CHAPTER XXI.

And while King knelt behind the
mullah and the whole camp faced Nee
ca in Observation-Disclosures abasement
there came a 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 q place of savory smell,
he came on agatha blind man. He
was clean shaven, and he looked as
If he had not been blind long, for his
physical health was good.
"Oh. the hakim-the good hakim |"
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"
81 am he," said King, and he stepped
down toward him. The blind mans
face looked strangely familiar, though
it was partly disguised by some gummy
stuff stuck all about the eyes. He
stared at the face again.
"Ismail 20 he said Your
"Aye! Father of cleverness! Make
play of healing my eyes!"
So King made a great show of rub
bling on ointment. In a minute Ismail,
looking almost like young man with
out his great beard, was dancing like
lunatio with both fists in the air, and
yelling as if wasps had stung him.
"Aieee-aieee-aieee" he yelled. 81
see again! / see My eyes have light
in themi Allah Oh, Allah heap
riches on the great, wise hakim who
can heal mems eyes! Allah reward
him richly; for I am a beggar and
have no goods -
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 a 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 word? 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,
on the principle that hurried buffaloes
will blunder.
'"To KhfnjanW he shouted to the
nearest man. 'The mullah will march
on Khinjanl' ~
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 Khinjani Shout it! Bid
them strike the tentsp'
Somebody behind took up the shout
and it 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 allie
glance now or fail altogether. and he
would not be able to do it by ordinary
argument or by pleading; he had to
fire their Imagination. And he did.
"She is on our sidet" That was a
sheer guess. "She has kept our man
and sent another as hostage for him in
token of good faithi Listeni Ye saw
this mans eyes healed. Let that be

disturbing factor came to light. He
kicked a brand into the fire and the
fame leaped. Its light shone on a
yard and a half of exquisitely fine
hair, like spun gold, that caressed his
shoulder and descended down one arm.

a million thoughts, and in a second

double apostolic blessing, and then ma
tioning as if he threw them the reins
and leave to gallop. They roared back
at him like the sea under the whip OF
a gaining wind. And Ismail disap-
peared among them, leaving King
alone. Then the mullah beckoned hiN
and showed him q letter ne 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
strange scrawl that might have mea1
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 Earths Drink.
That was all, but the fire in the null
labs eyes showed that he thought it
was enough. He did not doubt that
once he should have his extra four
thousand in the caves Kh1nJan would
be his; and he said so.
'sKhinjan is Miner he growled. I'm
dia is mine" .
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. 1.-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 sood-sized Skin
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
in the midst of his nearly eighty men,
who half believed him sending from
the skies.
1--WE sect We e!" they yelled and
danced around him.
Before ever the mullah gave an or
der they got under way and started
climbing the steep valley wall. The
mullah on his brown mule thrust for
ward, trying to get in the lead, and
King and his men hung back, to keep
at distance from him. Two or three
miles along the top of the escarpment
the mullah sent back word that he
wanted the hakim to be beside him.
But Kings men treated the messenger
to open scorn and sent him packing.
"Bid the mullah hunt himself an
other hakim! Be thou his hakimi

Attention is directed particularly
to three classes of licenses, namely,
the purchasers, the vendors and the

cure explosives, or their ingredients,
for his own use, will require pur-
chaser's license; if he desires to sell
explosives, or their ingredients, he
will require a vendors license, and
if he conducts his business through

or other employe, who issues explo-

it will be necessary for the licensee
to procure a foreman's license, in ad-
sdition to a purchasers license-in
such case the foreman must appear
in person and take out the license

SNEAK THIEF ENTERS
BEMIDI HOTEL AND
LOOTS SAFE OF S256
y'1s. =.

: n A most audacious robbery occurred
at late hour last night when an
unknown entered the basement win
dow Of the Bemidji hotel, 20S Third
street, conducted by Frank Frost
and William Knutson under the firm
name Frost & Knutson, and robbed
the safe of $256.40, contained in a
box behind the big iron door. The
robbery was discovered early sthis
morning when the cook arrived to
commence his days duties. 7e--.. -,
The basement window in the alley
was found taken off and in the alley
from it's Beltrami avenue entrance
were shoe tracks leading directly to
the basement window and the same
tracks led from the scene back to-
ward the avenue whence they came.
The heavy door had been opened
by the combination and the contents
of the cash box strewn about the
floor with the exception Of the cash.
Three hundred dollars in Liberty
bonds were thrown on the floor and
so were other papers of value. The
cash register was discovered open
and the change it contained was
taken, only a few coppers remain
ing. .
Some one thoroughly familiar with
the combination is believed to have
committed the robbery. The safe
had done service elsewhere before
it's purchase by Frost & Knutson and
the combination had never been
changed. It is believed also that in
this manner some one had become
familiar with the combination and
might know something Of the rob-
berry.
