shone down the passage into
his cave.
'Ismail!" he shouted, for he was
thirsty. But there was no answer.
"Darya Khan!"
Again there was no answer. He
called each Of the other men by name
with the same result
He got up and realized then for the
first time that he had not undressed
himself the night before. His head
felt heavy, and although he did not
believe he had been drugged, there
was q scent he half-recognized that
permeated the cave, and even over
came the dreadful atmosphere that
the sick of yesterday had left behind.
He decided to go to the cave mouth,
summon his men, who were no doubt
sleeping as he had done, sniff the
fresh air outside and come back to
try the scent again: he would know
then whether his nose were deceiving
him. But there was no Ismail near
the entrance-no Darya Khan nor
any of the other men. The horse was
gone So was the mule. So was the
harness, and everything he had, ex-
cept the drugs and instruments and
the presents the sick had given him;
he had noticed all those still lying
about in confusion when he woke.
"Ismail!" he shouted at the top of
his lungs, thinking they might all be
outside. He heard man hawk and
spit close to the entrance. and went
out to see. A man whom he had
never seen before leaned on a maya
zine rife and eyed him as a tiger eyes
its prey.
mo farther!" he growled, bringing
his rifle to the port.
"Why not?" King asked him.
Allah! When camel dies In the
Khyber do the kites ask why? Go

bracelet, that had always gained him
at least civility from every man who
saw it. He held up his left wrist and
knew that instant why it felt uncom-
Portable. The bracelet had disappear

hunt for it. and the strange scent
greeted him again. In spite Of the
surrounding stencil of drugs and filthy
wounds, there was no mistaking 1t.
II it had been her special scent In
Delhi, as Saunders swore it was. and
her special scent on the note Darya
Khan had carried down the Khyber,
then 1t was hers now, and she had
been in the cave.
He hunted high and low and found
no bracelet. His pistol was gone, too,
and his cartridges, but not the dagger,

He let the thought sink in, until
the very lees of shame tasted like

TUMULTY IN STORY DENIAL
Brands As False German Propaganda
Regarding Self.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Joseph p.
Tumulty, secretary to the President.
has issued the following statement:
For several days friends have
written, telegraphed and telephoned
me from all parts of the country
stating that rumors are being assid-
uously spread alleging that / had
been imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth.
All sorts of fanciful tales are being
passed from mouth to mouth by in
nocent persons who are the victims
of a systematic insidious propaganda
to weaken confidence in officials of
the federal government. Officials Of
the Department of Justice are investi-
eating the origin of this conspiracy,
to determine who have been guilty Of
actually starting this falsehood."
1t is known here that Mr.. Tumulty
is at this time particularly in the
confidence of the President.

LLOYD GEORGE SCORED
Attacked BY Asquith In House
of Commons Speech.
Lord Northcliffe's Papers Lead Press
In Criticism of Premier's
"Brutal Frank" Speech.

London, Nov. 15.-Because of what
he termed his brutal frank"
speech in Paris indications are evil
dent of an approaching bitter attack
on Premier Lloyd George.
Former Premier Asquith, plainly
greatly excited, demanded in the
house of commons when the premier
would make a statement explaining
his very grave" speech.
This is the first time Asquith has
taken a position apparently hostile
and critical of Lloyd-George since AS
quith was retired as prime minister.
Lord NoFthcliffe, one Of Lloyd
Georges strongest supporters in the
past, has only just arrived back in
England. The press is generally
criticizing the utterances of Lloyd
George, led by the Northcliffe press.
Asquith's demand was greeted with
cheers in common. II was apparent
that hitter debate will follow in
which Lloyd-George will probably be
forced to fight desperately to main
tain the position he has taken as re-
CARDS the joint allied council.
