Prin shrugged. He did not understand but ha did not care. "Well, 1 think I'd better run back Into the house,'' he said. “I'm afraid they're almost down to tho last tooth 1 wish you the pleasantest of Journeys And give my regards to the police when you meet them. Come, Ballister." Prin and Ballister hurried up tho hill to the bungalow. Professor Sen lingered on the float for a few moments. When he Joined the others he fonnd them busily loading machine gnn clips. “Well, they’ve gone " Sen said as Is entered the room. *B9Wt feel so bad about it. TheyTs Set going far—only ts ths bend in the river.” “That's what you think, Prin,” Sen sneered. “Do you think I fell for your trick when you told them they could go?

“Herbert!" Chang Tai called. There was a splash in the darkness, then Herbert answered. “Cornin’, sir.”

Hi much gasoline would bo In the b it when they left. There will be In it enough to get them to the bend ki the river. The natives will not ton li the boat. When this rumpus ts over, we'll just go down and get the lb' ney." ■ ‘1 got to hand it to you, Prin,” Ballister admitted. “When it comes to a knife in tho back you’re a man Slier my own heart.” j "Thank you. Now let’s speed our (departing guests.” Prtn led the way to the float. Chang was busily loading the boat with Sen's assistance. Kim Ling was prying up a loose plank in the float. From the space beneath it she withdraw a package Wrapped In waterproof silk. She Handed t to Chang. "Here’s the money." she said. ■ “Where’s Herbert?" Chang asked. ■ “Is Herbert leaving too?"

look at the gas tank. W'hen they shoved oft they had a full tank, Prin, a full tank." Prin’s anger swelled to gigantic proportions. He was almost Inarticulate with rage. “You gave them gas!” he screamed. "You sent them and the three hundred thousand dollars to Singapore!" He whipped out his revolver and fired three times at Sen. The Professor crumpled. Sen smiled weakly. “Thank you. Prin. This ... will ... he ... far better .. . than . . . the jungle." There was a double burst of machine gun Ore from the launch on the river. “They've round . . . the bend . . . Prin,” Sen continued. “Thkt.. . was . . . the signal.” Ho dragged himself to his feet and staggered toward the door. "I prefer . . . to die . . . out there," he whispered and disappeared In the darkness. Ballister slammed the door. The drums wsre getting louder. "They’re closing in. Ballister. Get out those guns,” Prin ordered. Ballister opened the chest and then gaped In silent astonishment. “Quick, Ballister." Prin urged. Suddenly he noticed the expression en the other's face. "Come here. Cream Puff," Ballister laughed raucously. “Come here and have a laugh with me.” He pointed Into the gun chest. Prin crossed quickly and stared. The guns were gone! la the bottom of the

chest was the body of Duke, tho dead monkey. "Herbert said Duke had a message for you. Remember?” Ballister said “You heard that loud splash before Herbert showed up on the float Where wore your brains then. Prin?" “He threw the guns in the river . . . in the river." Prin whispered to himself. An Idea came to him. “We can still stand them off. We've got rifles." He rushed to the gun case It, too, was empty. Herbert had done his work thoroughly. Bnlllster stepped forward and sud denly yanked Prin’s revolver from his belt “What are you doing?” Prin snarled. "Taking the only gun left In this house." Ballister said calmly. "One of us still has a chance to get down the river.” "How?” Prin was panic-stricken. “When they come, they’ll come through that door, out of the jungle They'll stay away from the river bank until they ect the house on fire. Well, one of us can stay and the other can go—and the one who stays gets this gun." "And whaterer money I have left." Prin said craftily. “Right!" Ballister agreed. ’•We’ll play one hand of poker for the gun and what goes with it." Calmly Ballister shuflled and dealt the cards. He flipped his hand over “The man with the high hand leaves — with everything,” he re pealed. "Beat two pair, aces up!" he added gleefully. Prin looked at his cards. His eyes stared unbelievingly. “For the first time in my life—for the first time.” he whispered. “A royal flush!" There was a tremendous crash as a huge stone bounded Into the room. Both men leaped aside. "It’s too late now. Prin. It’s too late,” Ballister said as lie raised ttie gun. "Give me that gun. Ballister! 1 won it!” Prin screamed. Ballister backed aw'ay. "I’m calling the deal off. You keep what you’ve got and I’ll keep the gun.” The roar of native shouts and drums mounted to a crescendo. Ballister continued to point tho gun at himself. "Don’t, Ballister! Don’t do that. Don’t leave me!” Prin screamed. The gnn barked twice and Ballister dropped. “Ballister!" Prin leaped forward and grabbed the gun. He threw open tho chamber and emptied the shells into his hand. Everyone of them were empty. Suddenly Prin’s mind snapped completely. He drew himself up to his full height. "Now look here.” he shouted Into tho night. You can’t do this to me My word is law! I’m king on this river. . . . King!” His voice rose to a scream. Ho picked up a gaudy uniform coat and buttoned It around himself. “King! I’m King!" he screamed. "Pm going out there and talk to them — my subjects. They're like children but 1 know how to handle them I’ll say, ‘I’m your king. Go back to your jungle. Let peace return to the river." " He strode to the door. "Peace! Peace my subjects!" Now he was ai most whispering. “Peace! Peace!" Gregory Prin stepped through the doorway to be met with a shower of spears. Ths End.
