what All Khan didn't know. But he knew
that his brothers hatred of Feng was dam
gerous.
Nobody here is stupid enough to believe
that" Guam Swee said, staring right into
Feng's narrow ten-minutes-to-two eyes. Bah
Soon was my friend, and know better than
anybody how he hated the jungle people and
despised them. That was why he decided to
work as policeman. to help save us from
their robberies and extortions and murders"
UNDER the pale, kissing pressure lamp the
faces passed from shock to CONSERVATION and
dread. All Khan saw the brown feet of Lee
Hal. the carpenter, 60 rigid with fear, and the
sfavings caught between his toes began to
tremble.
I'VE ordinary poor folk are always the
first victims Of the jungle people, Guam Swee
declared, raising his voice defiantly. But if
even quarter of us rose against them they
would be wiped out, and we should have peace
from their extortions and prosecutions. And
that would bring peace from the questionings
and searchings Of the soldiers and police and
the governments curfew and restrictions
IF only quarter of us could throw off our
fear and act together. every man of the jungle
people would starve or be killed or captured
on our information"
Feng said nothing. Feng, always 50 know
all and argumentative, said nothing. Maybe,
thought An Khan, because he was as scared
as the rest of them by Guam Swee's reckless
outspokenness

himself to death, young All Khan was sitting
right beside him. All Khan was only eleven
years old, but he was smart enough to know at
once that talk like his brothers was dangerous.
What Guam Swee said was no more than
what over nine hundred of the thousand
inhabitants of Kulang village thought to
themselves - or, for that matter, what over
five million of the five million odd inhabitants
of Malaga thought to themselves. But only
the most foolhardy would have risked saying
it aloud in the hearing of others.
Somebody had referred to the disappear
ance of Bah Soon, the coffee-shop keepers
son, who hadn't been seen or heard of since
he'd left the shop five days ago on his way to
town to volunteer for police training. Con-
straint, like sudden shadow, fell across the
group at the mention of his name.
Feng Koo broke the uneasy silence.
1T is best to be silent about Bah Soon, " he
said. He has surely joined the jungle people"
They always referred to the terrorists that
way. The jungle people.
All Khan turned sick inside him as he saw
his brothers hand twitch and his mouth open.
Guam Swee had always hated Feng - the
know-all, the sneerer, the loafer who some
how managed to grow fat and dress 50 fashily
while honest men worked all the hours of day
light for lifetime to earn little prosperity.
There was something between them, too,

three had heard the shooting as they arrived
for a swim.
They had Dyak tracker with them, and
he found the bandit tracks almost at once.
Only ten minutes later firing broke out up the
hillside, just as the first villagers reached the
clearing. All Khan had climbed down from
his tree and joined the group Of neighbcrs
round his brothers body.
When the officer came with an interpreter
that night he said his men had wounded one
terrorist and began following blood trail.
but when darkness fell they'd had to return.
To the officers questions All Khan replied
that when his brother had been killed he had
been some distance away in the jungle and
saw nothing.
His brother had opened his mouth and con-
demned himself to death. He was going to
keep his shut.

It wasn't only his tongue that All Khan
guarded. His grave young eyes and face gave
nothing away nothing Of his heartbceak or
his love for Guam Swee. nothing Of his hate
for the man who had betrayed him. nothing of
his passionate determination to avenge him.
With a composed. impassive face lie crashed
the cymbals at the funeral to drive away the
evil spirits from his brothers newly fedged
soul and after the funeral, while his mother
wept over Guam Swees bloodstained blue
pants as she washed them and spread them
over bush to dry, he set of into the jungle.

wounded terrorist was dead. If he wasn't
dead, he would have to try and find him and
kill him.
He found the blood trail easily enough. The
soldiers had been over it again in the early
morning, and he followed their tracks and the
occasional spots Of black, dried blood on the
disturbed leaves. The trail ended IN small

there, one wounded leg already sucked down

No, Bah Soon has not joined the jungle
people," his brothers strong contemptuous
voice denied. Somebody passed word to the
jungle people that he was going to enlist in
the fight against them. and they ambushed
him on his way to town and murdered him.
We all know it must have been that"
And still Feng said nothing. He said not
word more that evening. Soon after Lee Hal,
the carpenter, had broken in nervously to
change the subject, Feng got up silently and
slouched OUT.
That was the evening Guam Swee sentenced
himself to death. Next day, when the SEN
tence was carried out, An Khan was again
close by.
He and Guam Swee had returned from the
mine and were climbing the path to their
bathing place up the hill back Of the village.
Most days they climbed up to the lake IN the
foothills, though Feng. whose family owned
the fish traps ON the lake. had once tried to
warn them off. It was fresher there than in
the village pool below.
All KHAN had stopped to study new wild
pig track, 50 Guam Swee was several yards
ahead when he emerged into the clearing by
the lake. The ambush caught him in the act
of throwing off his tattered shirt, and one of
the first bullets slammed through his naked
chest. The last time All Khan saw his brother
alive he was advancing on his killers Wounded,
unarmed, but advancing.
BY the time All Khan had made his silent
way through the jungle edge to the old ram
bsst0n tree that was his favorite perch for
shooting birds with his catapult for supper.
Guam Swee was lying dead just below him and
two terorists in jungle green uniforms. with
the red stars on their caps and rifles in their
hands, were retreating up the jungle slope
that overhlmg the lake.
Beside the body, with its twisted brown
arms and twisted legs in old blue cotton pants,
stood Feng. As An Khan watched, he stared
down for a moment and then kicked at the
still head 90 that the handsome, unwounded
face fell back and looked up blindly. Then
Feng nodded slightly and turned down the
path to the village.
The soldiers were there within five minutes.
Their camp was down the other side of the
foothill at the old assistant managers bunga-
low mile away; but their bathing pool was
within quarter of that distance and these
