"Welcome, King ahib!" he laughed, with the air of a skilled fencer who admires another, better one. "I shall know better another time and let you keep In front of me! No moreettlng first Into a train and settling down for the night; It may. not be easy to follow you, and I suspect it isn't, but at least It jolly well can't be such a job as leading you! I trust you had a comfortable Journey?" "Thanks," said King, shaking hands with him, and then turning away to unlock the carriage doors that held his prisoners in- They were baying now like wolves to be free, and they surged out, like wolves from a cage, to clamor round the Ran gar, pawing him and struggling to be first to ask him questions. "Nay, ye mountain people; aayl" be laughed. "I, too, am from the I'lsilns! What do I know of your families or of your feuds? Am I to be torn to pieces to make a meal?" At that Ismail interfered, with the aid at an ash pick-handle, chancefound beside the track. "Hill-bastards!" he pawled at them, "Hill-bastards!" he bawled at them, sheaves and his cudgel were a flail. "Sons of nameless mothers! Forgotten of God! Shameless! Brood of the evil one! Hands off!" King bad to stop him, not that he feared trouble, for they did not seem to resent either abuse or cudgeling in the least and that In itself was food for thought; but broken shoulders are no use for carrying loads. Laughing as if the whole thing was ibe greatest Joke imaginable, Rewa Gimga fell into stride beside King and led him away la the direction of some tents. "She is up the Pass ahead of us," he

announced. "She .was in the deuce of a hurry, I can assure you. She wanted to wait and meet you, but matters were too Jolly well urgent, nd we shall have our bally work cut out to catch her, you can bet! But I have everything ready tents and beds and stores everything!" King looked over his shoulder to make sure that Ismail was bringing the little leather bag along. "So have I," he said quietly. "I have horses," said Rewa Gunga, "and mules and " "How did she travel up the KhyberT King asked him, and the Rangar spared him a curious sidewise ,lar.ce. "On a horse. You should have seen the horse!" "What escort had she?" "She?" . Rewa Gunga chuckled and then suddenly grew serious. "The Hills' are her escort, King sahib. She is mistress in the 'Hills.' There isn't a murdering ruffian who wouldn't lie down and let her walk on him. She rade away alone on a thoroughbred mare and she jolly well left me the mare's double on which to follow her. Come and look." Not far from where the tents had been pitched in a cluster a string of horses . whinnied at a picket rope. King saw the two good horses ready for himself, and ten mules beside them that would have done credit to any outfit. But at the end of the line pawing at the trampled grass, was a black mare that made his eyes open wide. Once in a hundred years or so a viceroy's cup, or a Derby is won by an animal that can stand and look and move as that mare did. "Just watch!" the Rangar boasted, hooking up the bit and throwing off the blanket. And as he mounted into the native-made rough-hide saddle a shout went up from the fort and native officers and half the soldiery came out to watch the poetry of motion. The mare was not the only one

worth watching; her rider shared the praise. There was something unexpected, although not in the least ungainly, about the Rangar's seat in the saddle that was not the ordinary, graceful native balance and yet was full of grace. King ascribed the difference to the fact that the Rangar had seen no military service, and before the inadequacy of that explanation had asserted itself he had already forgotten to criticize in sheer admiration. 1 There was none of the spurring and back-reining that some native bloods of India mistake for horsemanship. The Rangar rode with sympathy and most consummate skill, and the result was that the mare behaved as if she were part of him, responding to his thoughts, putting, foot where he wished her to put it and showing her wildest turn of speed along a level stretch in instant response to his mood. "Never saw anything better," King admitted ungrudgingly, as the mare Came back at a walk to her picket rope. . "There is only one mare like this one," laughed the Rangar. "She has her." "What'll you take for this one?"

King asked bim. "Name your price!" "The mare is hers. . You must ask her. Who knows? She Is generous. There is nobody on erath more generous than she when she cares to be. See what you wear on your wrist!" "That is a loan," said King, uneavering the bracelet. "I shall give it back to her when we meet." "See what she says when you meet! laughed the Rangar, taking a cigaret from his jeweled case with an air and smiling as he. lighted it. "This ia your tent, sahib." He motioned with the cigaret toward a tent pitched quite a hundred yards away from the others and from the Rangar's own; with the Rangar's and the cluster of tents for the men It made an equilateral triangle, so that both he and the Rangar had privacy. With a nod of dismissal King walked Over to inspect the bandobast, and

I Foulard Comes

V.'-

Into Its Own Again

This Summer we are wisely revising1 our fondness for foulard. A little frock of blue, spotted in white, is claiming enthusiastic attention. The surplice waist has a collar of blue satin to match the skirt of that material. The long surplice crosses around the waist twice and goes through a little eyelet to end in a long sash end, faced in the blue. The width of the collar frames the face and throat most becomingly and the soft panier-like fullness is so draped that even a fairly stout woman can wear it. The long sleeves button over quaint, flat, silver discs and have cuffs of organdie falling softly over the wrist.

finding it much more extravagant than he would have dreamed of providing for himself, he -lit one of his black cheroots, and with hands clasped behind bim strolled over to the fort to interview Courtenay, the officer commanding. It so happened that Courtenay had gone up the Pass that morning with his shotgun after quail. He came back into view, followed by his little ten-man escort just as King neared the fort, and King timed his approach so as to meet him. The men of the escort were heavily burdened; he could see that from a distance. "Hello!" he said by the fort gate, cheerily, after he had saluted and the salute had been returned. "Oh, hello. King! Glad to see you. Heard you were coming, of course. Anything I can do?" "Tell me -anything you know," said King, offering him a cheroot which

the other accepted. As he bit off the end they stood facing each other, so that King could see theoncoming escort and what it carried. Courtenay read his eyes. To be continued .

GAIL KANE, famous beauty of the movies, is a plun.r in hats. Miss Kane is a very normal young woman who lives with her mother, saves a part of her salary . and enjoys the same recreations as do other healthy, live girls. But she has a weakness for hats and she indulges it to her heart's content. "I don't have to have the most luxurious motor even a flivver would do 'but I do have to have pretty hats," explained Miss Kane to an in

terviewer in Los Angeles the other day when she was on one of her millinery shop orgies, during an intermission between scenes in "The Woman in Black," her new Mutual production, which is being filmed at the American studios, Santa Barbara. Here she is in one of the two dozen new creations which she has just added, to her collection. She originated the general design herself and made the milliner give a pledge that she wouldn't make a copy of it.
