rica -v & nam THE END OF THK ROAD '. CHAPTER XXV WVOCR name?" demanded the a. dervish. Terek el-Medjahirl, of the Lodge of the Bi Hassanyleh." "Salaam, latoonvf We have been anxiously awaiting you. I am Sayyld el-Wahhab, of the Lodge of the Sennussyleh." t Lincoln knew at once who the man was: one of the most notori ous anti-European leaders among the Moslems, rully as dangerous to the cause of the United Na tions in Africa as Mnhatma Gandhi was in India. By this time, some of the other dervishes had crowded about the American. One of them, a lean, dark-skinned Egyptian, laughed. "You were ah a little previ ous, were you not, Terek?" he de manded. "Oh ...? "Aren't you the one who killed tidi EUiot, the governor at Mou netville, before our master gave the order to strike?" - Others Joined in the laughter. They shook Lincoln's hands; and he reflected, sardonically, that he seemed to be popular for having caused his own death. After a while, trying to keep his voice steady, he said: . "I should pay my respects to the hvkmoot ameez. Where can I find him?" The Egyptian pointed to a tent little larger than the rest "You'll find him in there. But It is almost time for evening de votion. Wait until afterwards. For our master is a most rigid - Moslem, a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed the Adored." . - TTALF an hour later, after muezzin had chanted the sun set prayers, with day dying and the first ghostly moonrays fan ning their way through the clouds, Lincoln went to the tent of the man whom he was going to kill. He was not conscious of the slightest quiver of excitement. ' On the threshold, he announced . who he was: "I am Terek el-Medjahhi of the J1 Hassanyieh." , "Come in, O pilgrim!" " He raised the tent-flap, entered, and was alone with the hykmooc ameez. Again, as when he had first seen the clearing, he felt dis appointed. For, again, there was .nothing startling or dramatic. ; There was merely, sitting cross legged, dim in the half-light of a far corner, a slight, medium-sized man, dressed in a long, brown - robe, his face blurred and indis tinct by the trooping shadows: and a voice greeting him with a pleasant: . "Salaam aleykoom, yah sheikh.1" "So matter-of-fact!" thought the American. "So commonplace!" .. But, a second later, he consid ered that it was the man's very prosmess which made him doubly dangerous.' His simplicity, his re fusal to stoop to theatrical. Mussolini-like flummery to impress his followers, proved that he was Utterly sure of himself. Lincoln shrugged his shoulders. He told himself once more: "Let's get it over with." His first shot would have to kill. Couldn't afford to miss, or people would hurry in. So, groping under his burnoose and sliding the revolver snug to the palm of his hand, he took a step forward. A moonray danced in and brought his face Into sharp relief and he heard a slow voice speaking in French: "Why if It isn't Lincoln! How are you, Lincoln." The hykmoot ameez rose. His features, too, became clear; and Lincoln recognized Raoul. (SILENCE dropped like a pall. They stared at one another. But they could not stand there for ever, silent and staring. Some thing had to be done or said. : This something was said by Lin coln. "You haven't changed a bit, Raoul." He spoke with that sud den excess of brutality which comes to New Englanders at mo ments of great emotional stress-. "You're still the crook, the cheat, as when you stole regimental funds." The other smiled mockingly. "There's a difference," he re plied. "Oh . . , "Two differences. I stole well thoughtlessly, to pay for my fun. But this I am doing with full FUNNY .'It's thai former gossip columnist carrying a socrel -. .sagel" by Achmed Abdullah knowledge of what I am doing, and for the sake of revenge against," harshly, "the society, the Europe, the Christianity, which raiulmYin, nnrl iiav fnrffiuM in its stinking self-righteousness." He paused. "And we other differ ence ..." "Yes ...?' "This time Pm getting awav with it Nobody knows that I..." "What about me?" "You don't matter." "Don't I?" "You're helpless." Lincoln's grip tightened about the revolver. "Why," he inquired, "do you imagine I came here, as a der- PUT YOUR SCRAPS ON A FIRM FOOTING by Alice Brooks Yes, those firm, durable soles come right out of your scrap bag . . . . entirely of rags.
