"If Rundhia should be planning a coup 'of Mine kind, don't you think he'd be cunning enough to kick up a moke screen?" "Rundhia is more Impetuous than cunning," the Resident answered. Norwood thought again, scowling, for hall a minute. Then: "D'you think he's sufficiently impetuous to try to kill several birds with one stone?" "He might be. He's an impatient fellow not at all good at waiting for what he makes up bis mind that he wants." "If he could prejudice the case against the priests, by accusing them of having bribed me. And if he could break me for taking a bribe. And break you for knowing about it but doing nothing there would be a scandal that might distract attention from whatever else he might be doing at the moment." "I concede that," said the Resident "But if I report you as charged with having accepted a bribe, can you disprove it? If you could identify the Brahmin who, you say, put those diamonds into your pocket without your knowledge, he would say on the witness stand that you had demanded a bribe, and that he saw some unknown person hand It to you. How can you prove you didn't know those diamonds were in your pocket? Can you?" "No." said Norwood. "Stay away from the palace. Better wait until Rundhia makes the first move." "You don't believe in taking bulls by the horns." "Norwood, 1 had a premonition the moment you arrived, that that red hair of yours would set fire to things. We're in a fine mess. It's either you or Rundhia. It breaks you, if he can make his accusations good. Witnesses come cheap in Ka-dur. He could hire them by the dozen. But if he fails to make it good, I think I can guarantee you it shall break him." "Hardly fair to me. is it, to com' pel me to sit still and be shot at?" "What do you suggest?" 'Tint, I'll write that statement Then I'd like to have a talk with Miss Lynn Harding." CHAPTEK X Moses Lafayette O'Leary, with a cigar in his teeth, wearing a clean solar striped shirt and a topee, strolled along the widest street of the bazaar; it was about fourteen feet wide, lined on either snow-whi- te hand by rows of open shops in which and adbunnias sat cross-legge- d mired the gracious ways of God, who brings business to people who wait patiently. A sacred bull, abominably fat from plundering the sacks of grain In front of the shops, blocked O'Leary's way. He kicked the brute. It bellowed with rage and plunged into a Cheap Jack shop, upsetting tables and trays. The Cheap Jack and his family abused O'Leary Instead of the bulL but O'Leary took no notice of such a .trifle as that, beyond tilting the topee a bit further over his right eye. He was using his left eye. He bad spotted Noor Mahlam lurking in a doorway, and he knew Noor Mahlam waited for him; he looked as if he had been waiting a long time, exhausting nearly all the philosophy from behind that serenely wrinkled corn-chandle- forehead. "Wipe your spectacles," said Moses. "Don't you recognize me?" Noor Mahlam began to answer in the vernacular. Moses Interrupted: "Speak English. If you've business with me, I don't want it known all over the bazaar. Where's that three hundred rupees you promised met" "You are too late," said Noor Mahlam. "You mean you've spent it?" "That Is a foolish question. If I had spent it, I could get more twice, three times as much." "Uh-huhsaid Moses. "What do you mean? You were watching for me. What do you want?" "Someone has taken a very much bigger bribe than three hundred rupees." said Noor Mahlam. "Who has?" "Someone. You know him." "You paid it to him?" "No. Others paid it to him, and there were witnesses. But an impartial witness, who could testify to having seen the bribe in someone'! tunic pocket, would be worth not three hundred rupees, but three times that much, or even more sav a thousand. That is a lot of money." O'Leary grinned: to me." "You show it Noor Mahlam blinked behind his spectacles: "You take me for a simpleton? You think I carry fortunes in my pocket, to tempt the bazaar thieves?" "Terms for witness," said O'Leary. "are cash in advance." easy man to deal with. Here, now or never." Noor Mahlam's attitude changed subtly. His almost invisible mouth grimaced into a smile behind the hair that usually masked revelation: "Ah, sahib! If it were only you that we must deal with. You we could count on. You we could trust Your intelligence is such that we could safely pay you in advance and confidently count upon your fat off the ham," "Trot out the meat "You can cut the said Moses.

Certainly he had never learned boxing; he carried his chin much too far forward. It was an absolutely perfect target for Moses' toe, which very nearly broke from the impact The man in the red turban dropped without a groan, motionless, stunned. Moses picked up his knife, wiped it carefully, smelt the blade and ran his thumb gently along the edge. A very dirty looking person in a huge soiled white turban and ragged clothing emerged from a doorway and grinned at Moses handed him the Moses. Norwood smiled. "I wish to speak to Miss Lynn Harding alone." Mrs. Harding set her mouth grim ly: "I will not even deliver a message to her unless I approve the message. I am tired of being used as a mere convenience." "Packing up to go?" asked Norwood. "Miss Harding going away with you?" "If not, it will be the last she will ever see of me. I have received an impertinent note from the value." "Easy!" said O'Leary. "Easy. Now I get you! You and I can do You're a sensible man. business.

Even so, he was delayed, near the end of the street that leads toward the teeming section of the city. Moses O'Leary stood there watching for him. He looked filthy, and at least partially drunk. But he made signals. It was almost never wise to ignore O'Leary's signals. Norwood drew rein. "I've "Hssst!" said O'Leary. news!" "Quick." "It ain't good news." "Out with it." "It's all over the bloody bazaar that you've taken a bribe from the priests. Say it ain't true!" "What did you say?" "I said what I've told the priest any number o' times: 'I'm a bad man, I am. There's almost nothing I ain't guilty of, one time or another. But I've this to my credit I'm the wet and dry nurse to a gentleman.' That's what I said." "What do you mean by all over the bazaar?
