Expansion is the fate of many in
dustries these war-torn times. Per-
haps in no other line Of industry IS
this felt more keenly than in that
of transportation. New problems
arise weekly, if not daily The man
who can solve the problems and
handle the situations is the man who
goes forward and upward. The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
has just had such problem to solve.
1t has done so by creating 3 new Of
fee and appointing Vice President
George NJ. Bosworth to fill it.
The new Office is that of Chairman
of the Canadian Pacific Ocean
Services, Limited. Mr.. Bosworth
has resigned as Vice President Of the
railway to accept it. The creation
of this position is natural result Of
the growth of the shipping interests
of the Canadian Pacific system
which has now in its owned and
chartered ships, one of the largest
mercantile fleets operated by any
single corporation, a fleet which is
actually greater today than it was
at the beginning Of the war. So

CHAPTER Xxx.


Next morning the Orakzai Pathan
sat and summed himself in the cave
mouth, emitting worldly wisdom un-
enumerated with divinity. AS King
went toward him to see to whom he
spoke he grinned and pointed with his
uiunlp, and King looked down on some
SICK and wounded men who sat in a
crowd together on the ramp, ten feet
VI SO below the cave.
Ihey seemed stout soldierly fellows.
wen OF another type were being kept
~ distance by dint of argument and
.nfeats. Away in the distance was Mu-
aainmad Amin with his broad back
turned to the cave, in alteration with
. uozen other mullahs. For the time
Nc was out Of the reckoning.
some of these are wounded" the
athan explained. "Some have sores.
some have the bellyache. Then again,
sumo are sick Of words, hot and cold by
uay and night. All have served In the
arlny All have medals. All are de-
'el1ers' some for one reason, some for

take it! Sit Yonder is ink-ttutt-
ttutt write, now, write!"
King sat at box and waited, as If
to take dictation, but the mullah, tug
ging at his beard, grew furious.
"Write thine own letter Invent
thine own argument! Persuade her, or
die in new wayl will invent new
way for theel''
So King began to write, in Urdu, for
reasons of his own. He had spoken
once or twice in Urdu to the Inullah
and had received no answer. 1t was a
fair guess that Muhammad was ignor-
ant of the scholars language.
Greeting" he wrote, "to the most beau
tiful and very wise Princess Yasmini, in
her palace in the caves in Khinjan, from
her servant Kurram Khan the hakim, In
the camp of the mullah Muhammad Amin
in the Hills"
The mullah Muhammad Amin demands
surrender of Khinjan Caves and of all his
ammunition Further, he demands full
control of you and of me and of all your
men.
He threatens as preliminary to block
ade Khinjan caves, unless the answer to
this prove favorable, letting none enter,
put calling his own men out to join him.
This would suit the Indian government,
themselves they cannot raid India, and
while he blockades Khinjan caves there
will be time to move against him.
knowing that he dares begin and can
accomplish what he threatens, / am sor-
ry; because 1 know it Is said how many
services you have rendered Of old to the
government 1 serve. We who serve one
raj are one-one to remember-one to for
get-one to help each other in good time.
1T may be that vengeance against me
would seem sweeter to you than return
to your former allegiance In that case,
Princess, you only need betray me to the
mullah, and be sure my death would leave
nothing to be desired by the spectators.
At present he does not suspect me-
ssBe assured, however, that not to be-
tray me to him is to leave me free to serve
my government and well able to do SO.
II invite you to return to India with
me, bearing news that the mullan NM
hammad Amin and his men are bottled IN
Khintan caves, and TO plan with me to
that end.
'If you will, then write an answer 10
Muhammad Amin, not In Urdu, but In
language he can understand; seem 10 sur
render to him. But to me send verpal
message, either by the bearer of this or py
some trustier messenger. ;.

you will And in that case l pledge my
word to direct the governments attention

1t is not yet too late to choose. |. Is NO.
impertineDt In me to urge you.
Nor. can 1 say how gladly l woulu
subscribe myself your grateful ana iosai
servant"
The mullah pounced on the finished
letter, pretended to read IT, anu
watched him seal 1t up. smudglng tne
hot wax with his own great guarded
thumb, Then he shouted for the orak-
vai pathan. who came striding in, all
grins and swagger.

announcer and some for no reason at all
Bull-with-a-beard looks the other NOV
speak thou to them about the pardon
that is offered!"
SO King went down among them
taxing some Of the tools of his SIM
posed trade with him and trying to
crowd down the triumph that would
wen up. The seed he had sown had
multiplied by fifty in a night. He want
ed TO shout, as men once did before
the walls of Jericho. Possibility OF par
don and reinstatement, though only
heard of at second hand, had brought
unity into being. And unity brought
eagerness.
Let us start tonight" urged one
man.
May" the Pathan objected at
once. MANY of you can hardly march.
Rest ye here and let the hakim treat
your bellyaches. ll-with-a-beard

will take his letter. And in Khinian |
will spread news about pardons. It is
likely there are fifty there who will
dare follow me back, and then we
Shall march down the Khyber like a
full company of the old days!
King got busy with his lancet, but
the mullah came back and called him
OF and drove the crowd away to a dis
lance; then he drove King into the
cave in front of him, his mouth work
ing as If he were biting bits of ven
geance off for future use.

letter! Here is paper. There is pen

to pose to the savage ''Hills'-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
harvest?
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 be7 Were they not alike as
cousins? And the East does not love
its contrary, but its complement, being
older in love than the West, and wiser

He had been blind. He had overlooked

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 1t was so to dream and mutter
that the mullah came and shook him
and preached him a half-hour sermon
| against the mortal sins that rob men
of peaceful slumber by giving them q
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
at 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.
