’ CHAPTER XVII “A secret for a secret. I shall not whisper a word. But I have a curiosity to see a white man in a Kha hut. W>’l you lead me to him?” "Nay,-not for a thousand charms. My tribesmen would fill me with poisoned arrows till I look like a porcupine." He could not bring himself to urge this savage girl to risk her life at the hands of her vengeful tribesmen, so he tacked quickly. “I see then it is deep business, not for the ears of a Meuw trader. But do you dare go to him yourself?” “I shall ask our chief to let me carry the bowl for his evening meal. Then I shall beg a hair from his head as a remembrance.” “Yea, but there is a certain form to follow, or the charm is worthless. As you touch his head you must whisper ‘Virginia,’ the name of one of his gods, twice, in his ear. Can you pronounce it?” “Veer-geeniah,” the girl echoed, dutifully. “That is well. Do not forget. When you have all the ingredients, put them in a snail-shell and hide them under the door of your lover’s house. Later tonight I will seek my fee.” Ned returned to the cooking-fires and began to ingratiate himself with the tribesmen. He told of wonders seen on his travels, quoted beloved proverbs, and exchanged daring compliments with the deepbosomed Kha women. Yet like all good Meuws, he never forgot to k<>ep an eye on his horses. Frequently he disappeared in the darkness to see if they had found good grass, or had not yet caught their halter-ropes in the thorn. Once they heard him complaining loudly. “Oh, thou piebald son of devils! Thy mother was not a mare, but a witch. Why hast thou run tway, to make me chase thee half the night 1” Beyond the last ray of firelight Ned crouched behind a thorn bush md watched and waited. In a few minutes he saw the slim form of a Kha girl’living bronze in the flickering glare of the torches, take a oowl from the hands of the chief and tarry it into the darkness. He knew by her wild tread and the shine of ler eyes where she was going. Ned followed her through the gloom, taking pains that his sandals did not crack a twig or rattle a pebole. She sped so quickly that he soon lost sound of her; then he seard her voice, low-pitched and irilling through the dark. “I bring food for the white lord,” she said, evidently to a sentry. “Give it to me. I shall take it in.” “Nay. The chief told me to deliver it with my own hands.” Ned heard a bolt drawn, and saw i faint glimmer of light as a door spened and shut. Creeping nearer, se identified the building as the :ribal joss-house, a double-length jalm-roofed hut all but concealed oy a patch of jungle below the vilage road. In a moment or two the ioor opened and shut again, the bolt scraped into place, and the girl :rept by him, humming a savage tune. Ned stole off, waited a few minutes, then came walking boldly back coward the joss-house. Near and nearer —and still he heard no sound out his own careless feet in the pebbles. Yet he knew a sentry waited in the black silence, and he needed neither sight nor sound to tell that i poisoned arrow pointed at his oreast from a drawn bow. Would the Kha shoot first and ’hallenge afterward? Ned feared ;hat nervous dark hand unseen in :he deeper dark as he had feared iew things in his life. But just then a gobbling noise

