IN SEARCH OF A GUIDE
CHAPTER XVII
T WON'T let you do it"
Lincoln's voice had an edge
to it
Attain the other laughed.
"Listenl" he announced. "I am
man washed with seventy times
seventy waters of shrewdness and
Iniquity. Also, I am- your friend.
And so," slowly, "why not tell me
the whole truth?"
"The whole . . . T"
"That you fear this girl oh,
yes she being a spy. But also,
that ah even spies, women
spies, have soft soft lips and
white, generous arms."
"I swear to you . . ."
"Why perjure yourself? I, too,
have been In love " he sighed
"more often than there are hairs
in my beard. Very well, I shall
not harm her."
"What about other men harming
her?" the American asked quickly.
"War, trouble, may be coming this
way. And the girl a Christian,
lone, defenseless . . ."
"Say no more, saheb! I shall
stay in Yebba for a while. After
all," he smiled, "the women here
are pretty and the wines excel
lent." He paused; then spoke very
gravely:
"In case of trouble, I shall take
. her into my own house and, later
on, smuggle her out of the country
to safety. She shall be to me as
my own flesh and blood my
mother, my sister may I eat dirt
if I lie!"
They shook hands, and Zaman
Khan asked:
"When are you leaving?'
"Within the hour. As soon as
I've found a guide."
"You'll find one over there,"
pointing west, "in the huts of the
Negroes. And you will need
money for the journey and a bet
ter weapon than your Bedawin
rifle."
He reached Into his broad waist
shawl and produced a well-filled
purse and a heavy army revolver.
Lincoln took both.
"Thank you," he said simply.
"There was a silence. Then the
Afghan salaamed formally.
"Some day, soheb " he said, "we
shall meet again and, perhaps,
fight side by side."
"God grant it friend!"
Zaman Khan walked away, with
a heavy swagger, and the Ameri
can, without asking himself why
he did it returned to the inn and
entered the room where Nancy
Brown sat busily scribbling in a
small notebook.
CHE looked up. "Writing down
my impressions," she told him.
"Going to make s book of it All
about Africa and the sort of peo
ple one meets there and how a
nice man warned me." She lit
cigaret "I suppose you've come
to repeat your warning?"
"No!" was his curt reply. ,
"Well don't be so sulky!"
"I," he announced, "have come
to say goodbye."
"Oh really?"
"I'm leaving tonight."
She did not speak: only looked
at him. And he wondered why
she was looking at him so queer
ly, so searchingly; and then, on
the spur of the moment perhaps
lor the first time since he bad
reached manhood, he was guilty of
sentimental words.
For in a low voice he added:
"Please wish me luck."
. "Luck? she echoed.
. "Yes. I need it"
"Something something serious
m the wind?"
"Very serious."
She held out her hand. He took
it
. "Of course I wish you luck," she
said soberly, sincerely. "All the
luck in the worldl" ,
"Thanks."
r He was going to say more; not
about his mission. Of course not
But how he felt about her.
But he did not speak; could not
He loathed what he called fum
bling fumbling mentally, spirit
ually. It was his New England in
heritance. So he bowed, left and, as the
door closed on him, it occurred to
him that doubtless for the last
time in his life, he had spoken
with a fellow-American.
WITH calm efficiency he set
" about his final preparations.
He visited the bazaar where he
bought matches, tobacco, a bag of
provisions, an extra box of re
volver ammunition and a cheap
silver watch.
FUNNY BUSINESS
r--. "r,iS(f, Yffiffiff, W''t'?f
"I put in. all niy overtime on these Iwol"
by Achmed Abdullah
Then he went to the Negro
quarter, on the outskirts of town,
in search of a guide.
From open-air kitchens the
sound of frying escaped and the
reek of sizzling palm-oil. The men
were squatting on their haunches,
smoking and spitting and bicker
ing and laughing. The women
were at their cooking, finding
time the while to upbraid their
husbands and their offspring in
high, shrill voices. Children of all
ages and all degrees of nudity
were shouting and playing in the
filthy gutters.
