Careless Use Of

This dries the scalp. makes the hair

The best thing for steady use is Just

With arms like the jaws of a wise

fellow screamed, and the Pathan shout
ed "Ho!" But he did no murder yet
He let his victim grow fully conscious
of the fate in store for him, holding
him so that his frantic kicks were
squandered on thin air. He turned
him slowly, until he was upside down,
and so, perpendicular. face-outward,
he hove him forward like a dead log.
He stood and watched his victim fall
two or three thouand feet before
troubling to turn and resume both
rifles; and 1t was not until then, as if
he had been mentally conscious of
each move, that the mullah turned to
look. and seeing only one man nodded.
Good" he grunted. "Shabash!"

Then he turned his head to stare
into Kings face, with the scrutiny Of
trader appraising loot. Fire leaped
up behind his calculating eyes. And
without word passing between them.
King knew that this man as we'll as
Yasmini was in possession OF the Sc
cret OF the Sleeper. Perhaps he knew
1t 6rst; perhaps she snatched the
keeping Of the secret from him. At
all events he knew it and recognized
Kings likeness to the Sleeper, for his
eyes betrayed him. He began to
stroke his beard monotonously with
one hand. The rife. that he pretend
ed to be holding, really leaned against
his back and with the free hand he
was making signals.
King knew we'll he was making sig
nels. But he knew too that in Vas
minis power, her prisoner, he had no
chance at all of interfering with her
plans. Having grounded on the bot
tom OF impotence, so to speak, any
tide that would take him off must
be good tide. He pretended to be
aware of nothing, and to be particular
ly unaware that the Pathan, with a
rife in each hand, was pretending to
come casually up the path.
In minute he was covered by a
rifle. In another minute the mullah
had dashed his hands. In five minutes
more the women were loaded again
with his belongings and they were all
halfway down the track in single file,
the mullah bringing up the rear. de-
scending backward with rife ready
against surprise. as If he expected
Yasmini to pounce out any minute to
the rescue.
They entered tunnel and wound
along it, stepping at short intervals
aver the bodies of three stabbed SEN
tries. The Pathan spurned them with
his heel as he passed In the glare
at the tunnels mouth King tripped
over the body Of the fourth man and
fell with his chin beyond the edge Of
a sheer precipice.
They were on ledge above the wa

projection on the cliffs side. for kim

a sponge or hornets nest on IT,

The Pathan laugh ed and came back
