to don the Romans armor and forced
to pose to the savage "Hllls"-or
fooled into posing to them-as her
lover, while Rewa Gunga lurked be-
hind the scenes and waited for the
harvest In the end. And what kind Of
harvest2
And what kind Of man must Rewa
Gunga be who could lightly let go all
the prejudices of the East and submit
to what only the West has endured
hitherto with any complacency-a
"tertium quid?"
Yet what a fool he, King. had been
not to appreciate at once that Rewa
Gunga must be her lover. Why should
he not be? Were they not alike as
cousins7 And the East does not love
its contrary, but its complement, being
older in love than the West, and wiser
In its ways in oil but the material.

He washed and went through the
mummery Of Muslin prayers for the
watchful mullah's sake, and climbed
on to his bed. But sleep seemed out
Of the question. He lay and tossed for
an hour, his mind as busy as terrier
In hay. And when he did fall asleep
at last II was so to dream and mutter
that the mullah came and shook him
and preached him half-hour sermon
against the mortal sins that rob men
of peaceful slumber by giving them a
foretaste of the punishment to come.
All that seemed kinder and more re-
freshing than Kings own thoughts had
been, for when the mullah had done
ut last and had gone striding back to
the cave mouth, he really did fall
sound asleep, and 1t was after dawn
| when he awoke. The mullah's voice,
not untuneful, was rousing all the val
ley echoes In the call to prayer.

tioning as If he threw them the reiN
and leave to gallop. They roared bach
at him like the sea under the whip OF
gaining wind. And Ismall disap-
peared among them, leaving KlnA
alone. Then the mullah beckoned him
and showed him letter he had crum.
pied In his fist. There were only
few lines, written in Arabic, which all
mullahs are supposed to be able to
read, and they were signed with Q
strange scrawl that might have mean
anything. But the paper smelt strong
ly of her perfume.
Come. then. Bring all your men. and
will let you and them enter KhinjaN
caves. We will strike bargain in the
Cavern of Earth's Drink.
That was all, but the fire In the mui-
lah's eyes showed that he thought IL
was enough. He did not doubt that
once he should have his extra four
| thousand in the caves KhinJan would
be his: and he said so.
"Khinjan is miner he growled- in

King did not answer him. He could
only be still and be glad he had set the
camp moving and so had forced the
! mullah's hand. "The old fatalist would
have suspected her answer other
wise" he told himself. for he knew
that he himself suspected 1t.
While he and the mullah watched
the tents began to fall and the women
labored to roll them. The men began
firing their rifles, and within the hour
enough ammunition had been squan-
dered to have fought a good-sized skir-
mish; but the mullah did not mind,
for he had Khinjan caves in view. and
none knew better than he what vast
store of cartridges and dynamite was
piled in there. He let them waste.
Watching his opportunity. King
slipped down the ramp and into the
crowd, while the mullah was busy with
personal belongings In the cave. King
left his own belongings to the fates, or
to any thief who should care to steal
them. He was safe from the mullah

danced around him.
Before ever the mullah gave an or

climbing the steep valley wall. The

King and his men hung back. to keep

miles along the top Of the escarpment

CHAPTER XXI.

And while King kneIt behind the
mullah and the whole camp faced Nee
ca in Observation-Disclosures abasement
there came strange man down the
midst-not strange to the Hills"
where such sights are common. but
strange to that camp and hour. Some
body rose and struck him, and he knelt
like the rest; but when prayer was
over and cooking had begun and the
camp became a place Of savory smell,
he came on again--a blind man. He
was clean shaven, and he looked as
IL he. had not been blind long. for his
physical health was good.
"Oh, the hakim-the good hakim I"
he walled. "Where Is the famous ha-
kim? Show me the way to him! Oh.
the famous, great, good hakim who can
heal mems eyes!'
'T am he." said King and he stepped
down toward him. The blind mans
face looked strangely familiar, though
1t was partly disguised by some gummy
stuff stuck all about the eyes. He
stared Mt the face again.
| "Ismail" he said "You?"
"Aye! Father of cleverness Make
play Of healing my eyes!"
So King made a great show Of rub
bing on ointment. In minute Ismail,
looking almost like young man with
out his great beard, was dancing like
a 1unatio with both fists in the air, and
yelling as II wasps had stung him.
"Aieee-aieee-aieeew he yelled. 81

In them! Allahl Oh, Allah heap
riches on the great. wise hakim who

| The whole camp began to surge
toward him to see the miracle, and his
chosen bodyguard rushed up to drive
them back. And as they went tall
Afridi came striding down the camp
with letter for the mullah held out
In cleft stick in front Of him.
"Her answer" said Ismail with a
wicked grin.
"What is her word2 Where is the
Orakzai Pathan?"
But Ismail laughed and would not
answer him. 1t seemed to King that
he scented climax. Also he chose in
that instant to force the mullah's hand.

nearest man. "The mullah will march

They murmured and wondered and
backed away from him to give him
room. Ismail watched him with
dropped Jaw and wild eye.
spread It through the camp that
we march on Khinjan! Shout It! Bid
them strike the tentsl"
Somebody behind took up the shout
and 1t went across the camp In leaps,
as men toss ball. There was surge
toward the tents, but King called to
his deserters and they clustered back
| to him. He had to cement their ale
| glance now or fail altogether, and he
would not he able to do 1t by ordinary
argument or by pleading; he had to
