boastingly:
ut is easy to conquer. Easy to help
yourself to the pick of the world. See
me understanding up s~traight-"a
desperate man if ever there lived one
and ready to build me an empire. And
what do I need? No more than seven
strong men to follow me-"
"Only seven?" wonderingly.
aye! With seven men, on a fine,
foggy night, surprising the garrison at
the gate and putting it to the sword,
I can take the town Of Balkh, four
days from here, and sweat gold out OF
the paunchy bazaar merchants and
levy from their wives a toll OF hon
eyed kisses. Being victorious, / shall
gather there other warriors. Perhaps
a hundred. Enough to attack Kanda-
bar. Kandahar falls, / treat it gener-
ously, exacting nc more than a thou
sand camel loads of jewels-and, out
of gratitude and admiration, every
proper male of that town will follow
my banner. Seven hundred men then!
At least seven hundred tall men riding
to battle! And-ah"-his imagination
grew wings; he threw his chin up and
stamped with his foot cross the
border. India is before me. India
trembles. I conquer Peshawar. /
sweep Delhi and the splendid places
Of the south into my breeches. I con-
fer titles and riches upon my faith
full captains. More warriors enlist un-
der my escutcheon until-by Allah and
by Allah!-I have a host-with power
over life and limb, over cities and
~plains-and the %neighboring kings
holding their very breath attendant
upon my notions and whims. And

"All of it?" thinly demanded Hamdi

Every single last square mile, oh re-
grettable wart!" roared Terek, giving
him a black look. For that on which
