IAMAN KHAN '
7" ' CHAPTER XIII '.7
A MOMENT later, a man stepped
out from behind a tree. He
was tall and of , extraordinary
width of shoulders, ruddy-skinned,
full-bearded, with a great, preda
tory hook of a nose and twinkling,
humorous,' steel-gray eyes. A
blua-and-red-checkered turban,
ornamented with a regimental in
signia, was cocked at a devil-may-care
angle on his bullet
shaped head, and he wore a tat
tered, stained British khaki uni
form. He reached out a strong hand
and pulled Lincoln to safety.
Again he laughed.
"I know a saheb," he exclaimed,
"not always when I see one for,
indeed, you look like a Bedawin
but when I hear one. Splendid
words you used!"
He interrupted himself. ,
"Words," he went on, frowning,
"not altogether English, though."
"I'm American," explained Lin
coln. "A glorious race, I understand,
if not quite as glorious as the
Afghans."
"Guess you're one of them?"
smiled the other.
"I am that same. Zaman Khan
is my name, and I am a sergeant
of the Sixteenth Pathan Rissala
in the service of the British Raj."
"And what," demanded Lincoln,
"are you doing in this neck o' the
African woods?"
"There was much grand fight
ing" the Afghan gesticulated
vaguely towards the north "and
I and many of my comrades were
wounded and captured by the
little black-haired men who smell
of garlic and the big yellow-haired
men who smell of pig. And I did
not like it in prison, in the land
called the Sudan. No I did not
like it at all! So," calmly, "one
night, having, with Allah's aid,
stolen a knife, I cut some throats
and helped myself to a rifle and
ammunition, and I went quickly
away from there."
T SHALL rejoin the Sixteenth
Pathan Rissala," he continued.
"I heard in prison camp that they
are sow battling in Libya."
'"Aren't you going the wrong
way?"
j "Why?"
; "Libya Is north, not south."
- "But north are the garlic-eaters
and the pig-eaters. I must keep
away from their smell and then
revenge. So I am traveling by
roundabout roads."
"You know them?"
"A friendly black man told me.
And I could have got to Libya
before this. But," with a little
apologetic cough, "I have been
busy trading in horses." - .'
"Whose horses?"
"Anybody's horses."
"When the owner wasn't look
ing?" demanded the American,
slowly winking an eye.
"By Allah!" roared the Afghan.
"But you are a man after my own
heart, of quick wit and most nim
ble tongue! Ah soul of my soul!"
He drew Lincoln to his massive
breast and, in spite of struggles
and protests, implanted a smack
ing kiss upon his lips. "I like
youl I like you fine!" Another
kiss. "And what are you doing
here, O heart's delight?"
The "heart's delight" did not
know what to say. He hesitated;
and the other must have read
his thoughts.
"TTfHAT does it matter?" inter
rupted Zaman Khan. "Be
like you killed a man for the
sport of it; belike a woman for
the sake of the red passion. What
difference? Allah will forgive you,
and so," grandiosely, "shall I. I
like you, I repeat I, Zaman
Khan. And your name?"
Once more Lincoln hesitated;
.and once more the other said:.
"What does it matter? Come
with me!" - - . .
: . "Where are you going?"
"To the little town of Yebba.
I have been there before" he
grinned "with horses. A profita
ble market there for horses, and
no questions asked. And the wines
there are honeyed. And the
women . . . ahee!" He blew a
kiss into the air.
"Sounds attractive," admitted
the American, with a laugh.
"You do not dare, because of
the sohebs' foolish laws in the
matter of your small killing?"
"That's it."
"Have no fear. Yebba is an
Arab settlement in the heart of
the country. No tahebs are ever

Lincoln looked up.

The Afghan roared with mirth.
"Now I Jenou," he cried, "that

"You know the way?"
"No. But somebody win, In

Yes the American echoed in
his mind somebody would, in
Yebba. He would be able to hire
a guide there; was playing he

"I'll go with you," he said.
