CHATTER XII.

They came and changed the guard
two hours after dawn, to the accom-
paniment of orders growled through
the mist, and the crash Of rifle-butts
grounding on the rock path. King went
to the cave entrance, to look the new
man over; he was a Mahsudi-no
sweeter to look at and no less treacher-
GUS for the fact. Also. that he had
boils all over the back of his neck. He
was not likely to be better tempered
because Of that fact, either. But it is
an i'll wind that blows no good to the
secret service. !.
"There is an end to everything" he
remarked presently, addressing the
world at large, or as much as he could
see of 1t through the cave mouth. IA
hill is so high, pool SO deep, a river
SO wide. There is an end to painw he
went on, adjusting his horn-rimmed
spectacles. II lanced mans boils
last night, and 1t hurt him, but he must
be well today"
.Go imp growled the guard. "She
says it Is sorcery! She says none are
to let thee touch theml"
81 can heal boilsi" said King, retir-
ing into the cave. Then, from a safe
distance down the passage. he added a
word or two to sink in as the hours
went by. At intervals throughout the
day Yasmini sent him food by silent
messengers. 1t is not easy to worry
and eat heartily at one and the same
time. Having eaten, he rolled up his
sleeves and native-made cotton trou-
sers and proceeded to clean the cave.
After that he overhauled his stock of
drugs and instruments repacking them
and making ready against opportunity.
"As I told that heather with gun
out there, there's an end to every
thingl" he reflected. "May this come
soon!"
The second guard that afternoon
proved even less communicative than
the first, up to the point when, to les
sen his ennui, King began to whistle.
Each time he came near the entrance
the new guard could catch few bars
of the tune. After little while the
hook-nosed ruffian begs to sing the
words to It. in voice forgotten

them back into their fortl Aye! we
slew manyl"
"Not jihad yetY King asked, as If
the world might be coming to an end.
The words were startled out Of him.
Under other circumstances he would
never have asked that question so d.
rectly; but he had lost reckoning Of
everything but these poor devils dread
full need Of doctoring, and he was like
man reused out of a dream. IF a
holy war had been proclaimed already,
then he was engaged on a forlorn hope.
But the man laughed at him.
"Nay. not yet. Bull-with-a-beard
holds back vet. This was little fight.
The jihad shall come laterr'
sand who is 'Bull-with-a-beard'? ?"
King wondered; but he did not ask
that question because his wits were
awake again. It phys not to be in too
much Of hurry to know things in the
"Hills.''
As 1t happened, he asked no more
questions, for there came shout at
the cave entrance whose purport he
did not catch, and within five minutes
after that, without a word Of explana-
ton, the cave was left empty of all ex-
cept his own five men. They carried
away the men too sick to walk and
vanished, snatching the last man away
almost before Kings fingers had fin
ished tying the bandage on his wound.
"Why is that?" he asked Ismail.
ssWhy did they go? Who shouted?'
ut is night" Ismail answered. "It
was time."
King stared about him. He had not
realized until then that without aid Of
the lamps he could not see his own
hand held out In front Of him; his eyes
had grown used to the gloom, like
those of the surgeons in the sick-bays
below the waterline in Nelson's fleet.
"But who shouted?"
"Who knows? There is only one
here who gives orders. We be many
who obey" said Ismail.
"Whose men were the last ones?"
King asked him, trying new line.
Observation-Disclosures"
Sand whose man art thou, Ismail?'
The Afridi hesitated, and when he
spoke at last there was not quite the

after that King had to do Lis best to
keep the Afridi's back In sight.
They began after a time to hear
voices and to see the smoky glare made
by other torches. Then IsmaiI set the
pace vet faster, and they became the
last two of procession of turbaned
men, who tramped along a winding
tunnel into great mountains womb.
The souEd of slippers clicking and
rutching on the rock floor swelled and
died and swelled again as the tunnel
led from cavern into cavern.
In one great cave they came to
every man beat out his torch and
tossed 1t on heap. After that there
was a ledge above the height of a
mans head on either side of<the tun-
mel, and along the ledge little o., burn
ing lamps were spaced at measured
intervals. A quarter of mile farther
along there were two sharp turns in
the tunnel, and then at last a sea Of
noise and veritable blaze Of light.
Part Of the noise made King feel
homesick, for out Of the mountains
very womb brayed a music-box, such
as the old-time carousals made use of
before the days Of electricity and
steam. 1t was being worked by mex
pert hands. for the time was some
thing jerky; but it was robbed Of its
tinny meanness and even lent majesty
by the hugeness of a cavern's roof, as
well as by the crashing, swinging music
It played-wild wonderful invented
for lawless hours and a kingless peo-
pie.
'Marchons = Citoyens -"
The procession began to tramp in
time to it, and the rock shook. They

