"I can't tell. you" said Athelstan, "why we're s not ' attacking brother Turk before he's ready. I imagine Whitehall has its hands full. ' But It's likely enough that the 'Turk will throw in-his lot with the Prussians tHe minute he's ready to begin. Meanwhile my job is to help make the holy war -seem unprofitable to the tribes, so that they'll let the Turk down hard when he calls on 'em. Every day that I can point to forts held stiongly in the . Khyber is a .day in my favor. There are sure to be raids. In fact, the more the- merrier.-provided they are spasmodic. We must keep 'em separated keep m from swarming too fast while I sow. other seeds among 'em." , 'His brother nodded. " Sowing seeds was almost that family's hereditary Job. Athelstan continued: "Hang on to All Masjid like a leech, old man! The day one raiding Ioshkar gets command of the . Khyber's throat, the others'l! all beliere they've won the game. .Nothing'U stop 'em! Look out for traps. ; Smash 'em on sight.. But don't follow up too far!" "Sure," said Charles. "Help we with the stain now, will you?" With his. flash-light burning as if Its battery provided current by the week instead of by the minute, Athelstan dragged open the-mule's pack and produced a bost of things. He propper u mirror against the pack and squatted in front of it. Then he passed a little bottle to his brother, and Charles attended to the - chinstrap mark -that would-have betrayed him a British officer in "any light brighter. than dusk. In a few. minutes bis -whole face was darkened to one hue, and Charles stepped back to look at it. "Won't need to wash yourself for a month!" he said. "The dirt won't show!" He sniffed at the bottle. "But that stain won't come off if you do wash never worry! You'll do finely." ''Not yet, I won't!" said Athelstan, ricking up a little safety razor and beginning on his mustache. In a min-

I'te he had his upper lip bare. Then his brother bent oyer him and rubbed In . stain where the scrubby mustache had been. : - After that Athelstan unlocked the leather bag that had caused Ismail so much concern and shook out from it a pile of odds and ends at which his brother, nodded with perfect understanding. The principal Item - was a piece of silk forty or fifty yards of it that he proceeded to bind into a turban on his head, his brother lending, him a guiding, understanding -finger at every other turn. When that was done, the man who had said he looked in the least like a British officer would have lied. One after another he drew on native garments, picking them from the pile beside him: So, by rapid stages he developed into a native hakim by creed a converted Hindu." like Rewa Gunga, one of the men who practise yunani, or modern medicine, without a license and with a very great deal of added superstition, trickery and guesswork. , . ' ' "I wouldn't trust you with a ha'penny!" announced his brother when he hsd done. "Really? As good as all that?" ! "The part to a T." "Well take these into the fort for me, will you? His brother caught the bundle of discarded European clothes and tucked , them under his arm. "Now. remember, old man! This is the biggest 6how there has ever been. We've got to hold the Khyber, and we can't do it by riding pell-mell into the first trap set for us! We: must smash when the fighting start but we mayn't miss! We mayn't run past the mark! Be a coward, if that's the name you care to give it. You need not. tell me you've got orders to hunt skirmishers to a standstill, because I know better. I know you've just had your wig pulled for laming two horses!" "How d'you know that?" -, . ' . "Never mind! I've been seconded to your crowd. I'm your, senior, and

I'm giving you orders This shew is not sport, but the real red thing, and I want to count on you to fight like a trained man. not like a natural-born fool. Irwant to know you're holding All JVInsjid like Fabius held Rome, by being slow and wily, just for the sake of the comfortable feeling it will give me when I'm alone among the 'Hills.1 Hit hard when you have to, but for God's sake, old man, ware traps!"' - : "All right.", said his brother.

"If they do see you,, they'll, shoot." "Yes,and miss! , Trust . a Khyber jezailchi not to hit much in the dark! It'll do 'em good either way. .
