THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1917

KING- KHYBER RIFLES JBt T3LBOT MUNDY

The TUngar's eyes blazed for a eec-; end and then ?rew cold again (as King did not fall to observe). He knew as well as the Ran gar that not many" men would have kept their will so unfettered in that room as to be able to give independent orders. He iceoKnized resignation, temporary at least, in the Rangar's attitude of leaning back again to watch from under lowered eyelids. It was like being watched by a cat All this while the women danced on. In time to wailing flute-music, until, it reemed from nowhere, a lovelier woman than any of them appeared in their midst, sitting cross-legged with a flat basket at her knees. She sat with arms raised and swayed from the waist as if in a delirium. Her arms moved in narrowing circles, higher and -higher above the basket lid, and the Ud began to rise. Nobody touched it, nor was there any string but as it rose, it swayed with sickening monotony. , ' It was minutes before the bodies of two great Wngcobras could be made out, moving against the woman's spangled dress. The basket lid was resting on their heads, and as the music and the chanting rose to a wild weird shriek the lid rose too. until suddenly the woman snatched the lid away, and the snakes were revealed, with hoods raised, hissing the cobra's haba-song that is . prelude to the poison-death. They struck at the woman, one after the other, and she leaped out of their range, swift and as supple as they. Instantly then she Joined in the dance, with the snakes striking right and left at her. Left and right she swayed to avoid them, far more gracefully than a matador avoids the bull and courting a deadlier peril than hepoisonous, two to his one. As she danced she whirled both arms above br head and cried as the were-wolves are said to do on stormy nights. Some unseen hand drew a blind

over the great window ana an eerie Rreen and golden light began to play from one end of the room, throwing the dancers into half-relief and deepening the mystery. Sweet strange scents were wartea In from under the silken hangings. The room grew cooler by unguessed means. Every sense was treacherously wooed. And ever, in the middle ot the moving light among the languorous dancers, the snakes pursued the woman! . . "Do you do this often?" wondered King, in a calm aside to Rewa Gunga, turning hair toward him and taking his eyes off the dance without any very great effort. Rewa Gunga clapped his hands ana the dance ceased. The woman spirited ber snakes away. The blind was drawn upward and in a moment all was normal again with the punkah swineing slowly overhead, except that the seductive smell remained, that was like the early-morning breath or all the diffeient flowers of India. "If she were here," said the Rangar, a little grimly with a trace of disappointment in his tone "you would not natch your eyes away like that! You would have been jolly well transfixed, my friend. These she that woman ' they are but clumsy amateurs! If 'she were here, to dance with her snakes for you. yon would have been jollv well dancing with her. if she bad wiBhfd it! Perhaps you Bhall see her

dance some day! Ah. here is Ismail." he added in an altered tone or voice? He seemed relieved at sight of the Afrldi. ' - Bursting through the glass-bead curtains at the door, the great savage strode down the room, holding out a telegram. Rewa Gunga looked aa if he would have snatched it, but King's hand, was held out first and Ismail gave It to him. With a murmur of conventional apology King tore the envelope and in a second his eyes were e blaze with something more than wonder. A mystery, added to a mystery, stirred all the seal in him. But in a second he had sweated his excitement down. Read that, will you?" he said, passing it to Rewa Gunga. It was not in cvvher, but in plain every-day English. ' "She has not gone North " it ran. She is still in Delhi. Suit your own movements to your plans." "Can you explain?" asked King in a level voice. He was watching the Hancar narrowly, yet he could not

"Tnlatn?" said the Ran ear. "Who

can explain foolishness? It means that another fat general has made another

fat mistake!" . . -

"What makes you so certain- she

went North?" King asked.

Instead of answering Rewa Gunga

beckoned Ismail, who had stepped back out of hearing. The giant came

and loomed over them , like the Spirit

of the Lamp of the "Arabian Nights."

The word "came", was the only clue to his meaning, for In the language he used "yesterday" and "tomorrow" are the same word; such is the East's estimate of time. ' " To be continued
