"And what does she intend?" King
asked him suddenly.
"She? Ask Allah, who put the spirit
in her! How should 1 know?"
1--WE will march again, my brothers !"
King $, ,uted, and they streamed along
behind him, now with no advance
guard, but with the Orakzai Pathan
striding beside Kings horse, with a
great hand on the saddle. Like the
others, he seemed decided in his mind
that the hakim ought not to be allowed
much chance to escape.
Just as the dawn was tinting the
surrounding peaks with softeSt rose
they topped ridge, and Khinjan lay
below them across the mlle-wide bone
dry valley. And while they watched,
and the Khinian men were beginning
to murmur (for they needed no last
view of the place to satisfy any long

behind rock and came to Kings STIR

horse until they stood together apart.

peculiar grin that surely the Hills"
ever witnessed. "Many of her men.

Ismail slipped away and lost himself
among the men, and none of them
seemed to notice that he had been
away and had come again. 1t was a
little more than an hour after dawn
and the chilled rocks were beginning to
grow warmer when the head of pro-
ceSsiOn came out of Khinjan gate and
started toward them over the valley.
In all more than five hundred men
emerged and about a hundred women
and children. Then:

CHAPTER xxI-continued.

But out of the corner of his eye, and
once or twice by looking back DELHI
erately, King saw that Ismail was
taking the members of his new band
one by one and whispering to them.
What he said was a mystery, but as
they talked each man looked at King.
And the more they talked the better
pleased they seemed. And as the day
wore on the more deferential they
grew. By midday if King wanted to
dismount there were three at least to
hold his stirrup and ten to help him
mount again.
Four thousand men with women and
childreI and baggage do not move so
swiftly as one man or dozen. espe-

them camp because they would have
done it otherwise in any case.
When the evening meal was eaten,
and sentries had been set at every van
tage point, there came another order
from the mullah. The women and
children were to be left in camp next
dawn, and to remain there until sent
for. There was murmuring at that
around the camp, and especially among
Kings contingent But King laughed.

They murmured a while, but they
gave the orders to their women, and
King watched the women nod.
Even as Yasmini had tested him and
tried him before tempting him at last
she must be watching him now, for
even the East repeats itself. She had
sent Ismail for that purpose. 1t was
likely that her course would depend on
his. If he failed, she was done with
him. If he succeeded in establishing a
strong position of his own, she would
yield. With or without IsInails aid,
with or without his enmity, he must
control his eighty men and give the
slip to the mullah, and he went at once

about the golden hair. But, as the
sentry said, no doubt Partan Singh
was jealous.
There is no doubt whatever that the
general went back to Peshawur in the
train at eight O'Clock and that the
hangar went with him In separate
compartment with about dozen hill
men chosen from among those who had
come down with King.
And it is certain that before they
went King had talk with the Hangar
in Il room alone. of which conversa-
ton, however. the sentry reported aft
erward that he did not oyerhear one
word and he had to go to the doctor
with cold in his ear Mt that. He said

And If that was really Rewa Gunga

why did Ismail insist on riding In the

to go up the Khyber with him7
