The: were tied to a tree-trunk in the hart of a clump, and a hundred men might pass in that lonely place with- in: discovering them. whereas Hossein Beg and his subordinate could see 335“! enough thmugh the leafy screen that enveloped their open'air prison. By this time the man was reduced to a state of abjevt submission. Pos- sibly his offer of the ckka-wallah’s services was made in good faith. but Malcolm liked the looks of the man as Effie as he liked the looks of his mas- ter. and he preferred to trust Chum- ru's nimble wits rather than the stu- pid cvntriving of a peasant, no matter now wining the latter might be. The zemindar, having written. was tagged again. and the pair were left to that torture of sitwce and doubt Half a: hour Eater.

The fact that Chumru's scheme in. cluded the rescue of the unhappy girls imprisoned in the go-down caused Malcolm to «approve it without reserVe. The zemindar's gag was re- moved and he was asked his name. ”Hossein Beg." said he. "Be assured. then." said Malcolm, sternly. "that thy life depends on the fulfilment of the instructions I now require of thee. See to it, therefore, that they are written in such wise as to insure success, and l, for my part, promise to send thee succor ere night falls. Write on this tablet that the miss~sahibs are to be delivered to the charge of Rissaldar Ali Khan and his wife. for conveyance to Fattehpore, and bid thy servants help the rissaldar in every possible way.

CHAPTER XII. The Swing of the Pendulum { Malcolm‘s first measured thought :was an unpleasant one. It was his ;intent to land one of the budgerow's lerew at the earliest opportunity with .a written message, which the bearer would probably be unable to read, zaddressed to Mohammed Rasul, bid- (ding him go to the assistance of the ’unlucky Hossein Beg. That plan was now impracticable. The crew had bolted. He could neither send the ’ryot ashore nor trust to the help of gany neighboring village, since men lwere already galloping along the left 2 bank with obviously hostile designs. With the ekka came a rissaldar ot| cavalry, riding one horse and leading two others When he dismounted a scabbard cluttered at his heels, for Malcolm now had the pistols between his knees as he sat behind the ti gy_htl drawn curtains of the vehicle. ‘Mohsmmed Rasul!” shouted the rissaldsr, loudly. “Where is Moham- Mmed Rasul? I must discourse with. him instantly. ” A man came running. ' “Ohe. sirdar," he cried. “Behold, I come!" Having lashed the helm again in order to keep the budgerow on the starboard tack, Malcolm was about to lend a hand, despite his wound. when a spurt of firing from the bank took him by surprise. because he had seen nei- ther gun nor pistol in the hands of the loungers on the "hat. and the coolies were certainly unarmed. Glam-mg back he saw a man whom he had‘last seen in the moulvie‘s com- pany at 1133 Baréilly gesticulating tic-reel}: as he directed the target prac- tice of a numbgr of mcn. A group of lather-ed horses behind them showed that they had ridden far and fast, so the accident. which nearly led to-his undoing. had really helped to save him and his companions. else the tusillade to which they were now subjected must have taken place while the boat was still tied to the wharf. "Lie flat on the deck.‘ English, and repeated Hindustani. He flung by Chumru’s side. Tu add to the excitement on shore, liaicolm fired the second pistol at the men nearest the boat, which was al- ready beginning {0 slip away with the current. Then he rushed to the helm, unlashed it. and turncd the boat's head toward the channel. while Chinnru and the ryot, helped by the giris, hauled at the heavy max 831]. As there was a favorable breeze and the current was swift and strong, he wondered why these pursuers strove to keep the boat in sight. Then it was borne in on him that they had a defi- nite object. Could it be possible that they knew of the presence of other craft, lower down the river7â€"that he might be called on within the hour to make a last standagainst irresislible But fate. which had certainly favor- ed Malcolm and his native comrade thus far, played them what looked like a jade‘s trick at the very moment when success was within their grasp. The ekka pony. frightened by the lap of the swift-flowing water against the steps beneath, shied. hacked. and strove to reach the shore. Not all Chumru’s wiry strength. aided by the alarmed ryot. could prevent the brute from turning. A wheel slipped off the staging, the narrow vehicle toppled over, and the amazed spectators saw a booted and spurred British officer of cavalry sprawling on the ghat instead of the rolled Mohammedan woman who ought to have made he' appear- ance in this nndignified manner. Malcolm was on his feet in a second. “Come on, Chumru!’ he cried. as he leaped on board the budgerow. He saw one of the crew take an extra turn of a rope round a cat-head. and fired at him. Hit or miss. the fellow tumbled overboard. and his mates fol- lowed. Chumru, assisted by the ryot, who elected at this twelfth hour to throw in his lot with that of the sa- hib. began to cast off the cables. liven the two dazed girls helped, once they knew that an Englishman was fighting in their behalf. “I will attend to that." replied Chumru.. grumy. and Hossein Beg’s factotum had perforce to be content with the undertaking. be, he lost no tlme. The budgerow was warped close to the shat, her con- tents, mostly European furnlture. 1. Malcolm could see through a fold in the curtain, were promptly unloaded, and preparations made for the return journey. First the horses were led on board and secured. Then two pallid girls. only half clothed. their eyes red with weeping and their cheeks hag- gard with misery, were led from the goâ€"down. “Ali Khan" was about to guide the okka along the rough gangway when Mohammed Rasul interfered. "My master says naught concerning the ekka and pony," said he. “He hath detained Copi. and this driver is un- known to me. Who win bring them back when they have served your needs. sirdar?" Perhaps Mohammed Rssul wondered why his employer wrote in such im- ploring strain that he was to obey the worshipiul "Ali Khan’s” slightest word, and bestow him and his belong- ings, together with the two prisoners. on board a boat for Fattehpore with the utmost speed. However that may “Read, and quickly,’ was the imperi- ous order. “I have affairs at Fatteh- pore and cannot wait here long. I; there a bent to be hired?” "Good.
