TO look behind him.. but now in this
quieter street he heard the sound OF run

him three other men coming on behind
Mustapha. But 1t didn't matter who they
we're now, for he had another glimpse of
the white head-dress Of Won Hengel, and
saw him run up some steps which seemed
to be at the rear Of the Mosque.
And so, confiding his companion to the
dragoman, he put on a burst of speed
and reached the steps, catching a glimpse
of a dimly lighted interior as the wooden
door swung heavily shut Just as he put
his shoulder against it. He tried the latch,
hut a commotion OF falling bolts warned
him that he had failed.
