CHAPTER X.
Maharan* of Khft«d*w*r.
Both hand and voice might well
have been Ijibertouche*; Amber be-
lieved they were. And the darkne**

but somehow his guide seemed to
past, with never a sidelong glance
for the loaferlsh figure In the shad-
owed doorway ; and the latter seemed
blmself absorbed In the family of Lu-
raatans who were shrilly squabbling
with the keeper of vegetable stall ad-
jacent. But presently he wearied of
their noise, yawned, thrust both
deep in his pocket* and stumbled
away. The bazar acceptod him as a
brother, unquestioning, and he picked
his way through it with an ease that
argued nothing but absolute familiar-
ity with his surroundings. But always
you may be sure, he had the gleam of
pink satin in the corner of his eye.
In time broad Machua bazar street
received them-Plnk Satin and the
•allorman out for a night of it. And
now Pink Satin began to stroll more
•edately, manifesting a livelier lntei>
est In the sights of the wayside. Am-
ber's Impatience—for he guessed that
they neared the goldsmith's stall—in-
creased prodigiously.
Without warning. Pink Satin pulled
up. extracted from the recesses of his
costume a long, black and vindictlv^
looking native cigar, and lighted it,
thoughtfully exhaling the smoke
through his nose while he stared cov-
etously at the display of a slipper-
merchant whose stand was over
across from the stall of a goldsmith
With true oriental deliberation Pink
Satin finally made up h^jnind to
move on; and Amber lurched heavily
into the promises occupied by one
Phola Baksh, a goldsmith.
■ A customer, a slim, handsome Ma-
layan youth, for the moment held the
attention of the proprietor. The two
were haggling with characteristic en-
joyment over a transaction which
ieemed to involve less than twenty
nmees Amber waited, knowing that
patience must be his portion until the
bargain should be struck. Dhola
Baksh himself, a lean, sharp-featured
Mahratta gray with age, appraised
with a single look the new customer,
«nd returned his interest to the Ma^
lay. But Amber garnered from^that
elance a sensation of recognition. He
wondered dimly, why; could the gold-
*mlth have been warned of his com

IVU lllllO UWMW*v.
Ever since that knife had flown
past hi* cheek, hi* instinct of self-
preservation had been dominated by a
serene confidence that Pink Satin wa*
at hand to steer him in safety away
from the brawl. He thanked his stars
for Labertouche—for the hand that
clasped his arm and the voice that
spoke guardedly in hi* ear.
And then, by the light of the streeL
he discovered that his gratitude had
been premature and misplaced. HI*
guide had fallen a pace behind and
was shouldering him along with al-
most frantic energy; but a glance
aside showed Amber, in Labertouche s
stead, a chunky little Gurkha In the
fatigue uniform of his regiment of the
British army of India. Pink Satin
was nowhere in sight, and it wa* im-
mediately apparent that an attempt
to find him among the teeming hun-
dreds before the goldsmith's stall
would be as futile as foolish—if not
fatal Yet Amber's impulse was to
wait, and he faltered-someth ng
which seemed to exasperate the
gurkha, who fairly danced with ex-
citement and impatience.
"Hasten, hazoor!" he cried. "Is this
a time to loiter? Hasten ere they
charge you with this spilling of blood.
The gods lend wings to our feet this
Dl"But who are you?" demanded Am-
"What matter is that? Is it not
enough that I am here and well dis-
posed toward you, that I risk my skin
to save yours?" He cannoned sudden-
ly against Amber, shunting him un-
ceremoniously out of the bazar road
and into a narrow black alley.
Simultaneously Amber heard a cry
go up. shrill above the clamor of the
mob. screaming that a white sailor
had knifed the goldsmith. And be
turned pale beneath his tan.
-You hear, hazoor? They are nam-
ing you to the police-wallahs. Come.
-You're right." Amber fell into a
long free stride that threatened quick-
ly to distance the gurkha's short,
sturdy leg*. "Yet why do you take
this trouble for me?
"Why ask?" panted the gurkha
"Did I not stand behind you and see
that you did not throw the knife? Am
I a dog to stand by and see an inno-
cent man yoked to a crime?" He
Uughed shortly. "Am I * fool to for^
get how great is the generosity of
kings? This way. hasoor!"

he had flung the man off and bounded
to his feet. There was the automatic
pistol in his coat pocket, but, he. con-
scious that many hand* were reaching
again, found no time to draw it. He
seemed to feel the presence of the
nearest antagonist, whom he could by
no means see; for he struck out with
both bare, clenched fists, one after
the other, with his weight behind
each, and both blows landed. The
room rang with the sounds of the
struggle, the shuffle, thud, and scrape
of feet both booted and bare, the
hoarse harsh breathing of the com-
batants, their groans, their whispers,
their low, tense cries.
And abruptly It was over. He was
borne down by sheer weight of num-
bers. Though be fought with the
insanity of despair they were too
many for him. He went a second
time to the floor, beneath a dozen half-
nnde bodies. Below him lay another.

... I, thy servant, Sallg Singh,
bid thee welcome to Bharuta!"
Sonorous and not unpleaslng, hlft
voice trembled with Intense and un-
questionable earnestness; and when
It ceased he remained motionless in
his attitude of humility. Amber,
hardly able to credit his hearing,
■tared down ftt the man stupidly, hlg
h?ad awhirl with curiously commin-
gled sensations of amazement and en-
lightenment. Presently he laughed
shortly.
"Get up," he said; "get up and
stand over there by the wall and don't
be a silly ass."
"Hazoor!" There was reproach in
Salig Singh's accents; but he obeyed,
rising and retreating to the further
wall there to hold himself at attention.
"Now see here," began Amber, de-
signedly continuing his half of the
conversation in English^-far too much
misunderstanding had already been
brought about by his too-ready fa-
miliarity with Urdu. He paused a lit-
tle to collect his thoughts, then re-
sumed: "Now see here, you're Salig
Singh maharana of Khandawar?
This much he recalled from his con-
versation with Labertouche a coupla
of hours gone.
"Hazoor, why dost thou neea ask"
Thou dost know." The Rajput, on hla
part, steadfastly refused to Teturn
to English.
"But you are, aren't you?"
"By thy favor, it is even so."
"And you think I'm Rutton—Har
Dyal Rutton, as you call him. the for.
mer maharana who abdicated in your
favor?"
The Rajput shrugged expressively,
an angry light in his dark, bold eye*.
"It pleases my lord to jest," he com-
plained; "but am I a child, to be
played with?"
"I'm not joking. Salig Singh, and
this business is no joke at all. What

dark, set face cast in a mold of in-
solence ftnd pride. A bushy black
beard was parted at his chin and
brushed stiffly back. Between his thin
his teeth gleamed white. Standing a
head taller than Amber and very
gracefully erect in clothing of a semi-
military cut and of regal magnificence,
every inch of his pose bespoke power,
position, and the habit of authority.
At once impressed and irritated by
his attitude. Amber lowered his
weapon. "Well?" he demanded queru-
lously. "What do you want? What's
your part in this infamous outrage?"
On the other's face the faint smile
became more definite. He nodded non-
chalantly at Amber's pistol. "My
lord intends to shoot?" he enquired
in English, his tone courteous and
suave.
"That's as may be," retorted Am-
ber defiantly. "I'm going to have sat-

After a time one Utle boy cama up

"See my nice square-cut waist," ex-
claimed the girlie, "and my nice coral

"No sire-ee," replied the boy. T
