"Twice he tried to bring worse than death upon the master by attacks upon your mother. And the second time, sahib" Gunga's hands around the oars tightened until the knuckles were as white knobs protruding from the swarthy skin "it was only by a mlrncle that she was saved. But, sahib, it killed her, even if It were months afterward when your father had bid den her in the gray house the sahib knows, for she was with child then, and when you were born she died. "And then, sahib, the master stayed on there to protect you, as he had promised your mother he would do. Continued. 9 "It Is as the Kanaka said," Gunga nodded. "Sahib, a question : How did you know of those Chinamen and Drink-Hous- e Sam?" "One of them told me as he was dying," Wallen replied, "because, I suppose, I had nursed him as best I could through the night." "Yes," Gunga nodded his head again. "But I will end first the Kanaka's tale so that the suhlb will understand all else the better. The Kanaka had been a long time a member of the crew, long before the ship came to Honolulu. "It was In Honolulu that for much money he was hired by one of Rain Gulab Singh's agents to kill the master. "If he failed in that he was to But even there it was not further than stir up the crew to dream of the t, the arm of Ram Gulab Singh could sahib, which, with so strange reach.

But for to stay on In the gray house. When that pper, sahib, it so fell out, he had next the master learned of you you no need until you, by Allah's will, came were at sea, sahib; and after that he also to the ship, as I have related.

But because he could prove nothing, nothing was done, sahib ; only that it came to the ears of Ram Gulab Singh, and he mocked your father, my master, by messengers In private. "Sahib, my master was a brave man, and of great cunning. lie loaded a schooner with such richness of goods that it was common talk ; but also, in secret, he placed abundance of arms upon the vessel ; and at night, as she sailed, he himself came aboard in the darkness with many men-tjoin the crew, and of these I was one, sahib. - trees-ure-hun- "It came about as the master had foreseen. "He sailed to the islands where Ram Gulab Singh was; and Ram Gulab Singh, knowing that it was your father's schooner, and thinking it a prize of great value, fell into the suare. Sahib, he came upon us with four proas, and our men lay hidden below the decks, that they might not be seen until the pirates, led by Ram Gulab Singh himself, boarded us from the proas. "It was a fight, sahib, that I would to Allah I might see again before I die, for my arm Is still strong and my blood is the blood of youth, and the years count not' They fought as reptiles fight who must either fight or die. But half escaped, and those by swimming to the proas which, in their first onslaught, after all had come on board of us, we had cut adrift from the schooner's sides. "Many times in the melee my master tried to single out Ram Gulab Singh, that they might meet face to face, but it was only at the last the master came upon the other as Ram Gulab Singh was climbing over the rail to escape, and his hand was on the rail, but before he had dropped into the wafer the master's cutlass had severed three fingers from the hand of Ram Gulab Singh such, sahib, is the reading of the paper with the d hand. "Sahib, this time the government took heed, for we had prisoners who confessed; but against these Ram Gulab Singh sent many to take the oath that he had been elsewhere at the time. And so again there was not the full measure of proof, but my master pressed the matter and asked that an armed force be sent against Ram Gulab Singh. Sahib, If that had been done, all would have been well. "Instead, ' government deemed it wise to brinfc only great dishonor upon Ram Gulab iingh, and they stripped Ram Gulab Singh of ail rank and authority, and for several years patrolled the waters of the island closely." Gunga paused. The museles of his face were twitching again and the hard, fllntlJkff gleam was back once more In the eyes that always swept the water, that never Coal-blac- k cloud obscured the moon, and the riding lights of the vessel gleamed and twinkled brighter in the greater darkness, and until the moonlight struggled forth again in a silver, waving path until there came a little splash In the distance, as though a fish had jumped. Then Wallen raised his head. At the sound Gunga too had stirred, for now he dipped his oars and rowed on tovard the Monleigh. And then he spoke again: "Wash your hands, sahib," he said in low tones, "for they are red." At the gangway Gunga sent the boat adrift with a push toward the stern; and Wallen, with the other behind him, mounted to the boat deck. There was no one on the bridge ; and if there was an anchor-watcat all, the man was asleep, for they had Mon-leigh- h come alongside unnoticed. In the doorway of the captain's cabin Wallen halted, with Gunga beside him. There were empty glasses on the locker and an empty bot'tle. Captain Layn-to- n fully dressed, was snoring in his bunk. He sat up with a start at Wal-len- 's second knock. "Hello!" he blinked. "Oh, you. Mr. Wallen! And" he blinked again at Gunga "who's this you've got here?" "My father's servant Gunga," Wal len answered. "You remember, I asked you about him. Gunga, this is Captain Laynton." The East Indian salaamed gravely and profoundly and stepped respect fully back out onto the deck, away from the cabin. Captain Laynton stared at Wallen. Then he rubbed his eyes and stared again. My word!" he ejaculated. "You look as though you'd been in a bally fight." "Do I?" smiled Wallen. "A few wharf-rats- , that's all, captain. We'll get under way now, If you're ready." "Aye, I'm ready," Laynton replied; he was still staring, only more fixedly now at Wallen's clothes. Wallen, following the direction of the other's eyes, glanced down and his own eyes fixed on an ugly red smear across his pocket. He had for gotten that ! It was when he had felt for a match. Aye, Tm ready," said Laynton again. "I was sitting up for you. Beckon finding that chap was your For God's business, eh? Well," I sake, what's that?" It came sudden, quick as the crack of doom two revolver shots In rapid succession from without and then silence. Wallen whirled and rushed on deck. with Laynton stumbling madly behind him. There was no one In sight save Gunga, who came running to meet them from the rail though now from forward, the crew evidently aroused, came commotion. "What was It?" shouted Laynton excitedly. "Who fired those shots?" "They seemed to come from th'-rCaptain Sahib," Gunga answered impassively and pointed forward. With an oath Captain Laynton jumped for the ladder und swung himself down to the foreileck. Wallen's eyes met Gunga's. "Sahib," said Gunga softly, "shall a viper sting twice? I was watching in the boat, for I knew we were ahead of him. He swims well, but once he splashed. It was Kanaka. He will e, swim no more, sahib." "It Is Too Long a Story to Tell View on Derwentwater.
