The rifle, that he pretended to be hold
ing, really leaned against his back and
with the free hand he was making sig
nails.
King knew well he WIS making sig
nails. 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 particularly I'M
aware that the Pathan. with q rifle
In each hand, was pretending to come
casually UP the path.
In a 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-
scendlng backward with rife ready
against surprise, as If he expected Vas
mini and her men to pounce out any
minute to the rescue.
They entered a tunnel and wound
along 1t, stepping at short intervals
over 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 fourth man and fell with
his chin beyond the edge of a sheer
precipice.
They were on ledge above the wa
terfall again, having come through q
projection on the cliffs side, for kim
Jan is all rat-runs and projections, like

They soon reached another cave, at
which the mullah stopped. 1t was q
dark ill-smelling hole, but he ordered
King into 1t and the Pathan after him
on guard, after first seeing tho women
pile all their loads inside. Then he
took the women away and went OF

the pile of rifles. "Weight for weight

For a mullah he cares less for meat
and money than any ever saw. He is

King asked.
The Pathan grinned, and undid the
button. There was second shirt I'M
derneath, and to that on the left breast
were pinned two British medals.
"Ob. yesp he laughed. II served the
raj: I was In the army eleven years"
"Why did you leave it2' King asked,
remembering that this man loved to
hear his own voice.
"Oh, had furlough. knitted man

fair of the British. But I was seen,
and entered this place. It Is a devil
Of place."
Now the art of ruling India consists
not In treading barefooted on scorpions
not in virtuous Indignation at men
who know no better-but In seeking
for and making much of the gold that
lies ever amid the dross. There Is

The mullah turned rifle this way
and that in his paws, like great bear

who had sat next King in the Cavern
Of Earth's Drink, was creeping up be-
hind the women and already had his
rifle leveled Mt the man with boils.
"Ayew said the mullah, watching
Kings eyes. "He has done well, and

The man with boils offered no fight.
He dropped his rifle and threw his
hands up. In moment the Orakzai
Pathan was In command Of two rifles,
holding King from among the women,
whom he seemed to regard as his plum
der too. The women appeared SUI
premely Indifferent in any event. King
nodded back to him. A friend Is q
friend in the 'Hills," and rare is the
man who spares his enemy.
"None comes to earn living In the
Hills" growled the mullah, swaying
his head slowly and devouring King
with cruel calculating eyes. "Why art

"Thou Hest 1t was my men who got

But King did not answer. The null

"Thy man said It," answered King.
"Then hear mep said the mullah.
Listen, thou" But he did not begin
to speak yet. He tried to see past King
into the cave and to peer about into
the shadows.
"Wherc is sher he asked. .Her

The temptation was to ding the
brute after his victim. The tempta'
ton always is to do the wrong thing
to cap wrath with wrath, injustice with
vengeance. That way wars begin and
are never ended. King beckoned him
into the cave, and bent over the chest
OF medical supplies. Then, finding the
light better for his purpose at the en-
trance, he called the man back and
made him sit down on the box.
