CHAPTER ll--Continued.

Within ten minutes Hyde was asleep,
snoring prodigiously. Then King pulled
out the knife again and studied it for
half an hour. The blade was Of bronze,
with an edge hammered to the keen
ness of q razor. The hilt was of near
ly pure gold, in the form Of woman
dancing. The whole thing was so ex-
quisitely wrought that age had only
softened the lines, without in the least
impairing them. 1t looked like one of
those Grecian toys with which Roman
women Of Nero's day stabbed their
lovers. But that was not why he be-
gan to whistle very softly to himself.
Presently he drew out the generals
package of papers, with the photograph
on the top. He stood up, to hold both
knife and papers close to the light in
the roof.
1t needed no great stretch Of imagi-
nation to suggest a likeness between
the woman of the photograph and the
other, of the golden knife-hilt. And
nobody, looking at him then, would
have dared suggest he lacked magma
ton.
If the knife had not been so ancient
they might have been portraits of the
same woman, in the same disguise,
taken at the same time.
''She knew I had been chosen to
work with her. The general sent her
word that / am coming" he muttered
to himself. There must have been a
spy watching at Peshawur, who wired
to Rawal-Pindi for this man to jump
the train and go on with the job. Why
should she give the man knife with
her own portrait on It? Is she queen
of secret society? Well-we shall
sect"
He lay back with his head on the
had gone he was asleep. His mobile
face in repose looked Roman, for the
sun had tanned his skin and his nose
was aquiline. In museums, where
sculptured heads of Roman generals
and emperors stand around the wall
on pedestals, it would not be difficult
to pick several that bore more than q
faint resemblance to him. He had
breadth and depth Of forehead and a
jowl that lent itself to smiles as well
as sternness, and throat that ex-
pressed manly determination In every
nodded line.
He slept like boy until dawn: and
he and Hyde had scarcely exchanged
another dozen words when the train
screamed next day into Delhi station.
Then he saluted stiffiy and was gone.

CHAPTER III.

Delhi boasts a round half-dozen rail-
way stations, all of them designed with
regard to war, so that to King there
was nothing unexpected In the fact
that the train had brought him to an
unexpected station. He plunged into
it's crowd much as man In the mood
might plunge into whirlpool. The
station screamed echoed, reverberated,
hummed. At one minute the whole
building shook to the thunder of a
Rrinning regiment; an instant later 1t
clattered to the wrought-steel ham
mer of thousand hoofs, as led troop
horses danced into formation to invade
the waiting trucks. Soldiers of nearly
every Indian military caste stood about
everywhere. Down the back Of each
platform Tommy Atkins stood In long
straight lines, talking or munching
great sandwiches or smoking.
Threading his way in and out among
the motley swarm with a great black
cheroot between his teeth and sweat
running into his eyes from his helmet
band, Athelstan King strobe at ease
at home-intent-amused-awake-
and almost awfully happy. He was
not In the least less happy because
perfectly aware that native was fol-
lowing him at a distance, although he
did wonder how the native had con-
trived TO pass within the lines. At the
end of fifteen minutes there was not
glib staff officer there who could have
deceived him as to the numbers and
destination of the force entraining.
"Kerachi! !" he told himself, chewing
the butt of his cigar and keeping well
ahead of the shadowing native. He
did not have to return salutes because
he did not look for them. Very few
people noticed him at all, although he
was recognized once or twice by for
mer messmates. At his leisure--in his
own way, that was devious and like a
string of miracies--be filtered toward
the telegraph office. The native who
had followed him all this time drew
closer, but he did not let himself be
troubled by that.
He whispered proof of his identity

CHAPTER w.

1t was musty smelling entrance. so
dark that to see was scarcely possible
after the hot glare outside. Dimly
King made out Rewa Gunga mounting
stairs to the left and followed him.
When he guessed himself two stories
at least above road level, there WINS a
sudden blaze Of reflected light and he
hlinked at more mirrors than he could
count. Curtains were reflected In each
mirror, and little glowing lamps, so
cunningly arranged that 1t was not pos
sible to guess which were real and
which were not. King stood still.
Then suddenly, as IL she had done 1t
a thousand times before and surprised
thousand people, little nut-brown
maid parted the middle pair of cur
tains and said "Salaamp smiling with
teeth that were as white as porcelain.
King looked scarcely interested and
not at all disturbed.
Rewa Gunga hurried past him,
tErusting the little maid aside, and led
the way. King followed him into
long room, whose walls were hung
with richer silks than any he remem-
bered to have seen. In a great wide
window to one side some twenty wom-
en- began at once to make flute music.
Sllken punkahs swung from chains,
waiting back and forth cloud Of san
dalwood smoke that yelled the whole
scene In mysterious, scented mist.
'Be welcomed" laughed Rewa Gun
ga Il am to do the honors, since she
Is not here. Be seated, sahib."
King chose a divan at the rooms
farthest end, near tall curtains that
led into rooms beyond. He turned his
back toward the reason for his choice.
On a little ivory-iniaid ebony table
about ten feet away lay knife, that
was almost the exact duplicate Of the
one inside his shirt. He could sense
hushed expectancy on every side
could feel the eyes of many women
fixed on him-and began to draw on
his guard as fighting man draws ON
ar-lcr. There and then he deliberately
set himself to resist mesmerism, which
is the East's chief weapon.
Rewa Gunga, perfectly at home,
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-01-19

Now he chose to notice the knife
on the ebony table as If he had not
seen IL before He got up and reached
for II and hrossfit 1t back, turning 1t
over and over II his hand.
"A strange knife" he se.3,
"Yes-from Khinjan," said Rewa
Gunga, and King eyed him as one wolf
eyes another.
"what makes you say it is from
Khinjan2"
"She brought 1t from Khinjan caves
herself There is another knife that
matches II, but that Is not here. That
bracelet you now wear, sahlb, is from
Khinjan caves too! She has the secret
of the cavesW
II have heard that the Heart of the
Hills Is there" King answered. rs
the Heart of the Hills a treasure
houseT
Rewa Gunga laughed
"Ask her, sahib Perhaps she will
tell you'll Perhaps she will let you
see Who knows7 She is woman Of
resource and unexpectedness-let her
women dance for You WHILE"
King nodded. Then be got up and
laid the knife back on the little table.
A minute or so later he noticed that
at a sign from Rewa Gunga woman
left the great window place and spir-
tied the knife away.
MAY have sheet Of paper?~ he
asked, for he knew that another fight
for his self-command was due.
Rewa Gunga gave an order, and a
maid brought scented paper on Sill
yer tray. He drew out his own foun-
tain pen, and since his one object was
TO give his brain employment, he wrote
down a list of the names he had men,
orized In the train on the journey from
Peshawur not thinking of use for
the list until he had finished. Then.
though, real use occurred to him.
While he began to write more than
dozen dancing women swept into the
room from behind the silk hangings In
a concerted movement that was all
1.-the slumberous grace, Wood-wind
music called to them from the great
