| say the least, in land where the
mosque Is public resting place FOR
homcless ones, and all the faithful
have a right to enter.

The door slammed. The one-eyed
guide grounded his gun-butt on the
stone. and the procession waited.
watched by the crowd that had lost its
interest sufficiently to talk and joke,
In two minutes the mullah returned
and threw mat over the threshold. II
turned out to be the end Of a long mar
row strip that he kicked and unrolled
In front of him all across the floor of
the mosque. After that it was not so
astonishing that the horses and mules
were allowed to enter.
(which proves l was right after
all !" murmured King to himself.
In a steel box at Stnla is men,
orandum, made after his former visit
to the place, to the effect that the
entrance into Khinjan caves might
possibly be inside the mosque. No
body had believed II likely. and he had
not more than half favored it himself ;
but 1t is good, even when the next step
may lead into 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 a 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 1t and beckOned King
nearer. He approached until he could
see the pattern on the covering rugs,
and the pink rims round the mullak's
lashless eyes.
"What Is thy desire?" the mullah
asked-as a wolf might ask what q
lamb wants.
Audience with her!" King an
swered, and showed the gold bracelet
on his wrist.
The red eye-rims Of the mullah
blinked 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 name?"
"Kurram Khan, hakim."

But none enter who have not earned

left hand nearly pierced the palm. but
he smiled pleasantly.
''He who would enter must STAY a
man before witnesses in the teeth Of

"And thou?"

"Where Is his body?"

Hoping against hope. King turned
and waved his hand. As he did so,
being Quick-eyed. he saw Ismail drive

The uullah seized the Prophets bed
sheet and It's covering rugs IN both
hands, with about rs 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 wall lay bare. built Of crudely
cut but well laid blocks. 1t appeared
to reach unbroken across the whole
width Of the mosques interior.
On the floor lay a mallet, a peculiar
thing of bronze, cast In one piece,
handle and all. The mullah took 1t 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 ut that spot.
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 a mistake to
suppose that q 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 rife fire; a score
of men with enough ammunition could
have held it forever against an army
The guide led, and King followed him
filled with curiosity.
"Many have entered!" sang the
lashless mullah in sing-song chant
More have sought to enter! Some
who remained without were wisest
l count them! I keep count! Many
went in! Not all came out again by
this road!"
LEAD along, Charon I" 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.

1t was midday when at last they
stood on bottom and swayed like men

scarcely able for the heat haze to see
the tangled mass Of stone towers and
mud-and-stOne walls that faced them
q mile away. They were nearly across
the valley, hunting for shadow where
none was to be found, when q shotted
salute brought them up outstanding In

bullets spattered on the rocks close by,
and one so narrowly missed King that
he could feel it's wind.

Nothing whatever happened. Their
arms ceased aching and grew numb.
They advanced another two hundred

When that was done, and the mule