photograph the general had given him
in Peshawur-and that the cave be-
came filed nth the strange intoxicat-
ing scent that had first wooed his
senses in her reception room in Delhi.
He dreamed that she called ',im by
name. First, "King sahib r. Then
"Kurram Khan !" And her voice was
surprisingly familiar. But dreams are
strange things"
'He sleeps!' said the same voice
presently. ut is good that he sleeps r
And in his sleep he thought that a
shadowy Ismail grunted an answer.
When he awoke at last it was after
dawn, and light shone down the pas
sage into the cave.
'Tsmaill" he shouted, for he was
thirsty. But there was no answer.
"Darya Khan"
Again there was no answer. He
called each of the other men by name
with the same result. He decided to
go to the cave mouth, summon his men,
who were no doubt sleeping. But there
was no Ismail near the entrance-no
Darya Khan--nor any of the other
men. The horse was gone. So was the
mule. So was the harness, and every
thing he had, except the, drugs and in
struments and the presents the sick
had given him; he had noticed all
those lying about in confusion when he
woke.
"Ismailr r. he shouted at the top of
his lungs, thinking they might all be
outside.
He heard man hawk and spit, close
to the entrance, and went out to see.
A man whom he had never seen before
leaned on a magazine rifle and eyed
him as tiger eyes his prey.
mo fartherp he growled, bringing
his rifle to the port.
"Why not?" King asked him.,
"Allah! When camel dies in the
Khyber do the kites ask why? Go in -
He thought then Of Yasmini's brace
let, that had always gained him at
least civility from every man who saw
1t. He held up his left wrist and knew
that instant why 1t felt uncomfortable.
The bracelet had disappeared!
He turned back into the cave to hunt
for 1t, and the strange scent greeted
him again. In spite Of the surround
ing stencil Of drugs and filthy wounds,
there was no mistaking II. II it had
been her special scent in Delhi, as
Saunders swore 1t was, and her special
scent on the note Darya Khan had car
ried down the Khyber, then it was hers
now, and she had been in the cave.
He hunted high and low and found
no bracelet. His pistol was gone, too,
and his cartridges, but not the dagger,
wrapped in a handkerchief, under his
shirt. The money, that his patients
had brought him, lay on the floor UNI
touched. It was an unusual robber who
had robbed him.
"Who's 'Bull-with-a-beard?" he won

til doctored his men. He's in oppo-
sition. That's fair guess. Now, who

this? And why does Bull-with-a-beard,'
whoever he is, hang back?"

King made'a little effort to clean the
cave, but the task was hopeless. For
one thing he was so weary that his
very bones were water. He appointed
two-hour watches, to relieve one an
other until dawn. and flung himself
on clean bed. He was asleep before
his head had met the pillow; and for
all he knew to the contrary he dreamed
of Yasmini all night long.
It seemed to him that she came into

so vast that the eye at first refused to
try to measure 1t. It was the hollow
core Of a mountain, flied by the sea-
sound Of human crowd and hung with
huge stalactites that danced and shift
ed and flung back thousand colors at
the Pickering light below. Across the
cavern's farther end for space Of two
hundred yards the great river rushed,
plunging out of great fanged gap and
hurrying out of view down another one,
licking smooth banks on its way with
hungry sucking sound.
There were little lamps everywhere,
perched on lodges amid the stalactites,
and they suffused the whole cavern in
golden glow. In the midst Of the cav
ern a great arena had been left bare,
and thousands Of turbaned men squat
ted round it in rings. At the end
where the river formed tangent to
them the rings were fattened, and at
that point they were cut into by the
ramp of a bridge, and by lane left
to connect the bridge with the arena.
The bridge end formed a nearly square
platform, about fourteen feet above the
floor, and the broad track thence to
the arena. as well as all the arenas
boundary, had been marked of by
great earthenware lamps, whose greasy
smoke streaked up and was lost by the
wind among the stalactiteS.
"Greek lamps. every one Of 'em 7"
King whispered to himself, but he
wasted no time just then on trying to
explain how Greek lamps had ever got
there. There was too much else to
watch and wonder at.
No steps led down from the bridge
end to the floor; toward the arena 1t
was blind. But from the bridges far
Their end across the hurrying water
stairs had been hewn out of the rock
wall and led up to hole Of twice a

river edge, and nobody seemed to care
to invade it. although it was not

was about fifty feet wide and quite

bridge end and the arena, and the
arena itself, had to be kept free from
trespassers by fifty staggering ruff
fans, armed to the teeth.
Every man of the thousands there
had knife in evidence. but the arena
guards had magazine rifles as well as
Khyber tulwars. Nobody else wore
firearms openly. Some of the arena
guards bore huge round shields of pre-

