TO THE HUT By Prrcival Christopher Wren CHAPTER IV Suddenly a rille banged aud a swift silence fell upon the noisy assembly. Turning sharply. V'ere- Va,u{fi]n saw Va,u{fi]n saw iha.1 a na;m siandiiiK beliind the Malik had fired thd shot, doubtless by his order, and probably a variation of the idea of ringing a bell for silence. The Malik was on his feet. "Hearken, oh men of Kurnal. The Fir Sahib has suid his say. and to the words of so holy .. Mulhih all Dius:r give ear. "The Mullah Mas said that tlin prisoner must die; his throat mut b cut as that of a sheep or^oiu. making him an arreptable sacri- fice i tbe Mullah's shrine ami in th ijrt)t of Allah.

"And both," he atided, leeriux Toiuxl. "Suppose I, in council with the other leaders who forever watch over your interests and con- Rider what is best for you sup- pose we use our brains while you BH your strong right arms and the keen silit t.hat Allah gave you for the true aiming of your rifles. And suppose we think of a plan whre*y we lose not this great urn of money and yet retain Ijhe. fever and the blasting of our holy Plr." "Upon every problem the wise roan sleepeth. Tonight the prison- er will be closely guarded and to- unorroiv we will decide his fate. I have spoken. Tbe durbar Is clos- ed." "Come on quickly," said Wall Dad, seizing Veve-Vaughaai's arm and pulling him to hl feet. "Fol- low me . . . Clone round him, my brothers." *2.? SENDS 1,OOO "BRITISH CONS OM", "1IGION".

Unlikely as It seemed, lie must have slept, for In the small hours of the morning he was wakened by the sound of rifle fire, and he wondered what was happening. A few minutes later the door of big cell opened and two men en- tered, one of whom carried a small crude oil lamp which gttve forth more smoke and smell than light. By tihe flickering yelUxw flajne of this miserable vessel he saw that one of his visitors was Wali Dad. son-in-law of the Malik and prominent member of tJie anti- Mullah party. The other was a man he had not seen before, or at any rate had not noticed a rather good type Palhan, with HotnetliiiiK clean-out and smart about him. * Producing a biddi from his cum- merbund, Wall Dad lit it, pufl'eil forth a cloud of stinking smoke, eyed Vere-Vaughau lazily tihrougli half-closed eyes and remarked In Ptifihtu: "This man talks HindiiHtu.nl. You'll be able to understand ev- erything now. He learned to speak it in India." "I suppose he did." replied Vere- Vinixhan in Hindustani, a lajiK- uago which he multi-stood ;unl Hpoke far better than the more difficult. Pushtu. "T^eimit it. no doubt, when his battalion was sta- tioned in Karachi. Mom hay and POOIKI, eh?" The man grinued disarmingly. "What is your name and regi- ment?" asked Vere-Vauphan. "Khoda Khan Abazai." was the reply. "I was sergeant in the Pa- tlian Company of Sajideiiuin s Rtlles." "Oh? How IK it joii are here, then, at yoiw age?" "I deserted, S:i!iil>," smiled the man. "Oh! One of that sort are you?" "No, no. Sahib: It wasn't my fault. I didn't want to <ro. I loved tlie regiment. But Klrawas Khan of Khairastan shot my brother, and there was no one to carry on the feud," replied the man, as if that naturally accounted for every- thing as Indeed it ilid from the Pa than point of view. Vere-VauBhan had been long en- ouj;li on the Border to know that it was as Im porn tivc and sacred a trust for the PatJian to avenge the death of a relative who died doing his duty in the matter of carrying on the family vendetta, as it was the imperative and sac- red duty of an linglishman to feed, clothe and educate his own chil- dren. And there sat IChoda Khan Ab- azai, defaulter, deserter, rifle thief nnd man of strictest honor, -who had done his boimden duly as he saw it at the risk of his life and the loss of career, comrades, pro- motion, success and pension. Presumably his present task was to talk clear and simple Hindu- tani to the sahib, make all things plain unto him, and see to It that there WHS no misunderstanding between him and his captors oil the subject, of his position, pros- peels and chances of ransom. And as Ve.re-Vaufllmi stidied tile man he WUK amazed to see that his right eye slowly closed ami opened again In a most In- dubitable wink, and even as h looked searching]} 1 at the fellow's face the latter yawned, put his hand up to Ms mouth, murmured Home a;n quotation or incantation suitable to the occasion of yawn- Ing, and as he did so placed his right forefinger against the. side of his nnse and winked again a gesture unmistakable in any un- spoken ansuiire and in any part of the world. The Rleam of hope broadened ami shone more brigi'.itly. This Pa- 1h- .

"Now, 1 said Wali Dad, having got his stinking biddi satisfactor- ily burning-, "I'm going to tell you what I have conic about. It's like this. We have got the tup-tup rifle out of Ihft broken flying devil car- riage and we want to know how to use it. Do yon understand what I have said?" "No." replied Vi-ra-Vaitghan. "Ob, don't you? Weil then, that's where this man, Klmda Khan Ah- azai, will .-ome in useful. He'll lalk to you in Hindustani. He'll make ;. ou understand all right."
