THE LINE OF DTJTT
'" CHAPTER Vni
JTE was appalled. He felt his
hair raise, as If drawn by a
shivery wind. There was pity ta
his heart; Brief; remorse.
. But, a second later, another no
tion projected Itself across the
morose confusion in his brain: the
idea, so simple and trite, of duty.
Duty, too, was part of life. It
was and he wondered if, perhaps,
it was his father's New England
inheritance calling the tune the
finest part of it, being the most
unselfish. And bis duty was clear.
He must act, sharply and at once,
against the conspirators, and,
chiefly against the hykmoot ameer,
the Man of Mystery, sitting there
In bis lair south of Lake Tchad
like a gigantic spider weaving a
poisonous web, waiting for the
dervishes who were hurrying to
him to receive their orders and
obey him blindly.
He must go back to his house,
rouse Captain Pelletier, send for
the prominent men of his staff,
talk over the situation, cable to
xonaon, arrest wnaievw im-tu
members of the Lodge he could
find, despatch a large detachment
of airborne troops toward Lake
Tchad ...
"No!" he said to himself, sud
denly. He would do nothing of
aha. Vhtrf.
ueckect would be out or tne
question. The signal drums
would drone the news in all di
rections within the hour. The
hykmoct ameez and the emissar
ies hurrying to him would flit
away into the wilderness, like
shadows, and simply bide their
time.
There was one other way. Just
one.
' He remembered that, in the
lands of Islam, it is never a peo
ple in ferment and travail, but al
ways One Man who pulls the
strings, for good or for evil. One
Man who is the heart, the brain,
the nerve center. One Man:
dreamer or doer idealist or crim
inal saint or devil.
. And, as often as not, the former
more dangerous, because of bis
"' very sincerity, than the latter.
It was so in this instance. There
was the One Man: the hykmoot
imteez.
' Saint or devil, he would have to
1m found, dealt with. He was the
heart, the brain, the nerve center.
Would have to be destroyed.
"You're damned right," Lincoln
. Elliot said to himself. "It's up
to you!''
.
i A HARD undertaking. But not
impossible. He knew where
the man lived. Nor, coming as a
messenger of the Bi Hassanyieh,
would he be suspected.
Fosiha, the only human being
aware of his identity, was no more.
He would start tonight, at once,
Into the interior.
He turned to go; looked down at
the dead woman.
She lay there, like a tiny, brittle,
broken toy. A smile curled her
Hips. It was a calm and queerly
fcappy smile.
Bury her?
How and where, without at
trading attention?
Then he remembered that from
tonight on, by order of All el
Andalosi, no dervish would enter
here. Nor, given the superstitious
awe in which the brotherhood waa
held, would a passing - native
stranger.
Very well. Let the Lodge itself
be her tomb. It was fitting.
' Perhaps, a month or two from
Bow, some snooping policeman
would wonder about the ram
shackle, deserted building. Would
search it, discover a little heap of
bones, mark it down as another
unsolved African mystery.
He covered Fosiha's face with a
fold of her robe.
"May the earth be light to you!"
He spoke the Moslem prayer for
the departed. "May the Prophet
Mohammed the Adored on whom
the Peaces open wide to you the
FUNNY BUSINESS

gates of Paradise!"
And he left the house.
TIE did not dare risk a return to
his own bedroom at the palace
for money or weapon. But he had
no need of either. For he was
traveling as a dervish; and,
throughout Islam, the dervish, the
man of God, is the free, chartered
vagabond whom no Moslem would
injure and to whom all lend a
helping hand.
One thing, though, he had to do:
send some sort of message to his
second-in-c ommand and good
friend, Captain Pelletier. So, at a
coffee shop that was still openLhe

asked for paper and pufVcn
wrote a short note:
' "Going away on official business.

weeks, report me to the authorities
as dead in the line of duty."
Right he thought ta the line
of duty.
He went to his house. He knew
where Pelletier 's bedroom was lo
cated. He wrapped the note about
a small stone and. with straight,
true aim, tossed it through the
open window.
A second later, he heard a crash
as of a smashed watrrglass, a
startled exclamation and was off.
