He did not draw rein until it was nearly time for the Pass to begin narrowing and humping upward to the narrow gut at Ali Masjid. But then he halted suddenly. The jackals had ceased howling, and the very spirit of the Khyber seemed to hold its breath and listen.
"And not in Delhi?" "In Delhi these were not known. There were no witnesses in Delhi. In the fort at Ali Masjid there will be a dozen ready to swear to them!" "Then, why did they obey?" asked King. "What is that on the sahib's wrist?" "You mean ?" "Sahib if she said, 'Walk into the fire or over that Cliff! there be many in these 'Hills' who would obey without murmuring!"

By the way, you've a brother in the K.R., haven't you?" "At Ali Masjid, sir." "Give him my regards when you see him, will you?" "Thank you, sir." "There's your engine whistling. You'd better hurry, Good-by, my boy. Get word to me whenever possible. Good luck to you! Regards to your brother! Good-by!" King saluted and stood watching while the general hurried to the waiting motor-car.
