Within ten miw3.es Hyde was asleep,
snoring prodiSSsasly. Then King pulled
ont the knife Agaik and -udied 1t for
half -: hnEf. The blade was Of bronze.
with 81 edge hammered to the Keen
ness of q razor. The hilt was Of near
ay pure gold, in the form of woman
dancing. The whole thing was so ex-
quisitely wrought that age had only
softened the lines, without In the least
fmpairlng them. It 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
tiOn.
If 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 I am coming" he muttered
90 himself "There must have been a
spy watching at Peshawur, who wired
to Rawal-Pindi for this man to Jump
the train and go on with the job. Why
should she give the man knife with
her own portrait on it? Is she queen
of 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
sun had tanned his skin and his nose
was aquiline. In museums, where
sculptured heads of Roman generals
and emperors stand around the wall
on pedestals, - would not be difficult
to pick several that bore more than a
faint resemblance to him. He had
breadth and depth of forehead and a
jowl that lent itself to smiles as well
as sternness, and a throat that ex-
pressed manly determination in every
snolded 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 stiff1y and was gone.

CHAPTER Nv.

It was musty smelling entrance, so
dark that to see was scarcely possible
after the hot glare outside. Dimly
King made out Rewa Gunga mounting
stairs to the left and followed him.
When he guessed himself two stories
at least above road level, there was
sudden blaze of reflected light and he
blinked at more mirrors than he could
count. Curtains were reflected in each
mirror, and little glowing lamps, so
cunningly arranged that it was not pos
sible to guess which were real and
which were not. King stood still.
Then suddenly, as if she had done it
thousand times before and surprised
thousand people, little nut-brown
maid parted the middle pair Of cur
tains and said "Salaam!' smiling with
teeth that were as white as porcelain.
King looked scarcely interested and
not at all disturbed.
Rewa Gunga Hurried past him,
thrusting the little maid aside, and led
the way. King followed him into
long room, whose walls were hung
with richer silks than any he remem-
bered to have seen. In a great wide
window to one side some twenty wom-
en- began at once to make flute music.
Silken punkahs swung from chains,
waiting back and forth cloud of SAN
dalwood smoke that yelled the whole
scene in mysterious, scented mist.
BE welcome!" laughed Rewa Gun
ga; II am to do the honors, since she
Is not here. Be seated, sahib."
King chose divan at the rooms
farthest end, near tall curtains that
led into rooms beyond. He turned his
back toward the reason for his choice.
On little ivory-inlaid ebony table
about ten feet away lay a knife, that
was almost the exact duplicate of the
one inside his shirt. He could sense
hushed expectancy on every side
could feel the eyes Of many women
fixed on him-and began to draw on
his guard IS a fighting man draws on
arlnor There and then he deliberately
set himself to resist mesmerism, which
is the EaSt's chief weapon.
Rewa Gunga, perfectly at home.

deep window. They began to chant,
still dreamily, and with the chant the
dance began, in and out, round and
round, lazily, ever SO lazily, wreathed
in buoyant gossamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalWOOd smoke
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 had written
and wrote again.
"What have you written?" asked
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. It was
the sound of his own voice that brought
him back to the world again and saved
his will for him unbound.
Ncdu 4ts Won you! uc AduSucu4
s'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 a mark against some thirty Of the
names, for King had manner tl4
disarmed refusal
King began to watch the dance
again, for it did not feel safe to look
too long into the Rangers eyes. It was
not wise just then to look too long at
anything or to think too long on any
one subject.
''Ismail is slow about returning"
said the Hangar.
II wrote at the foot Of the tar" said
King, "that they are to detain him
there until the answer comes.'

Now he chose to notice the knife
on the ebony table as If he had not
seen 1t before. de got up and reached
for 1t and brought it back, turning IL
over and over in his hand.
ga strange knife" he said.
3Yes-from Khinjan," said Rewa
Gunga, and King eyed him as one wolf
eyes another.
'sWhat makes you say It is from
KhinjanY
''She brought it from Khinjan caves
herself! There is another knife that
matches It, but that is not here. That
bracelet you now wear, sahib, is from
Khinjan caves tool She has the secret

Hills Is there" King answered. SIS

house"
Rewa Gunga laughed
:'Ask her, sahib Perhaps she will
tell you! Perhaps she will let you
see! Who knows? She is woman of
resource and unexpectedness-let her
women dance for you WHILE"
King nodded. Then he got up and
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 spir-
tied the knife away.
MAY have a sheet Of paper?" he
asked, for he knew that another fight
for his self command was due.
Rewa Gunga gave an order, and q
maid brought scented paper on sill
yer tray. He drew out his own foun-
tain pen, and since his one object was
to give his brain employment, he wrote
down list Of the names he had mem.
orized in the train on the journey from
Peshawur, not thinking Of use for
the list until he had finished. Then.
though, real use occurred to him.
While he began to write more than
dozen dancing women swept into the
room from behind the silk hangings In
concerted movement that was all

engineer, new to that job that morn
ing, and sealed telegram was handed
to him at once. Because 1t was war
time, and the censorship had closed
on India like a throttling string, it
was not In code. So the Mira Ali, OF
the Fort, Bombay, to whom 1t was
addressed, could be expected to read
between the lines.

