CHAPTER X.

Even with the man with the stom-
ach ache mounted on the spare horse
for the sake of extra speed (and he
was not suffering one-fifth so much as
he pretended) with Ismail to urge,
and King to coax, and the fear Of
mountain death on every side of them,
they were the part of a night and a
day and a night and part of another
day in reaching Khinjan.
At night and at noon they slept fit
fully at the chance-met shrine of some
holy man. The "HillS" are full of
them, marked by fiuttering rags that
can be seen for miles away; and
though the Quran's meaning must be
stretched to find excuse, and hillmen
are adept at stretching things and hold
those Shrines as sacred as the book it.
self. Men who would almost rather
cut throats than gamble regard them
as sanctuaries. So a man may rest
in temporary peace even on the road
to Khinian, although Khinian and
peace have nothing whatever in COM
mon.
1t was at such a shrine, surrounded
ny tattered rags tied to sticks, that
futtered in the wind three or four
thousand feet above Khyber level. that
King drew Ismail into conversation,
and deity forced on him the role of

asked. for King had limited at his in

back.
The door slammed. The one-eyed

stone, and the procession waited

bends, with ahou, rs much reverence
as statesmen show for what they keep
/ in stock. The w nl~ ,ut slid 10 one

/ cut but wei laid blocks il appeared
to reach unbrokcn across the whole
! width Of the mosques interior.
On the floor lny mallet a peculiar
thing Of bronze, cast in one piece,
handle and all. The mullah took it in
his hand and struck the stone floor
sharply once~-then twice again-then
three times-then dozen times in
quick succession. The floor rang hol-
low at that spot
After about minute there came
one answering hammer stroke from
beyond the wall Then the mullah laid
the mallet down and though King
ached to pick 1t UP and examine 1t he
| did not dare. His business was to at
tract as little attention to himself as

his hands and looked revcrent. as If

Through his horn-rimmed spectacles
his eyes looked far away and dreamy.
But ii would have been mistake to
suppose that detail was escaping

The irregular lines in the masonry
began to be more pronounced. All at

right and left. Judging by the angle
of the two divisions they became one
again before going very far.
The mullah stood aside and mo-
toned King to enter But the one
eyed thrust himself between Darya
Khan and Ismail, pushed King aside
and took the lead.
'Nay!" he said, Il am responsible
to her"
1t was the first time he had spoken
and he appeared to resent the waste
of words.
