CHAPTER XII.

The gap closed up behind them and
the tunnel began to echo weirdly. Over
their heads, at irregular intervals,
there were holes that If they led as
King, presumed into caves above, left
not an inch Of all the long passage that
could not have been swept by rifle fire.
1t was impregnable; for no artillery
heavy enough to pound the mountain
into pieces could ever be dragged
within range. Whatever hiding place
this entrance guarded could be held
forever, given food and cartridges
The tunnel wound to right and left
like snake, growing lighter and light
err after each bend; and soon their own
din began to be swallowed in greater
one that entered from the farther end.
After two sharp turns they came out
unexpectedly into the glaze of blue day,
nearly stunned by light and sound. A
roar came up from below like that of
an ocean in the grip of a typhoon.
When his wits recovered from the
shock, King struggled with a wild de-
sire " yell, LUZ DclOIC uAl1 was Will

They had emerged from a round
mouthed tunnel-it looked already like
a rabbit-hole, SO huge was the cliff be-
hind-on to a ledge of rock that formed
a sort Of road along one side of a
mile-wide chasm. Above him, it
seemed a mile up, was blue sky, to
which limestone walls ran sheer, with
scarcely foothold that could be seen.
Beneath. so deep that eyes could not
guess how deep, yawned the stained
gorge of the underworld, many-colored,
smooth and wet.
And out Of great, jagged slit in the
side of the cliff, perhaps a thousand
feet below them, there poured down
into thunderous dimnesg waterfall
whose breadth seemed not less than
half a mile. 1t spouted seventy or

The door slammed. The one-eyed
guide grounded his gunlbutt on the
stone, and the procession waited,
watched by the crowd that had lost It's
interest sufficiently to talk and joke.
In two minutes the mullah returned
and threw mat over the threshold. 1t

not more than half favored it himself ;
but it Is good, even when the next step
may lead into a death-trap, to see
ones first opinions confirmed.
He nodded to himself as the outer
door slammed shut behind them, for
that was another most unusual circum-
stance.
A faint light shone through slitlike
windows, changing darkness into
gloom, and little more than vaguely
limiting at the Prophets bed sheet. But
for section of white wall to either
side of it, the relic might have seemed
part of the shadows. The mullah stood
with his back to it and beckoned King
nearer. He approached until he could
see the pattern on the covering rugs;
and the pink rims round the mullah's
lashless eyes.
"What is thy desire?" the mullah
asked-as wolf might ask what a
lamb wants.

swered, and showed the gold bracelet
on his wrist.
The red eye-rims Of the mullah
biinked a time or two, and though he
did not salute the bracelet, as others
had invariably done, his manner un-
derwent perceptible change.
"That is proof that she knows thee.
What is thy manner"
"Kurram Khan, hakim."
"We need thee in Khinjan caves !!
But none enter who have not earned
right to enter! There is but one key.

King drew in his breath. He had
hoped Yasminis talisman would prove
to be key enough. The nails Of his
left hand nearly pierced the palm, but
he smiled pleasantly.
"He who would enter must slay a
man before witnesses in the teeth Of

whispers.

CHAPTER K.

Even with the man with the stom-
,ch ache mounted on the spare horse
tor the sake Of extra speed (and he
vas not suffering one-fifth so much as
ae pretended; with Ismail to urge,
md King to coax, and the fear of
mountain death on every side of them,
they were the part of night and q
lay and night and part Of another
day in reaching Khinjan.
At night and at noon they slept fit
fully at the chance-met shrine Of some
aoly man. The "Hills'' are full Of
them, marked by fiuttering rags that
can be seen for miles away; and
though the Quran's meaning must be
stretched to find excuse, and hillmen
are adept at stretching things and hold
those shrines as sacred as the book it

King drew Ismail into conversation,
md deftly forced on him the role Of
tuestioner.

The mullah seized the Prophets bed
sheet and its covering rugs in both
hands, with about as much reverence
as statesmen show for what they keep
in stock. The whole lot slid to one
side by means of noisy rings on rod,
and a wall lay bare, built of crudely
cut but well laid blocks. 1t appeared
width of the mosques interior.
On the floor lay mallet. peculiar
thing of bronze, cast in one piece,
handle and all. The mullah took it In
his hand and struck the stone floor
sharply once-then twice again-then
three times-then a dozen times IN
quick succession. The floor rang hoi-
low at that spot.
After about minute there came
one answering hammer stroke from
beyond the wall. Then the mullah laid
the mallet down and though King
ached to pick it up and examine 1t he
did not dare. His business was to at
tract as little attention to himself as
possible; and to that end he folded
his hands and looked reverent, as if
entering some Mecca of his dreams.
Through his horn-rimmed spectacles
his eyes looked far away and dreamy.
But it would have been mistake to
suppose that a detail was escaping
him.
The irregular lines in the masonry
began to be more pronounced. All at
once the wall shook and they gaped
by an inch or two, as happens when
an earthquake has shaken buildings
without bringing anything down. Then
an irregular section of wall began to
move quite smoothly away from in
front Of him, leaving gap through
which eight men abreast could have
marched-a tunnel, split in two to
right and left. Judging by the angle
of the two divisions they became one
again before going very far.
The mullah stood aside and mo-
toned King to enter. But the one
eyed thrust himself between Darya
Khan and Ismail, pushed King aside
and took the lead.
"Nay!" he said, II am responsible
to her."
1t was the first time he had spoken
and he appeared to resent the waste
Of words.
The tunnel was pierced in twenty
places in the roof for rifle fire; a score
of men with enough ammunition could
have held it forever against an army.
The guide led, and King followed him,
filed with curiosity.
'Many have entered!" sang the
lashless mullah in sing-song chant.
More have sought to enter! Some
who remained without were wisest !!
count them! I keep COUNT Many
went in! Not all came out again by
this road!"
LEAD along, Charonl" King grinned.
He needed some sort Of pleasantly to
steady his nerves. But, even so, he
wondered what the nerves of India
would be like if her millions knew of
this place.
