engineer, new to that job that morn
| ing, and sealed telegram was handed
to him at once. Because 1t was war
time, and the censorship had closed
on India like throttling string, 1t
was not in code. So the Mira Ali, Of
the Fort, Bombay, to whom 1t was
addressed, could be expected to read
between the lines.

received north of Delhi. Take all pre-
cautions and notify Abdul.
Good p he chuckled. Lets hope
we get Abdul too. wonder who he
is I"
Still uninterested in the man who
Swallowed him, he walked back to the
office window and wrote two tele-
grams; one to Bombay, ordering the
arrest of Ali Mira of the Fort, with
an urgent admonition to discover who
his man Abdul might be, and to seize
him as soon as found the other to the
station In the north, insisting on close
confinement for SULLIVAN.
That being all the urgent business,
he turned leisurely to face his shadow,
and the native met his eyes with the
engaging frankness Of an old friend,
coming forward with outstretched
hand. They did not shake hands, but
the man made signal with his fingers
that Is known to not more than dozen
men In all the world, and that changed
the situation altogether.
"Walk with me-" said King, and the
man fell into stride beside him.
He was a Rangar-which is to say a
Rajput who, or whose ancestors had
turned Mohammedan. Like many Raj
puts he was not big man, but he
looked fit and wiry; his head scarcely
came above the level of Kings chin,
although his turban distracted atten-
ton from the fact. The turban was Of
silk and unusually large.
The whitest of well-kept teeth,
cleaning regularly under little black
waxed mustache betrayed no trace Of
betelnut or other nastiness. King was
not so sure that the eyes were brown,
and he changed his opinion about their
color a dozen times within the hour.
Once he would even have sworn they
were green.
The man was regular Hangar
dandy, Of the type that can be seen
playing polo almost any day at Mount
Abu--that gets into mischief with q
grace due to practice and heredity--

still dreamily, and with the chant the
dance began, In and out, round and
round, lazily, ever SO laziiy, wreathed
In buoyant gossamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalwood smoke
they waited into rings.
King watched them and listened to
their chant until he began to recognize
the strain on the eye muscles that pre-
cedes the mesmeric spell. Then he
wrote and read what he had written
and wrote again.
What have you writtenf" asked a
quiet voice at his ear; and he turned
to look straight In the eyes Of Rewa
Gunga, who had leaned forward to
read over his shoulder. Just for one
second he lowered on the brink of
quick defeat. Having escaped the
Scylla Of the dancing women, Charyb-
dis waited for him In the shape of eyes
that were pools of hot mystery. 1t was
the sound Of his own voice that brought
him back to the world again and saved
his will for him unbound.
"Read 1t, won't youf" he laughed.
IF you know, take this pen and mark
the names Of whichever of those men
are still In Delhi"
Rewa Gunga took pen and paper and
set a mark against some thirty Of the
names, for King had manner that
disarmed refusal.
King began to watch the dance
again, for 1t did not feel safe to look
too long into the Rangers eyes. 1t was
not wise just then to look too long at
anything or to think too long on any
one subject.
"Ismail is slow about returning"
said the Hangar.

King, that they are to detain him

without exactly knowing why, or be-
ing pleased with himself, King felt ex-
cited.
They were walking toward the sta.
ton exit. King had a trunk check In
his hand, but returned 1t to his pocket,
not proposing just yet to let the
Hangar overhear instructions regard
ing the trunks destination; he was too
good-looking and too overbrimming

for natives to hint at possible dissolu-
ton of the Anglo-Indian government.
Everybody knows that the British will
not govern India forever, but the Brit
ish---Hho know 1t best of all, and work
to that end most fervently--are the
only ones encouraged to talk about it.
For a few minutes after that Rewa

watching and saying nothing, did not
believe for second the lame expla-
nation Yasmini had left behind. She
must have some good reason for wish
Ing to be first up the Khyber, and he
was very sorry indeed she had slipped
away. 1t might be only jealousy, yet
why should she be jealous7
1t was the next remark Of the
Rangers that set him entirely on his
guard, and thenceforward whoever
could have read his thoughts would
have been more than human. He had
known of that thought-reading trick
ever since his ayah (natlve nurse)
taught him to lisp Hindustanee just
as surely ne knew that It's impudent
use was intended to sap his belief In
himself.
"I'll bet you hundred dibs," said
the Hangar, "that she decided to be
there first and get control of the stu
alton She's slippery, and quick, and
like all women, she's jealous I"
The Rangers eyes were on his, but
King was not to be caught again. It Is
quite easy to think behind fence, SO
to speak, II one gives attention to 1t.
"She will be busy presently fooling
those Afridis," he continued, waving
his cigarette. "She has fooled them
always, to the limit of their bally bent.
Yasmini plays her own game, for
amusement and power--a good game
a deep game! You have seen already
how India has to ask her aid In the
'Hillsr She loves power, power,
power-not for its name, for names
al Z uOLuilE, DuL W uSt IL.
How long have you known her?'
asked King.
The Hangar eyed him sharply.
"A long time. She and / played to-
gether when we were children. 1t Is
because she knows me very well that
she chose me to travel North with you,
when you start to find her In the
Hills"
King cleared his throat, and the
Hangar nodded, looking into his eyes
with the engaging confidence of a child
who never has been refused anything,
In or out of reason. King made no eff
fort to look pleased.
Just then the c0achman took last
corner at gallop and drew the horses
up on their launches at door In n
high white wall. Rewa Gunga sprang
out Of the carriage before the horses
were quite at standstill.
Here we arel" he said, and King
noticed that the street curved here SO
that no other door and no winHow
overlooked this one.
He followed the Hangar, and he was
no sooner into the shadow of the door
than the coachman dashed the horses
and the carriage swung out of view.
"This way" said the Hangar over
his shoulder. "Come!"

1T looks now like the Germans are

Seems like the more you kill and take
prisoner the faster they come. but
they give up at once. the minute you
get near them.
They sure have machine guns and

those sea bags of shrapner are fierce.

The Germans are burning every
town they leave. It is a constant re-
treat. and now that we have them out
on the plains and in open ground they
are no match for U.S.
Don't ever let them say the ma
