KINGrf KHYBER RIFLES

J?y TALBOT MUNDY

Commr 1916 Br Tin Bobm-Mbuhu. Co

King went and stood under the center light with his left arm bared. The prisoners? emerging like dead men out 'of tombs, blinked at the bright light saw him then the bracelet and saluted. ' "May God be with thee!" growled each of them. They stood still then, awaiting further developments. It did not seem to occur to any one of them as strange that a British officer in khaki uniform should be sporting Yasreini's talisman; . the thing was apparently sufficient explanation in itself. -Ye all know this?" he asked, holding up his wrist. "Whose is this?" Hers." 'The answer was monosyllabic and Instant from all thirty throats. "May Allah guard her. sleeping and awake." ' added one or two of them. King lit a cheroot and made mental note of the wisdom of referring to her by pronoun, not by name. "And I? Who am I?" he asked, since it saves worlds of trouble to have the other side state the case. Tfce Seciet Service was not designed for giving information, but discoverir.s it. Her mes.seiigor! Who else? Thou art be who shall take us to the 'Hills.' She promised!" ' "How did 6he know ye were in this jail?" he asked them, and one of the llillmen laughed like a Jackal, showing yellow eye-teeth. The others cackled in chorus after him. "Answer that riddle thyself or else ask her! Who are we? Bats, that can see in the night? Spirits, who ran hear through walls? Nay, we be plain men of the mountains!" "But where were ye when she promised?" "At Ali's. A11 of us at Ali's held for debt. We sent and begged of her. She sent word back by a woman that one of the sirkar's men shall free us and send us home. So wfc waited, eating shame and little else, at All's. At last came a sahib in a great rage, who ordered irons put on our wrists and us marched hlthtr. Only when each was pushed into a separate cell were the irons taken off again. Yet we were patient, fc.1 we knew this is part of her cunning, to t?et us away from AH without paying him. 'May All die of want,' baid we. with one voice all together in these cells! And now we be ready! They fed us before we had been in

here an hour. Our bellies be full, but we be hungry for the 'Hills'! King thought of the gold-hllted knife that still rested under his shirt. He was tempted to show It to them and find - out surely whose it was and what it meant But wisdom and curiosity seldom mingle. He thought of Ismail "Ursus, of Quo Vadis deg, desperado, stalking- horse and. Keeper of the Queen's secrets." It was not time yet to run risks with IsmaiL The knife ttayed where it was. - " I shall start for the Hills at dawn," he said slowly, and he watched their eyes gleam at the news. No caged tiger is as wretched as a prisoned Hillman. No freed bird wings more wildly for the open. No moth comes more foolishly back to the flame again. It was easy to take pity cn them probably not one of whom knew pity's meaning. "Is there any among you who would care to come " "Ah-h-h-h!" .

SAGE TEA BEAUTIFIES AND DARKENS HAIR 6on't Stay Gray! Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens Hair so Naturally That Nobody Can Tell. You can turn gray, faded hair, beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sate and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of thit old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other Ingredients, are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.

the price of strict obedience?"

"Eh-h-h-h-h!" It seemed there was no word in Pahtu that could express their willingness. "We be very, very weary for. our Hills '."explained the nearest man. "Aje!" King answered. "And ye all owe Ali!" "Uh-h-h-h-b!" But he knew better than to browbeat them on that account dust then, foi the men of the North are easier led than driven up to a certain point. Yet It is no bad plan to remind them of the fundamentals to begin with. "Will ye obey me, and him?", he asked, laying his, hand on Ismail's : Loulder, as much to let them see the hrarplet asrain as for any other

reason. "Aye! If we fall, Allah do more to

us!"

King laughed. "Ye shall leave this

place as my prisoners. Here ye have no friends. Here ye must obey. But v hat when ye come to your Hills at last? Can one man hold thirty men prisoners then? In the Hills will ye still obey me?" They answered him In chorus. Every man of the thirty and Ismail into tie bargain, threw his right hand in the air. "Allah witness that we will obey!" "Ah-h-'u"" said King. "I have heard Hillmen swear by Allah many a time. Many a time! The answer to that was unexpected.

Ismail knelt. seised his hand and pressed the gold bracelet to his Hps! In turn, every one of them filed by, knelt reverently and kissed the bracehit! ' "Saw ye ever a Hillman do that before?" asked Ismail. They will obey tbee! Have no fear!" "Kntch dar nahln hai!" King answered. "There Is no such thing as fear!" and Ismail grinned at him, not knowing that King was feeling as Aladdin must have done.

"I have heard you swear," said King; "be ye true men!" "Ah-h-h!" "Have they belongings that ought to be collected first?" he asked, and Ismail laughed. , ""So more than the dead have! A shroud apiece! All gave them bittercess to eat - and picked their teeth afterward for gleanings! They stand In what they own!" To be continued

Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water aar-h tnnrninff.

We should drink, before breakfast, a

glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,

sweeting and punrying me enure auamentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and. acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the rcses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but Is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try v it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly. Adv.
