CHAPTER x.
8.

Even with the man with the stom-
ach ache mounted on the spare horse
for the sake of extra speed (and he
was not suffering one-fifth SO much as
he pretended); with Ismail to urge,
and King to coax, and the fear OF
mountain death on every side Of them,
they were the part Of night and
day 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
holy 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 shrfnes as sacred as the book it.
self. Men who would almost rather
cut throats than gamble regard them
rs sanctuarieS. So man may rest
In temporary peace even on the road
to Khinjan, although Khinjan and
peace have nothing whatever in com.
mon.
1t was at such shrine, surrounded
by tattered rags tied to sticks, that
duttered in the wind three or four
Thousand feet above Khyber level, that
King drew Ismail into conversation,
and deity forced on him the role OF
Uuestioner.

hairy hand gripped Kings arm from
behind, and Ismail's voice Kissed hot
breathed In his ear.
Ready of tongue! Ready Of wit !!
Who told thee I would lie to save thy
skin? Be thy kismet as thy courage,
then-but I am hers, not thy man
Hers, thou light Of life-though God
knows love thee!"
The mullah seized the Prophets bed
sheet and it's 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 wen laid blocks. 1t appeared
to reach unbroken across the whole
width OF the mosques interior.
On the floor lay q 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 hol-
low at that spot.
After about q minute there came
one answering hammer stroke from
the mallet down and though King
ached to pick it up and examine it 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 a gap through
which eight men abreast could have
marcheda 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, 81 am responsible
to her."
i It was the first time he he'd spoken
and he appeared to resent the waste
Of words.
The tunnel was pierced in twenty
places in the roof for rifle fire: q score
Of men with enough ammunition could
have held it forever against an army.
The guide led, and King followed him,
filed with curiosity.
sMany have enteredl" sang the
lashless mullah in sing-song chant.
"More have sought to enter! Some
who remained without were wisest |!

LEAD along, Charon r. 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 IL her millions knew Of
this place.

not more than half favored it himself !;

may lead into death-trap, to see

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

with his back to 1t and beckoned King
nearer. He approached until he could

and the pink rims round the mullah's
lashless eyes.

"We need thee in Khinjan caves!

and waved his hand. AS he did so,

an elbow home into Darya Khan's ribs,
and caught quick interchange Of
whispers.
.'These men are all known to me-"
said the mullah. "They have right to
enter here. They have right to tes-
tify. Did ye see him STAY his man?"