broke the taut and long-drawn • silence. Ned had been expecting it —praying for it—but it rustled up , his hair just the same. “Peace!” he called in the Kha i t tongue. “I am a Meuw trader, guest of your chief. Have ye seen an J evil-starred, spavined, sway-backed jackal of a horse pass by here?” , “Nay. Go on quickly with your r search.” I “I shell look no more. He can [ catch his rope on the rocks and r break his evil neck for all I carp.” j Ned paused with a little cough. “Nay, I spoke in wrath. It is a good 3 horse, sound of wind and limb, a lucky animal —” ‘ “Now I know you are a Meuw trader of a certain,” the sentry ! laughed. “You would praise aped- . dler’s jackass for a king's Arab if [ you had him to sell.” s “He runs away from pure high spirit. Perhaps you would like to buy such a noble beast.” “Evil-starred, spavined, swaybacked—your very words. But my friend, you can do no trading here, i Go back quickly to the feast. There ' are matters afoot not for your eyes I and ears.” - “Great matters must they be, that a guard is posted at the door i of the joss-house. And another, ■ most likely, at the rear.” ' “Another sits just within the | door. Hear me now! This ground I is forbidden, even to Meuw traders who come and go like the ricebirds.” “Do your wizards do magic within? Will bad luck come to me that I have ventured so near? Give me leave at least to call on my gods, in my own tongue, to avert the curse.” “Call quickly, then, and go.” Ned raised his voice loud enough to carry through the bamboo walls of the joss-house, but instead of naming heathen he spoke English words. “Do not answer me, Tuan Griffin, but listen!” “Strange-sounding gods, you have, O Meuw,” the sentry scorned. Ned salaamed thrice and went on, his heart bursting with excitement. “It is I, T’Fan.” Now he employed the chanting tone of a priest saying a charm. “Just at moonset I will attack the sentry and try to get you out. Be ready and help me all you can.” “That is enough,” the sentry broke in. “Finish your rites at the feast.” Ned returned to find t*e Kha jubilee in full swing. It was a scene he would never forget—torches flaring, flame leaping, high-lights on naked skins, the gray moonlight over all. Now the drums began, slow at first, with rapidly-rising tempo. The great gongs came in, and an old Patriarch began to dance. Soon the very landscape seemed to sway and swing with scores of dancing men. Ned’s heart beat fast and faster, keeping time with the thump of the drums, the clang of the gongs. At such times it was hard to remember he was a white man and a spy. He had been nursed in the arms of Asia. Boom —pom, pom, pom, Boom—pom, pom, pom—knocking holes in the silence and thrilling to the stars. The dance reached its climax, and ; suddenly ceased. With yells of joy, : the tribesmen rolled out stone jars of rice wine. Bamboo tubes were , thrust in, at which the men took turns. Ned had a sound well-sea-soned head, so when his turn came, ■ he sucked till he could hardly breathe. But he made an impressive void in the jar, inciting his fel- > lows to even deeper draughts. I Meanwhile the moon was dipping i slowly toward the hills. ' After the wine drinking, the chiefs began to orate in highi pitched quavering voices. Ned's

(U.R) — Two Unlverslty of Miami students have discov-

i scalp prickled: now ne might hear ; the whole strange story of which i Griffin’s kidnapping was only n single chapter. But evidently the mat- , ter was too secret to trust to the ; rank and file, or unfold to the ears ( i of a wandering trader. Only one | ; guess was proven: that the Khas were in desperate fear of going back into slavery. But how the visit of a stray Frenchman could bring this about was beyond Ned's vivid imagination. When the moon was no higher I than eagle-flight over the hills, he strolled off beyond the torchlight Bridling two horses, one of which he also saddled, he led the rest to the foot of the trail, fastened up their halter ropes, and left them to graze. When he passed them in his desperate flight from the village, now almost at hand, they would probably follow their mates. Leading the two bridled horses, he tramped down the village road to the joss-house. The moon was just touching the bamboo thickets on the hills. The sentry challenged again. “Is it yob, you plague of a horse-ped-dler?” “Only I,” Ned answered in calm tones. “Is the business within finished yet? You asked to see a good horse, and I have brought two. Perhaps you have one to trade." The moon dipped lower, and now the black line of the hills cut it squarely in two. “1 asked to see your cursed donkeys? Go quickly, before I pierce your great gall with an arrow!” “Nay, but look. Even in the half- ' dark you can see his sound teeth, his noble eye.” Meanwhile Ned moved nearer and dropped the bridle reins so the horses would stand. “I warn you now,” the Kha began savagely. “Stand back—” And then with a last weird wink, the moon dived behind the hills. At the same instant Ned swerved to one side and struck—cool and straight and swift to the base of the Kha’s jaw. He dropped in silence, just as Ned had proposed. The only sound was the smack of knuckles on hard flesh, and the hum of the bow-string as the Kha’s hand went limp. Ned's swerve had saved hin. from the venomed point, and the next instant he was up the ladder and groping for the bolt of the joss-house. There was a yell and a sound of falling bodies within. Ned found the bolt and flung wide the door, to see Griffin, his hands bound behind his back, lying full on a squirming, yelling Kha and trying to hold him down. The savage was striving des- , perately to reach the long knife at his belt. Ned had drawn his pistol by now, but there was no need to alarm the village with its report. He bent—struck once with the barrel—jerked Griffin to his feet—and with one slash of the Kha’s knife freed his hands. ‘‘Follow me," he yelled. “That-a-boy,” Griffin shouted, in tremendous excitement. And now they were scampering down the ladder—and now Ned was helping his stiff muscle-bound companion into the saddle. Some one yelled in the darkness—an arrow hummed a vicious song—but now Ned too was up, and with hooves drumming and striking sparks from the stones of the road, they were i racing through a gaping crowd of tribesmen toward the hill. As they darted up the slope, and bells began to jingle as the packanimals swung in behind, Ned almost gave himself away by shouting Yankee Doodle to the rhythm of flying hooves. (To be continued.)
