"Nahin hal Hail." shouted Ismail.

mountain folk! He says, there is
no such thing as fearv"
In his place in TIE lead, King whis-
tied softly to himself but he drew an
automatic pistol from its place be-
meath his armpt and transferred it to
reader position.
Fear or no fear, Khyber mouth Is

whistled as it searched busily among
the black ravines. Then presently
the shadow of the thousandfoot- high
khyber walls began to cover them.
After q while Kings cheroot went
out, ard he threw it away. A little
later Rewa Gunga threw away his
cigarette. After that, the veriest FIVE
year-old among the Zakka Khels,
watching sleepless over the rim of
some stone watch tower, could have
taken oath that the Khyber's unbur-
led dead were prowling in search OF
empty graves. Probably their UNI
canny silence was their best protec-
ton; but Rewa Gunga chose to breal;
it after time.
"King sahib." he called softly. re-
reatng it louder and more loudly I'M
til King heard him. SLOWLY! Not so
fast There are men among those
boulders, and to 90 too fast is to make
them tSinK you are afraid! To seem
afraid Is to invite attack! Can we
defend ourselves, with three firearms
between us? Look What is that?"
They were at the point where the
road begins to lead uphill westward,
leaving the bed Of ravine and as
cending to idn the highway built by
British engineers. Below, to left and
right, was plymouth gloom, shadows
amid shadows, full Of eere whisper
ings, and King felt the short hair on
his neck begin to rise. He urged his
horse forward, The Hangar followed
him, close up, and both horse and

world war Capt. Athelstan King of
the British Indian army and of its
secret service, Is ordered to Delhi to
meet Yasmini, a dancer, and 60 with
her to Khinjan to quiet the outlaws
there who are said by spies to be pre-.
pairing for a Inland or holy war.
CHAPTER II.-On his way to Delhi
King quietly fols plan to assassinate
him and gets evidence that Yasimini
is after him.
Chapter HIN Delhi he is met by
Rewa Gunga, Yasminis man, who
tells him that she has already gone
North and that he, the Hangar has
been left TO escore King.

but fails. lsmall an Afridi belonging
to Yasmini, is given to King for a ser.

mean hei?'
King nodded. "When did she start
up the pass?" he asked.
"She didn't start! l know who goes
up and who comes down."
"Know anything of Rewa Gunga"
King asked him.
"Not much. Tried to buy his mare.
Seen the animal! Cad. I'd give
years pay for that beast He wouldn't
sell and don't blame him."
"He told me just now" said King,
"that Yasmini went up the pass unes-
corted, mounted on mare the very
dead spit of the black one you say
you wanted to buy"
Courtenay whistled.
I'm sorry, King. I'm sorry TO say
he lied"
King threw away his less than half
consumed cheroot and they started to
walk together toward Kings camp.
After a few minutes they arrived at a
point from which they could see the
prisoners lined up in row facing
Rewa Gunga. A less experienced eye
than Kings or Courtenay's could have
recognized their attitude of reverent
obedience. Within two minutes the
Hangar stood facing them, looking
more at ease than they.
Il was cautioning those savagesw
he explained. They're an escort, but
they need reminder of the fact, else
they might jolly well imagine them
selves mountain goats and scatter
among the "Illls" ="
He drew ott his wonderful cigarette
case and offered It open to Courtenay,
who hesitated, and then helped him
self. King refused.
"Major Courtenay has just told me-"
said King, "that nobody resembling
Yasmin has gone up the pass recently.
Can YOU cXplain?"
"Do you mean. can I explain why
the major failed to see her? Pom my
soul, King sahib, d'you want me to
! insult the man? Yasmini is too jolly
clever for me, or for any other man l
ever met; and the majors man, isn't
he? He may pack the Khyber SO full
! of men that there's only standing room
and still she'll go up without his leave
I If she chooses! There Is nobody like
Yasmini in all the wOrldw
The Hangar was looking past him,
facing the great gorge that let's the
north Of Asia trickle down into India
and back again when weather and the
tribes permit. His eyes had become

Courtenay saw, too.
"Hail that man and bring him here |"
he ordered
Ismail, keeping his distance with
ears and eyes peeled, heard instantly
and hurried Off. Fifteen minutes later
an Afridi stood scowling in front of
them with little letter in n cleft stick
in his hand. He held it out and COur-
tenay took it and shifted.

''I'll find OUT the major muttered,

knowing it. Somebody's tail shall be

But he did not find out until King
told him. and that was many days
later, when terrible cloud no longer

Ismall obeyed and King laid his book
down to light another Of his black
eheroots. The theme Of antiseptcs
ceased to exercise its charm over him.

shirt and lay back In sweet content

But King smiled merrily as he

Gunga, who was there to meet him,
advanced with Outstretched hand and
a smile that would have melted snow
on the distant peaks if he had only
looked the other way.
"Welcome, King sahib" he laughed

with him, and then turning away to un

prisoners in. They were baylng now
like wolves to be free, and they surged
out, like wolves from a cage, to clamol
round the Hangar, paving him and
