which emerged into view on the road beneath was not formidable, consisting in fact of but four human beings.
Chand Lall, general trader - who mounted, and his two assistants, who were afoot-were uneasy, and the former was secretly curcing his own avarice which had prevented him fe ma purchasing an extra pack aimal or two, which would have enabled him and his possessions to have kept beneath the wing of the Political Agent's escort, whereas now he was very considerably behind the tail of the same. But the fourth of the group, the other mounted mar, was quite cool, indeed it looked as though he actually preferred the solitude of their wild surroundings-sud perhaps he did.
Be at peace, brother," this one was saying. "Are we not enfe for we are in the bead of A lah? Wherefore then this hurry? Nothing can be bat what is written. But there, I for- get, my memory groweth old with its owner. Thou art now of the umber of true believers." And he deliberatoly and leisurely damonnted,
"See yon," he said, "I am not a man who can be smuggled away and no inquiries made. I am not a man who can be ill-treated with impunity. I ani a man of conseqence, and of importance to the Sirkar. I am a friend of the Nawab
He stopped short. There was that in the look of the leader-to whom he had addressed these words-which seemed to froze the half delirions deeperation within him.
"A friend of the Nawab! Ha-ha! Hearken, O man of consequence and of importance to the Sirkar," bending down a savage face, to cote and revel in the terror he was about to strike into his victim."It is possible that then bash nover yet heard the name of Murad Aizal?
