CHAPTER XIII.

The dance went on for fifteen min
utes yet, but then-quite Unexpectedly
all the arena guards together fired a
volley at the roof, and the dance
stopped as if every dancer had beea
hit notwithstanding at the mouth,
some of them-the dancers ran to their
seats and set the crowd surging again,
leaving the arena empty Of all but the
guards.
Now man stood up near the edge
of the crowd whom King recognized {;
and recognition brought no joy with 1T.
The mullah without hair or eyelashes,
who had admitted him and his party
through the mosque into the caves
strobe out to the middle Of the arena
all alone, strutting and staggering. He
recalled the mans last words and drew
no consolation from them, either.

out by a different roadw
Cold chills went down his back. All

Throw I'll Throw It'll Throw ltw

The crowd was growing impatient.
Many men were standing, waving their
arms to draw attention TO themselves.
Catching Yasmini's eyes, he knew 1t
had not entered her head that he might
disobey.
He looked past her toward the river.
There were no guards near enough to
prevent what he intended; but he had
to bear in mind that the guards had
rifles, and il he acted too suddenly one
of them might shoot at him unbidden.
Holding the head before him with both
hands, he began to walk toward the
river, edging all the while little to-
ward the crowd as If meaning to get
nearer before he threw. He reached the
river and stood there.
His next move made every savage
who watched him gasp because OF Its
very unexpectedness. He held the
head in both hands, threw 1t far out
into the river and stood to watch 1t
sink. Then, without visible emotion Of
any kind he walked back stolldly to
face Yasmini at the bridge end, with
shoulders n little more stubborn now
than they ought to be. and chin a shade
too high, for there never was man
who could act quite perfectly,
"Thou fool" Yasmnl whispered
through lips that did not move. She

She nodded once; and then all was
over ln a minute. With ringing 'Hoi !"
and run, the guards lifted their vic
tins shoulder high and bore them for
ward. At the river bank they paused
for second to swing them. Then, with
another "Ho" they threw them like
dead rubbish into the swift black wa
ter.
There was only one wild scream that
went echoing and re-echoing to the
roof. There was scarcely splash,
and no extra ripple at all. No heads
came up again to gasp. No fingers
clutched at the surface. The fearful
speed of the river sucked them under
to grind and ehurn and pound them
through long caverns underground and
hurl them at last over the great cata-
ract toward the middle of the world.
"Ah-h-h-h-h p sighed the crowd in
ecstasy.
SIS there no other stranger?" asked
Yasmini, searching for King again with
her amazing eyes. The skin all down
his back turned there and then into
goosehesh. And as her eyes met his
she laughed like bell at him. She
knew! She knew who he was, how he
had entered, and how he felt. Not a
doubt Of it

This was courteous conversation ana
received as such-many long league
removed from curiosity.
"Who am I to foretell mans kis-

what I think | know thee, hakim, for

"That I will dress the wound for
thee again!"
Artless statements are as useful in
their way as artless questions. Let
the guile lie deep, that is all.
''Nay, nay! For she said nayl Shall
I fall foul Of her, for the sake of new
bandage?"
The temptation was terrific to ask
why she had given that order, but King
resisted it; and presently lit occurred
to the Pathan that his own theories on
the subject might be of interest.
"She will use thee for a reward" he
said. ''He who shall win and keep her

trapped she-tigers, but followed II In
stantly with her loveliest smile.
"Slay him!" yelled lone voice, that
was greeted by an approving murmur.
"This is q darbart" Yasmini an

There was silence, as whipped I'M
willing pack Is silent.
Speak, thou Kurram Khani Tell
them why |" she said, smiling. No man
could have guessed by the tone of her
voice whether she was for him or
against him, and the crowd, beginning
again to whisper, watched to see which
way the cat would jump.
He bowed low to her three times
very low indeed and very slowly, for he
had to think. Then he turned his back
and repeated the obeIsance to the
crowd.
"My brothers." he said, and his voice
became that Of man whose advice

Yasmini smiled. Taking its cue from
her, the crowd murmured, scarcely as
sent, but rather recognition Of the ha-
kim's adroitness. The game was not
won; there lacked touch to tip the
scales in his favor, and Yasmini sup
piled 1t with ready genius.
"The hakim speaks the truth ~ she
laughed.
King turned about instantly TO face
her, but he salaamed so low that she
could not have seen his expression had
she tried.

Muhammad Amin rose, stroking his

and fidgeted, meeting nobody's eye and
