French tanks, well camouflaged, ready to leave for action on the front lines of the Alsne sector. There lumbering fortsesses are slow, but sure. In attack they usually preced the infantry, cleaning out the trencnes and machine-gun nests and leaving the thousands of bewildered German prisoners to be gathered in b tne laughing and singing infantry following. Only the heavier field pieces of the enemy are effective against ianks. Machine gun, rifle and shrapnel bullets rattle off their armored sides like hail.

The temptation was to fling the brute after his victim. The temptation always is to do the wrong thing to cap wrath with wrath, injustice with vengeance. That way wars begin and are never ended. King beckoned him into the cave, and bent over the chest of medical supplies. Then, finding the light better for his purpose at the entrance, he called the man back and made him sit down on the box.

So he had slept the clock round! King did not answer. He blocked the way into the cave and looked past the mullah at a sight that fscinted, as a serpent's eyes are said to fascinate a

especially edifying in itself; but that

particular minor operation probaDiy saved India. But for hope of it the man with boils would never have stood two turns on guard hand running and let the relief sleep on; so he would not have been on duty when the message came to carry King's belongings to his new cave of residence. There would have been no object in killing the dumb man, and so there would have been an expert with a loaded rifle to keep Muhammad Anim lurking down the trail. Muhammad Anim came like the devil, to scotch King's faith. He had followed the women with the loads. He stood now, like a big bear on a mountain track, swaying his head from side to side six feet away from King, watching tho bolls succumb to treat

ment. He grunted when the job was finished, and King jumped, nearly driving the lance into a new place in his patient's neck. "Let him go!" growled Muhammad Anim. "Go, thou! Stand guard over the women until I come!" The mullah turned a rifle this way and that in his paws, like a great bear dancing. The Mahsudi with a sore neck could have shot him. perhaps, but there are men with whom only the bravest dare try conclusions. In cold gray dawn it would have needed a martinet to make a firing squad do execution on Muhammad Anim, even with his hands tied and his back against a wall. A man whose boils had just been lanced was no match for him at all, even in broad daylight. The Hillman slunk away and did as he was told. "What meant thy message?" growled the mullah. "There came a Pathan to me In the Cavern of Earth's Drink with word that yonder sits a hakim. What of it?" King had almost forgotten the message he had sent to Muhammad Anim in the Cavern of Earth's Drink. But that was not why his eyes looked past the mullah's now, nor why he did not answer. The mullah did not look round, for he knew what was happening. The very Orakzai Pathan who had sat next King in the Cavern of Earth's Drink, and who had carried the message for him, was creeping up behind the women and already had his rifle v leveled at the man with boils. "Aye!" said the mullah, watching King's eyes. "He has done well, and the road is clear!" The man with boils offered no fight. He dropped his rifle and threw his hands up. In a moment the Orakzai Pathan was in command of two rifles, holding them in one hand and nodding and making signs to King from among the women, whom he seemed to regard as his plunder too. The women appeared supremely indifferent in any event. King nodded back to him. A friend is a friend in the "Hills," and rare Is the man who spares his enemy. "Why send that message to me?" asked Muhammad Anim. "Why not?" asked King. "If none ' know where the haLim is, how shall the hakim earn a living?" "None comes to earn a living in the Hills," growled the mullah, swaying his head slowly and devouring King with cruel calculating eyes. "Why art thou here?" - "I slew a man," said King. "Thou liest! It was my men who got the head that let thee in! Speak! Why are thou here?" But King did not answer. The mullah resumed. "He who brought me the message yesterday aays he has it from another, who had it from a third, that thou art here because she pins a simultaneous rising in India, and thou are from the Punjab where the Sikhs all wait to rise. Is that true?" "Thy man said it," answered King. "What sayest thou?" the mullah asked. "I say nothing," said King. "Then hear me!" said the mullah. "Listen, thou." But he did not begin to sjteak yet. He tried to see past King

The Orakzai Pathan crouched among the women, and the women grinned. The Mahsudi, having surrendered and considering himself therefore absolved from further responsibility at least ofr the present, spat over the precipice and fingered gingerly the sore place where his boils had been. He yawned and dropped both hands to his side; and it was at that instant that the Pathan sprang at him. To be continued

To Close World's Deepest Oil Well WASHINGTON, Penna. Aug. 31. It has been decided to abandon what Is said to be the deepest oil well la the world. The well, located at Candor, near here, has been drilled to a depth of 7,245 feet. Only 34 feet have been drilled in the past year due to the falling of the casing and a number of tools, the latter when an effort was made recently to clear the well of the casing. It is estimated that $500,000 has been spent in drilling the well.
