YOU kindlee tell me, sir where l could
find Captain King sahib?'
Certainly" King answered him. lie
looked glad to be of help. Are you
travelling on this train?
The question sounded like politeness
yelling from the lips Of unsuspicion.
"Yes, sir. / am travelling from this
place where / have spent few days.

"How did you know King sahlb is
on the truin?' King asked him, smii-
ing so genially that even the ponce
could not have charged him with more
than curiosity.
"By telegram, sir. Ny brother had
the misfortune to miss Captain King
sahib at Peshawur and therefore sent
telegram to me asking me to do what

Judging by the sparkle in his eyes as
he looked away, he could see lot.
But the native could not see his eyes
at that instant. although he tried to.
He looked back at the train, giving
the man good chance to study his
face in profile.
See that carriage?" he asked, point
ing. The fourth first-class carriage
from the end? Well-there are only
two of us in there; I'm Major Hyde,
and the other is Captain King. I'll tell
Captain King to look out for you"
ooh, thank you, sir :" said the native
oilly. you are most kind! am your
humble servant, sir"
King nodded good-by TO him, his dark
eyes in the shadow Of the khaki helmet
seeming scarcely interested any longer.
Couldn't you find another berth? p
Hyde asked him angrily when he
stepped back into the compartment
! what We're you out there looking
for?"
King smiled back at him blandly.
II think there are railway thieves
on the train" he announced without
any effort ut relevance. He might
not have heard the question.
Hyde snorted and returned to his
seat in the silence of unSpeakablt
scorn. But presently he opened suit

beneath his pillow; not at all con

but he could not hear the door click
shut again.
For about FIVE minutes, while the
train swayed headlong into Indian
darkness, the man stood listening and
watching Kings face. He stood so
near that King recognized him for the
one who had accosted him on Rawal-
Pindi platform. And he could see the
outline of the knife-hilt that the mans
fingers clutched underneath his shirt.
He felgned sleep so successfully that
the native turned away at last.
