SPEED AND SOUND 7
CHAPTER SOOT
pHE Nefroa and half-breeds,
the hewn of wood end draw
in of water, listened to the gos
lip tolling the tale of an Arab who
had come from their town , ...
describing him . . . mentioning
where he was ... a man who was
very 111 and kept on babbling two
' Dames; Nancy and Zaman Khan.
The blacks spread the tale by
word of mouth. 1 . v . .
Molse Torjeman heard It from
the lips of his Sudanese cook. He
spoke of It to Zaman Khan who
was pleasantly occupied, before
going to bed, with a brandy bottle
and a gurgling water-pipe.
The Afghan rose. .
A few seconds later, he knocked
at Nancy Brown's door.
"Mem-taHeb!" he called. "Mem
nheW .
These last days, while Lincoln
had crossed the wilderness, Zaman
Khan had obeyed his instructions
to the letter, keeping close track
of Nancy Brown.
She had grown irritated. .
"What's the idea?" she had de
manded. '
"What Idea, mem-scheM
"Snooping after me all the
time!"
"Hookum hoi It Is an order,"
had been his answer.
, "Whose order?" she had asked;
and the Afghan had kept silent'
Often, during those days, her
Impatient, angry question; and, as
often, Zaman Khan's mocking si
lence. Yet, deep in her heart, she
had known without being told.
Again she would ask the Af
ghan: ' . : -
"Was It your friend who told
you to piny nursemaid to me?
What did he say?"
Zaman Khan would smile mad
deningly, without replying; would
asK nimseu:
"Is she really a spy? ' If she
were, would she inquire, so freely,
so 'foolishly, about the taheb?
And, if she is not a spy, why does
she ask so often about him? Ah!
I think I know."
Now, tonight, he was knocking
at her door.
'Memsaheb! he called. "Afern
soAeW - .
.
A '.SECOND or two later, she
appeared on. the threshold,
sleepy-eyed, wrapped in a kimona.
What's the matter?" She was
nervous, a little frightened.
Zaman Khan told her in a few
words. She stood quite still; did
not even tremble.
"I must go to him," she said
steadily.. .
'JAnd i."'d y"-"w .': "
"Yea. You and I."
"We start at once."
Be turned.- She said: . - '
1 "Wait!" . :.' .
' Oh ?"
in give you money 10 tray
things for the journey and "
reddened under his stony stare.
"By the honor of my mother
nave I not money of my own,
would I not sell my very-soul
when a friend is in need? Do 1
love the saheb less than you do?
Swiftly, Nancy's keen mind
pounced on the word "aaheb." So
the man was not an Arab, was one
of her own race ... it made thing
oh more easy . . .
She interrupted her thoughts. "
"Will we get to him in time?"
she demanded.
"There is always a way if you
know how to twist the mule's tail.
I, being an Afghan, know every
trick of twisting. Two things are
needed. Speed and sound. I shall
see to both."
.
rpHERE had come to town, only
week earlier, an elderly Arab,
Asad Suleyman, a retired grain
merchant who, chased out of Trip
oli by the threat and clamor of
Yebba. Haughtily be had. come,
war, had returned to his native
riding in a rickety, rattling old
Ford it was the only automobile
within many square miles on
which, occasionally, he would
drive about the countryside,
frightening the dogs, the camels,
the children.
He and the Afghan had become
good friends immediately. So now,
although roused in the middle of
the night, he showed no anger.
His friend would like to borrow
the car, at once? .
' What for? " ',. ' -
Zaman Khan did not .wish to
say? Perhaps an amorous adven
ture? v. . .
"Help yourself. There is plenty

of oil and petrol. Only can you
drive?"
"No. But the woman can.". "
Suleyman winked broadly. He
poked Zaman Khan in the ribs.
"Wan" he exclaimed admir
ingly "I wish I were your age
and oh less married! Good luck
to youl"
Hurriedly Zaman Khan went
to the outskirts of town, to Mured
el-Touati's coffee-house, a dis
reputable dive where nightly met
the underworld of Yebba. Arabs
and blacks and half-breeds. Men
and women.
- They greeted him noisily.
"Here!" A hand thrust a bottle

"Thank you, thank you!" said
the Afghan. "But not tonight
Tonight I need the hand of a
friend."
At once a doien men rose. A
dozen weapons flickered. He
laughed.
"Not a hand to draw steel," he
added, "but a hand to beat the
signal drum. Who of you heroes
knows how to make them talk?"
There stepped forward a large
