Now he chose to NOTES the knife
on the ebony table as If he had not
seen 1t before. He got up and reached
for II and brought it back. turning 1t
over and over in his hand.
"A strange knife" he said.
"Yes-from Khinjan," said Rewa
Gunga, and King eyed him as one wolf
eyes another.
"What makes you say it is from

"She brought it from Khiuian caves

laid the knife back on the little table.
A minute or SO later he noticed that
at sign from Rewa Gunga a woman
left the great window place and splr-
tied the knife away.

asked, for he knew that another fight
for his self-command was due.

tain pen, and since his one object was
TO give his brain employment, he wrote
down list of the names he had men,

though, real use occurred to him.

Within ten miv2tes Hyde was asleep,
snoring prodlsis1sly. Then King pulled
ont the kaifa again and -udied it for
half 81 hoxf. The blade was of bronze.
With N edge hammered to the keen
nsss of a razor. The hilt was of near
" pure gold, In the form of woman
dancing. The whole thing was so ex-
0uisitely wrought that age had only
softpned the lines, without in the least
impairlng them. 1t looked like one of
those Grecian toys with which Roman
women of Nero's day stabbed their
lovers. But that was not why he be-
gan to whistle very softly to himself.
Presently he drew out the generals
package of papers. with the photograph
on the top. He stood up, TO hold both
knife and papers close to the light in
the roof.
It needed no great stretch of imagi
nation to suggest a likeness between
the woman of the photograph and the
other Of the golden knife-hilt. And
nobody. looking at him then, would
have dared suggest he lacked magma
ton.
II the knife had not been so ancient
they might have been portraits of the
same woman, in the same disguise,
taken at the same time.
"She knew I had been chosen to
work with her. The general sent her
word that ! am coming" he muttered
to himself. There must have been
spy watching at Peshawur, who wired
70 Rawal-Pindi for this man to jump
the train and 60 on with the job. Why
should she give the man a knife with
her own portrait on it? Is she queen
Of a secret society? Well-we shall
see"
He lay back with his head on the
pillow and before five minutes more
had gone he was asleep. His mobile
face in repoSe looked Roman. for the
sui had tanned his skin and his nose
was aquiline. In museums, where
sculpfured heads of Roman generals
and emperors stand around the wall
on pedeStals, - would not be difficult
to p'>6 several that bore more than n
FAINT resemblance to him. He had
breadth and depth of forehead and a
lo'l that lent itself to smiles as well
IS StenneSs and a throat that ex-
pressed manly determination in every
nodded line.
He slept like boy until dawn; and
ne and Hyde had scarcely exchanged
another dozen words when the train
screamed next day into Delhi station.
Then he saluted stifIiy and was gone.

dance began, in and out. round and

In bu0yant Eossamer that was scarcely

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 bad written
ana wrote ngain,
"What have you wrtten?' 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
him back to the world again and saved
his will for him unbound.
Read II, won't you?" he laughed.
"If you know, take this pen and mark
the names Of whichever Of those men
are still In Delhi"
Rewa Gunga took pen and paper and
SET q mark against some thirty Of the
names, for King had a manner that
disnrmed refusal.
King began to watch the dance
again, for it did not feel safe to look
too long into the Hangar eyes. It was
not wise just then to look too long at
anything or 10 think too long on any
one subject,
