He drew out his wonderful cigarette

who hesitated. and then helped him

Major Courtenay has just told me-"
said King that nobody resembling
Yasmini has gone up the pass recently.
Can you explain?"
no you mean, can / explain why
the major failed to see her? Pom my

he? He may pack the Khyber so full
Of men that there's only standing room

The Hangar was looking past him,
facing the great gorge that lets the
north Of Asia trickle down into India
and back again when weather and the
tribes permit. His eyes had become
interested in the distance. King won
dered why-and looked-and saw.
Courtenay saw, too.
'Hail that man and bring him here ~
he ordered.
Ismail, keeping his distance with
ears and eyes peeled heard instantly
and hurried off Fifteen minutes later
an Afridi stood scowling in front Of
them with little letter in a cleft stick
in his hand. He held it out and Cour-
tenay took it and shifted.
'Well-Tll be blessed! A note"-
sn;ff-sniff-"on scented paper Sniff
sniff! Carried down the Khyher In a
split stick Take it, Knights ad-
dressed to you"
King obeyed and shifted too. It
smelt of something far more subtle
than musk. He recognized the same
strange scent thar had been waited
from behind YaSmini's silken hancings
in her room in Delhi. As he unfolded
the note-it was not sealed-he found
time for a swift glance at Rewa Gun
gas face. The Hangar seemed inter
eSted and aroused. The note, in Eng
lish ran:
Dear Captain King: Kindly he
quick to follow me, because there is
much talk of a lashkar getting ready for
a raid. l shall wait for you in Khinjan
whittier my messenger shall show the
way. Please let him keep his rifle. Trust
him, and Rewa Gunga and my thirty
whom you brought with you. The mes
senger's name is Darya Kahn. Your sery-
ant Yasmni."
He passed the note to Courtenay,
who read it and passed it back.
"Ill find out" the major muttered,
"how she got up the pass without my
knowing it. Somebody's tail shall be