All Do Hard
Physical Work

Taken altogether, one can live COM
fortably underseas, although there is
certain discomfort from the cvcr-in-
crcasing warmth produced by the work
ing of the electrical machinery and
from the condensation created by the
high temperature on the surface Of
the boat plunged in cold water, which
is more noticeable in winter and in
colder regions.
1t is interesting to observe that the
occupations Of the crew determine the
atmos ospheric conditions. The quantity
of air required by human body de-
pends entirely OH its activity. A man
working hard absoIbs in an hour
eightyfvc litres Of air. Besides the
commander, who is vigorously engaged

their efficiency is all the greater when
the time comes to relieve their weary

The length Of time that a U-boat can

Greatest Secrecy
Surrounded VI

AZ first q mystery still yeiled our
knowledge concerning our submarines
We were told that the dear, good, old
U-bnat No. l had splendidly stood
every test, and shortly after, in Oc-
tobcr, 100, I went on board, and had
tho honor later to command her for
two years. But during this period, for
several years, the greatest secrecy sur
rounded this new weapon of our navy;
strictcst orders were given to admit no
ono on board, not even high officers;
only adnirals were allowed to pene-
trate Within and on every matter con-
corning our U-boats we had to main
tain absolute silence Now, however,
that our usefulness has been so fully
justified, the veil of discretion can be
somewhat lifted, and I can describe
within certain limits the life and ac-
Nyities on board submarine.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-13
Ordered on Board
A Submarine

For the first time in tho autumn Of
190-- sorna of US were surprised at the
announcements "Ordered on board a
submarine" This order naturally met
with an immediate response, but it
brought new outlook on the possihili-
ties OF our career, for we had not vet
been trained to this branch Of tho SER
vice, which our Almighty War Lord
had only recently added to tho i'm
perial navy. The question was,
Should we be able to perform this
new duty?
It is well known that the French
were the first to complete type of
submarine navigable underscas, and
the English unwllingly, but with sly
anticipation of coming events, copied
this type Of boat.
To all outward appearance We kept
aloof from following the example of
our neighbors, and our chiefs of the
Admiralty were beset with expostula-
lions on tho subject. but they were
silently biding their time while OUT en-
emies of to-day were Dragging about
their successful experiments with their
newly constructed submarines. To
tho dismay and astonishment Of our
opponents, it was only when the right
hour had struck that our navy re-
vealed that it had similar weapons at
it's command. 1t therefore prepared
for them some disagrceabls surprises,
and set its special seal from the very
beginning on the maritime warfare.
I remember talk I had with an old
army officer a few years ago, when
had just received my appointment to a
submarine. We were speaking Of T.
boats and aeroplanes, and he cx-
claimed, Zach! My dear Forstner, give
it up! The bottom of the ocean is fol
fishes and the sky is for birds"
What would have happened to Us il
this war had we not so proudly ex
cclled above the earth and beneath The
sea?
New-York tribune., 1918-01-13
Living Conditions
Under Water

a submarine conceals within it's
small compass the most concentrated
technical disposition known in the art
OF mechanical construction, especially
so in the spaces reserved for the steer
ing gear of the boat and for the manip-
ujation of its weapons.
The life on board becomes such a
matter of habit that we can peacefully
sleep at great depths under the sea,
while the noise is distinctly heard Of
the propelers OF the enemy's ships
hunting for US overhead, for water is
an excellent sound conductor and con-
veys from long distance the approach
OF a steamer. We are often asked,
How can you breathe under water 2"
The health Of our crew is the best
proof that this is fully possible. We
possessed as fellow passengers n dozen
guinea pigs, the gift Of kindly and
anxious friend, who had been told these
little creatures were very sensitive to
the Ill effects Of vitiated atmosphere.
They fourshed in our midst and
proved amusing compaKons.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-13

TNEEY year about the first of Oc-
r. tober, at the time Of the great
A@ army man@uvres, new appoint
mcnts are also made in the navy; but,
unlike our army brothers, who from
beginning to end remain permanently
either in the artillery, cavalry or in
fentry, We officers OF the navy arc
shifted from cruiser to torpedo boat,
from the ship Of the line to the hated
Office desk on land at the Admiralty, in
order to fit Us to serve our Almighty
War Lord in every capacity and to the
best advantage. The commander Of a
torpedo boat must be familiar with the
service on board a drcadnought or on
any other large ship, for only those
who are intimately acquainted with
tho kind Of ship they are going to at
tack possess sufficient skin to de-
stroy it.
