Diana's mind shrank from the pic
ture that his words painted, as a man
might shrink from a clutching leper.
"A white woman marries only when
she loves" she said unstesdily.
LAS thou wilt love me-" the man
retorted
I will love only him who shall
prove that I am dearer to him than
his life!"
The Cobra's great laughter re-
verberated in the still night.

shouted wilt thou, then, that a
man kill himself and then marry?"
Go down to the horses-thou"
At ease in the loose. blue smock and
baggy thousand pleated Hillman's
trousers that were gathered in at the
ankles, Diana slowly made her way
downward. The half-naked young
ster who had brought her the bundle
led up to her a gray Kathiawari
gelding.

The young Hillman ran up and
caught the head of Dianas horse.
Il will bring you food!' he NUT
tered as he led it away.
A score of fires quickly sprang up
among the boulders as The Cobra S
men started to cook the morning
meal.
Presently he returned. holding out
boiled rice, in the center of which
we're pieces of broiled goats flesh.
She thanked and asked: What is
your nsme?"
'Firoz." he answered. And. avert

stone and walked quickly away.
Three horsemen were now coming
over the top of the pass. The camel
track that led to the spot where The
Cobra was sitting surrounded by half
a dozen of his sidars. or officers,
passed within a few feet of Diana
The three riders we're coming along it.
Their apparent leader was a slim,
handsome youth wearing a paleblue
silk headdresS. and who rode with
the easy grace of a finished horse
man. AS he drew level with Diana
he gave violent jerk to his horses
mouth, causing the beast to rear with
pain. Then he sat for a few moments
motionless, his slim hands resting on

sahib saw me come!" And turning,
he left her.
Hardly had he gone when around
the corner of the boulder came the
jaunty figure of Shireen in her pale
blue silk puggri and mans clothes.
She seemed about II years of age.
Shorter than Diana, her childish face
with its determined little chin and
senuously sensitive mouth made fas-
cinating picture. Behind one small
ear was tucked a red rose.
Measuring the English girl with in
solent, heavy-lidded eyes, she spread
her feet apart in a mannish pose.
lingering a turquoise handled riding
whip held across her thighs.
"Listen" she said tersely. do not
speak to him againl II you do 1 will
lash your white dolls face. !"
The horsewhip swished viciously
and there was an ugly whiteness at
the corner of the chiselled nostrils.
Something told Diana to remain
seated. A difference of height is not
always an advantage to the taller of
two persons when the shorter is mad
with jealousy and holds whip.
"You-admire The Cobra very much;
and l can understand it," Diana said
adroitly. HE is brave and daring
man."
MY lord is the bravest man in the
world" exclaimed Shireen passion
ately. so many women love him
that Allah the Bestower alone knows
why he should need you'll He doesn't
need you!" she went on tensely.
You understand? He will weary of
you in q week-if you live as long!"
The English girl saw the danger,
and met it.
The Cobra is nothing to mel" she
said inditferently, with difficulty re-
pressing a shudder. And then she
lied, and glorified in the lying. Il

new-risen sun.

asked
Diana sprang to her feet. "He" was

eagerly, going up to the fretting ami

its wet neck. "the daughter of the
Inglis Resident sahib in Labak-"
Il care not who you be!' said the
girl rider furiously, her dark eyes
flashing. MY name is Shireen. And
I hate you'll"
Wheeling her mount, she lashed it
with her riding whip and rocketed
over to Alan Khan in a scurry of
small stones. He did not rise to greet
her, but as Diana wiped from her face
a fieck of foam tossed from the horses
head she felt that she had new
enemy.
1t was quite clear to Diana Lindsay
that the only person who might have
some slight sympathy for her in her
desperate plight was Firoz, the young
Hillman whose clothes The Cobra had
forced her to wear. Instinct told her
that the boy liked her, and that a
tactful exercise of, womanly wiles
might produce active help from him.
But a quarter Of an hour passed be-
fore Firoz returned.
BE welcome. o Firoz Khan" she
said in the idiom. and giving to him
the princely title claimed by all from
tier Hillmen.
Picking up the empty rice bowl, he
stood gazing at her, his forehead knit
into a froWn.
1t was now or never she told herself.
"Firoz Khan" she said softly, 'can
we not be friends? My father"
Water is younder!" he interrupted
quickly, with a sideways jerk of his
head in the direction of The Cobra,
who was sitting in conference with
his lieutenants.
The beating of her heart almost
stifled her, but her voice was careSs-
ing.
Won't you tell me where I am, o
Firoz?" she questioned, her eyes ap-
pealing.

Along the tops of the great hills
there was now pale lavender glow.
Dawn was breaking. Diana could see
long line of mounted men, ghost
like in the half-light, winding its
tortuous way down the narrow track
in the hillside. each man with a rifle
Slung across his back-Some of them
with two. She turned her head, WON
dering how many more there were
behind her.

The Cobra was watching her. and
he fingered the rifle balanced across
his saddle bow.
For hours they rode on through the
barren heights and deep, abrupt val
leys, now and then fording a foaming
torrent, and then. at the top of a
high pass, the long cavalcade halted.
