On the third morning of the pig-sticking Ian Deal rode by the elephant stockades in Hurda just as the American passed. The hands were long that held the bridle-rein, the narrowest Skag had ever seen on a man. The boots were narrow like a poster drawing. It was plainly an advantage for this man to ship his own horse from the south for the few days of sport.
So the people of Hurda went out to meet Neela Deo, King of all elephants. When the front of the throng went by his place, Hand-of-a-God enquired of running men from his own gateway. By his side the Gul Moti stood with Son of Power. When they understood, she pushed her chosen of all men through the vine-made arch and he sprang away and ran with the people.
It is enough for one day." The words were spoken with almost affectionate inflections. Skag was puzzled. Roderick Deal stepped to the door and spoke to a servant; returning to his seat, he smiled openly into Skag's eyes before speaking: "Now you will come with me. We must lose no time." "Yes, I want to get back to Hurda as soon as I can." "Not before the monsoon breaks.
It was many weeks after that when the case was called, and Deenah's eyes grew red-rimmed like a pit-terrier's as he told the story again, but his voice fondled the ears of those present in the court-room. . . . One by one, the other four Kabulies left the market-place in Hurda; and when the monster himself had been made to pay and his healing had been uninterrupted for many weeks, there came, a day when the unwalled city of Hurda knew him no more.
Sanford Hantee of the Natural Research Department, after much opportunity to wrestle with the subtle and gritty and hard-testing demon of delay, came at last to Hurda again, and stepped out of the coach with a throb in his chest and a knot in his throat which only the best and bravest soldiers have brought in from the field.
Carlin told him that her family must understand and be considered and give approval. . . . There was an eldest brother in Poona who must be seen. . . . All arrangements must be made with him. Skag said he would go to Poona at once. . . . They were lingering now at the edge of the jungle; its spices upon them in the dry air. ". . . And I will wait here in Hurda," Carlin was saying.
There comes a male now, to take the rest of this load." Skag watched the added load going into place on the volunteer. It was almost finished, when a trumpet blast sounded directly behind him toward Hurda. Several elephants answered from the regiment; and many mahouts called to each other. "Is that the bad fighter coming?" Skag asked. "Yes, Skag Sahib, that's Nut Kut.
"It was there Mitha Baba found them," the Gul Moti explained. "It was there she did the 'toiling in. Then, she was leading them home to Hurda, when we met the caravan at dawn." Some of the mahouts had gathered about. The Chief Commissioner spoke to them in their speech and they answered him calling others.
Once she had flushed, when someone had marked Ian's absence to the point of speaking of it. Before that, Skag had only heard that Ian was one of the best-loved of all. . . . He watched the meeting of the brother and sister. It was at the railway station in Hurda, and Skag couldn't very well get away.
After that they both dreamed vague man-dreams of Dhoop Ki Dhil. "There stands Dickson Sahib himself!" Cadman exclaimed, at Hurda station; and Skag saw the two meet, perceiving at once that it was a friendship between men of very different type. Then Dickson Sahib promptly gathered them both into that Anglo-Indian hospitality which is never forgotten by those who have found it.
