CHAPTER X They came and changed the guard :wo hours after dawn, to the accompaniment of a lot of hawking and spitting, orders growled through the mist and the crash of rifle-butts grounding on the rock path. King went to the cave entrance, to look the new man over; but because he was in Khinjan, and Khinjan in the Hills, where indirectness is the key to information, he stood for a while at gaze, listening to the thunder of tumbling water and looking at the cliff-edge six feet away that was laid like a knife in the descending mist. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the new man was a Mahsudi no sweeter to look at and no less treacherous for the fact. Also, that he had boils all .over the back of his heck. He was not likely to be better tempered because of that fact, either.
But it is an ill wind , that blows no good to the Secret Service: !"" .'-TV "There is an end to everything," he remarked presently, addressing 'the world at large, or as much as he could see of It through the cave mouth. "A hill Is so high, a pool so deep, a river ko wide. How long, for instance, must tuv watch be?" "What is that to thee?" the fellow growled. " , "There is an end . to pain!" said King, adjusting his horn-rimmed spectacles. "I lanced a man's boils last night, and it hurt him, but he must be well today." "Get In!" growled the guard. "She 6ays it is sorcery! She says none are to let thee touch them!".
Plainly, he was in no receptive
mood; orders had been spat into his hairy ear too recently. "Get in!" he growled, lifting his rifle-butt as if to enforce the order. - "I can heal boils!" said King, retiring Into the cave. Then, from a safe distance down the passage, he added a word or two to sink in as the hours went by. "It is good to be able to bend the neck without pain and to rest easily at night! It Is good not to flinch at another's touch. Boils are bad! Healine is easy and good!"
Then, since a quarrel was tho very Inst thing ho was looking for. he retired into his own gloomy quarters at the rear, taking care to Bit so that he could see and overhear what passed at the entrance. Among other things In the course of the day he noticed that the watch was changed every four hours and that there were only three men In the guard, for the same man was back again that evening. At Intervals throughout the day Yasmlni sent him food by silent messengers; so he ate, for "the thing to do," says Cocker. "Is the first that comes to hand, and the thing not to do is worry." It ia not easy to worry and eat heartily at one and the same time. Having eaten, he rolled up his sleeves and native-made cotton trousers and proceeded to clean the cave. After that he overhauled his stock of drugs and Instruments, repacking them and making ready against opportunity. "As I told that heathen with a gun out there, there's an end to everything he reflected. "May this come soon!" When they changed guard that afternoon he had grown weary of his own company and of fruitless speculation and was pacing up and down. The second guard proved even less communicative than the first, np to the point when, to lessen his ennui. King began to Whistle. Because a Secret Service man most be consistent, the tone was not English, but a weird minor one to which the Hills have set their favorite love song (that is, all about hate in tho concrete!). The echo of the waterfall within the
cave was like the roaring in a shell held to the-ear, but each time he came near tho entrance the new guard could catch a few bars of the tune. After a little while the hook-nosed
ruffian began to sing the words to it,
in a voice like a forgotten dogs. So he stopped at the entrance and
changed the tune. And the guard sang the words of the new tune, too. After that he came out into the light of day (direct sunlight was cut off by the huge height of the cliffs all around) and leaned in the entrance, smiling. "Allah preserve thee, brother!" he remarked. "Thine is a voice like a warrior's bold and big! Thou art a true son of the Prophet!"
"Aye!" said the fellow, "that I am!
Allah preserve thee, for . thou hast
more need of it than I, although I guard thee just at present. Whistle me another one!" So King whistled the refrain of a song that boasts of an Afghan inva
sion of India, and of the loot that
came of it, and the prisoners, and the women particularly the women, mem-
tionins more than a few of them by
name, and their charms in detail. It was a song to warm the very cockles
of a Hillman s heart. Nothing couia
have been better chosen for that set
ting, of a cave mouth half-way down
the side of a gash in earth's wildest mountains, with the blue sky resting on a jagged rim a mile above. "Good ! " said the bearded , jailer. "Now begin and I will sing!" To be continued

Not for Many Years, if Ever, Will You Have an Opportunity Like This Automobiles will advance in price rather than decrease in price. It is doubtful if you will ever buy so much $1465 as you can get now in a Jeffery Six. Every manufacturer recognizes the fact of increased cost of material ; many also of increased cost of production. Because of buying in huge quantities the. Nash Motors Co., makers of Jeffery Sixes have been last to be affected by this increase in cost. But it must come, and while the price of the Jeffery Six is $1465 it is the best Motor Car Bargain in America. If you are going to buy a motor car within $300 of $1465 be sure to investigate the Jeffery Six. You local dealer will cheerfully demonstrate.