inclined to stampede owing to bad scare
received north Of Delhi. Take all pre-
cautions and notify Abdul.
"Good!" he chuckled. "Let's hope
we get Abdul too. I wonder who he
isl"
Still uninterested In the man who
Swallowed him, he walked back to the
Office window and wrote two tele-
grams; one to Bombay, ordering the
arrest Of AIS Mira of the Fort, with
an urgent adnonition to discover who
his man Abdul might be, and to seize
him as soon as found; the other to the
station in the north, insisting on close
confinement for SULLIVAN.
That being all the urgent business,
he turned leisurely to face his shadow,
and the native met his eyes with the
engaging frankness Of an old friend,
coming forward with Outstretched
hand. They did not shake hands, but
the man made a signal with his fingers
that is known to not more than dozen
men in all the world, and that changed
the situation altogether.
sWalk with me-" said King, and the
man fell into stride beside him.
He was a Rangar-which is to say a
Rajput who, or whose ancestors had
! turned Mohammedan. Like many Raj
puts he was not big man, but he
looked fit and wiry; his head scarcely
came above the level of Kings chin,
although his turban distracted atten-
ton from the fact. The turban was OF
silk and unusually large.
The whitest Of well-kept teeth,
cleaning regularly under little black
waxed mustache betrayed no trace of
| betelnut or other nastiness. King was
not SO sure that the eyes were brown,
and he changed his opinion about their
color a dozen times within the hour.
Once he would even have sworn they
were green.
The man was regular Hangar
dandy, of the type that can be seen
playing polo almost any day at Mount
Abu-that gets into mischief with a
grace due to practice and heredity-

Tor naClVeS TO mint at possible QlSSOlu"
ton of the Anglo-Indian government.
Everybody knows that the British will
not govern India forever, but the Brit
ish-who know it best Of all, and work
to that end most fervently-are the
only ones encouraged to talk about it.
For a few minutes after that Rewa
Gunga held his peace, while the car
riage swayed at breakneck speed
through the swarming streets. King,
watching and saying nothing, did not
believe for second the lame expla-
nation Yasmini had left behind. She
must have some good reason for wish
ing to be first up the Khyber, and he
was very sorry indeed she had slipped
away. It might be only jealousy, yet
why should she be jealous?
It was the next remark Of the
Rangers that set him entirely on his
guard, and thenceforward whoever
could have read his thoughts would
have been more than human. He had
known of that thought-reading trick
ever since his ayah (native nurse)
taught him to lisp Hindustanee; just
as surely he knew that It's impudent
use was intended to sap his belief in
himself.
''Tll bet you hundred dibs," said
the Hangar, "that she decided to be
there first and get control of the stu
alton! She's slippery, and quick, and
like all women, she's jealous!'
The Rangers eyes were on his, but
King was not to be caught again. It is
quite easy to think behind fence, so
to speak, If one gives attention to it.
"She will be busy presently fooling
those Afridis," he continued, waving
his cigarette. "She has fooled them
always, to the limit of their bally bent.
Yasmini plays her own game, for
amusement and power--a good game
a deep game! You have seen already
how India has to ask her aid in the
sHillsp She loves power, power,
power-not for it's name, for names
are nothing, but to use it"
"How long have you known herr"
asked King.
The Hangar eyed him sharply.
"a long time. She and played to-
gether when we were children. It is
because she knows me very well that
she chose me to travel North with you,
when you start to find her in the
Hills I"
King cleared his throat, and the
Hangar nodded, looking into his eyes
with The engaging confidence Of child
who never has been refused anything,
in or out of reason. King made no eff
fort 80 look pleased.
Just then the coachman took a last
corner at gallop and drew the horses
up on their launches at door in a
high white wall. Rewa Gunga sprang
out Of the carriage before the horses
We're quite at standstill.
"Here we are!" he said, and King
noticed that the street curved here so
that no otheH door and no window
overlooked this one.
He followed the Hangar, and he was
no sooner into the shadow of the door
than the coachman dashed the horses
and the carriage swung out of view.
'This way" said the Hangar over
his shoulder. "Come ~

but that does not manage it's estates
too well, as rule, nor pay it's debts
in hurry.
''My name is Rewa Gunga," he said
in a low voice. II have message for
you"
sFrom whom?"
from her!' said the Hangar, and
without exactly knowing why, or be-
ing pleased with himself, King felt ex-
cited.
They were walking toward the sta
ton exit. King had a trunk check in
his hand, but returned 1t to his pocket,
not proposing just yet to let the
Hangar overhear instructions regard
ing the trunks destination: he was too
gOod-looking and too overbrimming

King tricks the Hangar and
rescues some of Yasmini's cut
threats, whom he takes north
with him as grateful body
guards.
