7AMAN KHAN woi true to his
promise.
There was camp In a clearing
where a dozen Arab thorough
breds were whinnying and strain
Ins at their heel ropes. There was
profusion of rich food, cooked
In the hearty Afghan manner, a
bottle of Algerian brandy made
r more potent with a strong dose of
red pepper, and a telling of riot
ous, highly-spiced Central Asian
tales so highly spiced that, later
'. on, Lincoln remarked he did not
know that he was still able to
blush.
Finally the Afghan rose. With
1he American's help, he began
striking camp.
"We must be off," he said, "be
fore the Bennl Sfa can read the
riddle of the tracks."
"You ah acquired the mares
from them?"
"Yes, saheb. Two nights ago.
For night is the time when a
shrewd man trades in horseflesh.
The price is cheaper."
They went on their way; and,
after the camel's pacing, side-
wheeling gait, Lincoln was glad to
straddle a smooth-trotting horse.

THE heat was brassy, enormous.
x It was like the blast of a lime
kiln, and the sun, poised like a
greet balloon, seemed to melt all
colon Into a swimming milky-
white..
i Both men suffered. Both were
silent: Zaman Khan, the typical
extrovert, with the happy Orien
" tal faculty which allowed him to
think of nothing at all and thus
clear his mind in time of stress:
the American with a tense feeling
of what the future held in store
for him.
After' all. he was too brave a
man not to be afraid. Afraid,
chiefly, of death, that final, irrevo
cable thing. And he knew that
he'would have to pay for the life
of the hylemoot ameex with his
: So he went on through the wil
derness, day after day, until, one
afternoon, it feathered out into a
low, flower-spotted undergrowth;
then, gradually, into , a wide plain
that was stippled' with Negro
kraals and crude cattlef olds. .
-A short ride," said the Afghan,
"and well be at Yebba -
" An hour later, Yebba Jumped
Into the focus like a smudge of
purple and copper against the
scarlet of the sinking sun; and it
was nearly S o'clock when the
hones hooves clattered on the
cobble-stoned pavements. .
I A FASCINATING old place it
was. A narrow tangle of
crowded, shadowy alleys where
.burnoosed men and veiled women
- went upon their various occasions;
idoth-Toofed bazaars overflowing
iwlth fruit, vegetables, grain, sad-
. Idles, weapons, copper pots and
Whatever else measured the scale
ct the nomads' modest wants;
open-air butcher shops, the fly
Wown stock-in-trade of mutton
.and camel-meat hanging from the
limbs of dead trees? and, dominat
ing -the whole town, a mosque
with tall minaret whence, just
then, muezzin was chanting the
moghribj the sunset prayer:
"Br talaat wah tt solum aleyk,
tyoh tnuoal khuUc TUdh wah khati
mat wtvl TUah peace be to Thee
and the. glory, O first-born of the
creatures of God and eal of the
apostles of God! Bless ye His
Prophet! Prayer Is better than
sleep! Prayer is better than food
"
V "Not better than food," laughed
the Afghan, "where I - am concerned.-
So, since rhere our road
Slits, let us go to Moise Torje
an's caravanserai and tickle our
palates with a farewell dinner of
rich food and strong liquor and,
if .Allah be willing, while away
our sadness' at parting with a
couple of dancing girls."
He led the- way; dismounted
when they reached the inn.
"Wait," he said, "while I ar
range for a private room and a
meal worthy of a silken-breeched
Sultan. My credit here is excel
lent" He went aside; and it appeared,
not many minutes later, that his
.boast as to the soundness of his
credit had been optimistic, to say
the least. For there came, sud
denly; the sounds of a loud argu
ment; two voices in a . mixture of
bad. Arabic and worse French.

the voices. "Not as much as the

"I do."

The door burst open, and two
men appeared. One was Zaman
Khan, and the other was, doubt
less, Moise Torjcman, the owner
of the caravanserai, an Algerian
Jew fully as tall and fully aa
rough as the Afghan.
"Listen to me!" said the latter.
"I will listen to nothing, O
grandson of a wart, except the)
dink of gold!"
Lincoln laughed. A second later,
he heard his laughter echoed in
high, silvery notes; and he gave a
start of surprise as he saw a girl
who had coma from the inslda
and stood there, watching the
scene with enjoyment A whita
girl, and he thought the pret
tiest he had ever seen.
