THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1917 merisra, which is the East's chief weapon. -' ' ' Rewa Gunga, perfectly at- home, sprawled leisurely along a cushioned couch with a grace that the West has not learned yet; but King did not make the mistake of trusting him any better for his easy manners, and his eyes sought swiftly for some unrythmic, unplanned thing on which to rest that he might save himself by a sort of mental leverage. --iGlancing along the wall that faced the big window, he noticed .for the first time a huge Afridi, who sat on a stool and leaned back against the silken hangings with arms folded. "Who is that man?" he asked. "He? Oh, he Is a savage Just a big savage," said Rewa Gunga, looking vaguely annoyed. f "Why is he here?" He did not dare let go of this chance side-issue. He knew that Rewa Gunga wished him to talk of Yasminl and to ask questions about her, and that if he succumbed to that temptation all his self-control would be cunningly sapped away from him until his secrets, and, his .very senses, belonged to some one else. "What is he doing : here?" he Insisted. "He? Oh, he does nothing. He waits," purred the Rangar. "He is to be your body-servant on your jour ney to the North. He is nothing nobody at all! except that he is to be trusted, utterly because he loves Yasminl. .He is Obedience. A big obedient fool! Let him be!" "No." said King. "If he's to be my man 111 speak to him!". '. To be continued KING-oe KHYBER RIFLES IjuJl r Romance cfjtfJvnturG M TALBOT MUNDY ; 1916 Br Tn ILL Ce
CHAPTER III It was a musty smelling entrance, bo dark that to see was scarcely possible after the hot glare outside. Dimly King made out Rewa Gunga mountIns stairs to the left and followed him. The stairs wound backward and forward on themselves four times, growing scarcely any lighter as they ascended, until, when he guessed himself two stories at least above road level, there was a sudden blaze . of vcflected light and he blinked at more mirrors than he could count. They had been swung on hinges suddenly to throw the light full In his face. There were curtains reflected In each mirror, and little plowing lamps, so cunningly arranged that it was not possible to guess which were real and which were not. Rewa Gunga offered no explanation, but stood . watching with quiet amusement. He seemed to expect King to take a chance and go forward, but If he did he reckoned without his guest. King stood still. Then suddenly, as if she had done it a thousand times before and surprised a thousand people, a little nut-brown maid parted the middle pair of curtains and said . "Salaam!" smiling with teeth that were as white as porcelain. All the other curtains-parted too, so that the whereabouts of the door might still have been in doubt had she not spoken and so distinguished herself from her reflection. King looked scarcely Interested and not at all disturbed. Balked of Ms amusement, Rewm Gunga harried past him, thrusting the little maid aside, and led the way. King followed him into a long room, whose walls were bung with richer silks than any he remembered to have seen. In a great wide window to one side some twenty women began at once to make flute music. Silken punkahs swung from chains, wafting back and forth a cloud of sandalwood smoke that veiled the whole scene In mysterious, scented mist. Through the open window came the splash of a fountain and the chattering of birds, and the branch of a feathery tree drooped near by. It seemed that the long white wall below was that of Yasmini's garden. "Be welcome!" laughed Rewa Gunga; "I am to do the honors, since she is not here. Be seated, sahib." King chose a divan at the room's farthest end, near tall curtains that led into rooms beyond. He turned his
back toward the reason for his choice. On a little ivory-inlaid ebony table about ten feet away lay a knife, that was almost the exact duplicate of the onm inside his shirt. Bronze knives
of ancient date, with golden- handles carved to represent a woman dancing, are rare. The ability to seem not to notice incriminating evidence is. rarer still rarest of all when under , the yes of a native of India, for cats and hawks are dullards by comparison to them. But King saw the knife, yet did not seem td see it. ' There was nothing there calculated to set an Englishman at ease. In spite of the Rangar's casual manner, Yasmini's reception room felt like the antechamber to another world, where mystery is atmosphere and ordinary air to breathe Is not at all. He could sense hushed expectancy on every side could feel the eyes of many women fixed on him and began to draw on his guard as a fighting man draws on armor. There and then he deliberately 6et himself to resist mes-
