CHAPTER TX.

King repacked the loads, putting
everything back carefully into the big
leather envelopes and locking the
empty handbag, after throwing in q
few stones for Ismails benefit. Then
he went to sit in the moonlight, with
his back to a great rock and waited
there cross-legged to give his brother
time to make good retreat through
the mist. When there was no more
doubt that his own men, at all events,
had failed to detect the lieutenant, he
put two fingers in his mouth and
whistled.
Almost at once he heard sandals
come pattering from both directions.
AS they emerged out Of the mist he
sat silent and still. il was Darya Khan
who came hrst ane stcod gaping at
him, bat Ismall was very close Sec
ond, and the other three were only a
little behind. For full two minutes
after the man with the sore stomach
had come they all stood holding one
another's arms, astonished. Then

lance to either hand shut off more
light than do the Khyber walls. The
mist, too, was growing thicker. 1t was
time to make move.
King rose. "Pack the mule and bring
my horse!" he ordered and they hur-
rled to obey with alacrlty born OF new
respect, Darya Khan attending to the
trimming Of the mules load in person
instead of snarlng at another man. 1t
was very different little escort from
the one that had come thus far. Like
King himself, 1t had changed Its very
nature In fifteen minutes!
They brought the horse and King
laughed at them, calling them Idiots
men without eyes.

rifle, and Kings face glowed In ciga-
rette light not very far behind him as
he legged his horse up the narrow
track that led northward out of the
Khyber bed. 1t would be a long time
before he would dare smoke cigar
again, and his supply of cigarettes was
destined to dwindle down to nothing
before that day. But he did not seem

The thought seemed to appal him.
For hours after that he climbed ahead
in silence.
