But the man in a red turban, who
had been watching the conversation,
made signal. A constable, who
had been lettering through the ba-
zaar, abruptly turned his back and
walked away. The man in the red
turban rushed at Moses, not show
ing his knife until he was almost
within stabbing distance. But his
tempo was wrong. Perhaps he new
er learned soccer. Certainly he had
never learned boxing; he carried his
chin much too far forward. It was
an absolutely perfect target for
Moses toe, which very nearly broke
from the impact. The man in the
red turban dropped without a groan,
motionless, stunned. Moses picked
up his knife, wiped it carefully,
smelt the blade and ran his thumb
gently along the edge. A very dirty
looking person in huge soiled white
turban and ragged clothing emerged
from a doorway and grinned at
Moses. Moses handed him the
knife:
"Khabardar bona! Zahr!-Watch
out. That things poisoned. I can
smell it. See here now: I'm off to
the cock-fghts-after that, a woman
Il don't know yet which woman,
but she'll be a tiger-cat, so stand
by. There'n be others laying for
me. Use that knife if you have to.
I've got to dig to the bottom of this"
Norwood cantered from the Resi-
dency toward the guesthouse; to
have galloped would have been
bit too noticeable. Even so, he was
delayed, near the end of the street
that leads toward the teeming Sec
ton of the city. Moses O'Leary
stood there watching for him. He
looked filthy, and at least partially
drunk. But he made signals. 1t
was almost never wise to ignore
O'Leary's signals. Norwood drew
rein.
"Hssst!" said o'Leary. 1--WE
newS!"

any number O. times: I'm a bad
man, am. There's almost nothing
I amt guilty of, one time or an
other. But I've this to my credit.
I'm the wet and dry nurse to. a
gentleman That's what I said"
"What do you mean by all over
the bazaar? Who told your"
''All the gamblers know it."
Hold your tongue. Go straight
back to the camp. Wait there for
me-"
"But I've more news-worse than
that news"

your tongue. Return to camp and
wait for me. I'm going to the

When he arrived at the gates he
turned his horse over to one of the
guards.
There were five huge trunks on
the veranda and three native serv-
ants. Mrs. Harding, looking pale
and in vile temper, reclined on
the chaise Tongue, experimenting
the packing of the trunks.
Good afternoon. Can l speak to
Miss Lynn Harding?"
Norwood's voice startled her. The
certainty that he had overheard her
remarks to the servants increased
her anger. She didn't even invite
him on to the veranda.
"No."
Sorry" said Norwood. II must.
Where is she?"
Must? Oh, well, come in, Captain
Norwood. Tell one of these imbe-
Giles to take the things off that

sufficient high cards to justify an opening bid.
 At this point Fishbein led the five of clubs. North played low, dummy's ten-spot went on and South was forced to win with the queen. As South had neither spades nor diamonds, he had to lead a heart or a club. If he led the king of hearts, Fishbein would refuse to win. conserving the ace-jack, while a club lead would be up to dum- my's king, giving Fishbein the extra trick he needed for his contract.
 Of course, South scolded his partner for not shifting to a club at once after the diamond king held. Such defense is always easier to see after the hand is over.
