For a moment he did not recog- nize me. Then he knew that his hour had come. He stood up. For the space of a hundred breaths we faced each other, thirty feet apart. * ‘Slayer of my son,’ I said at’last, ‘is this the end of your running away?’ “I threw that other saber to his feet, but he stood irresolute. He thought I meant to kill him when he stooped for it. I turned my back, turn- ing again too soon for him to play that border trick on me. *‘Sirdar Duleep Singh,” he said then, ‘slay me, and the hangman has you. If I slay you, then the hangman has me. This is not the Harnai. Ii- hamdy’ lillah, there is law in this land. Let there be peace between us.’ “‘] have only my saber,” I said, ‘wherewith to make peace. I have sworn to use it.’ ““Thereat he came on. No more than a panther was he irresolute when he couldn’t escape. He was true to his fame. He attacked. Crouching, smil- ing, counting on the left-hand skill that always gave him the advantage against a right-handed man, he was resolved to make swift work of it. The moonlight shimmered on a blade that stole toward me, creeping, creeping nearer, ready for the thrust and slice. . “But he hesitated. I, too, took my saber in the left hand. I am either- handed. He had never fought a left- handed opponent. Moonlight on his eyes revealed his fear that now he Will your scalp stand the “FINGERNAIL TEST?” There are two common kinds of now say causes 7 out of 10 cases of premature baldness!

He kept his dis- tance, waiting for me to attack. “ ‘Not so easy,’ said I, ‘as to hew down a lad in the dark! Do you fear death, Yussuf bin Ibraim?’ *“Then steel touched steel and sparks flew. Yussuf bin Ibraim knew, he knew full well his hour had come. The mo- ment his blade felt mine, he knew it. Itenraged him. Ratherthandie tamely, he outdid that stallion I had watched him conquer. He threw away caution, experience, skill. He came at me with thrice the fury of a panther, pitting youth against my years. “I remembered my oath. I let him squander strength and wind until his lungs lost their vigor and his tricks their cunning. Then I disarmed him, with a twist of the wrist. His saber lay on the earth between us. He was well ‘nigh breathless, but he found speech: ¢ ‘Slay then. End my shame.’ “I, too, was breathless. ‘Which shame?’ I demanded. ““He looked down at his saber that lay between us. *“ “Then take it up,” said I. ‘and let pride have its will.’ “l stood back. He resumed his weapon. And again he came at me. The pause had breathed him. He was less wild, more cunning, stalking me to make me face the moonlight. But the magic of my Guru’s teaching was upon me, and I wore him down. I wearied him as he had wearied that savage stallion, until he panted and drooled at the mouth, until he stumbied — and then suddenly leaped back- ward. He hurled the saber at me. It came flashing point-first. “But I can split sticks in the air. The bread I eat is paid for by the people who buy my leave to hurl them at me. So 1 turned aside the saber. It struck rock away beyond me. *‘Slay” he said then. ‘And may Allah curse your soul” “‘But I lowered my point. I said: ‘If Allah curse not, then what?’ *“ ‘I am ashamed,’ he answered. ** ‘Which shame now?’ I asked him. ‘You may have your weapon. It lies yonder.’ ** ‘Nay,’ he said. ‘Slay!” “I answered: ‘Who art thou, to give me leave to slay?’ And he was silent. So I asked him: * ‘Have I hunted you by land and sea to discover no deeper shame than makes a brute to treachery?’ *“He answered: ‘My shame lies deeper.’ “I said: ‘Name it.” *He stood silent. But I waited. Presently he said: ‘Sirdar bahadur, I am ashamed that I slew your son.’ *Said I: ‘I knew that. Shaving and running and changing names is not an evidence of pride. I slay not. Why not?’ ““*‘Mash’ Allah” he answered. ‘I know not why, unless that your honor is higher than mine.’ “I said: ‘I, too, have slain men’s sons. I obeyed a law and my oath. You also. You obeyed the law that you knew, Yussuf-bin Ibraim. Has it rewarded pride?’ ‘I am ashamed,” he answered. ‘How many times shall I say it?’ ““So I asked him: ‘Will you yield toa Jaw that is higher than yours or mine?’ ““ ‘Which law?’ he asked. ‘The hang- man’s?’ *“‘Nay,’ said I. ‘The law that brought me hither and that stayed my hand, which could have slain the slayer of my son.” *‘And he said: ‘If I yield not?’ “*Then,” I answered, ‘you shall go free, Yussuf bin Ibraim, to pursue the consequences of your own law.’ *‘He stood silent for the space of a minute, or longer. Then he said: ‘Sir- dar bahadur, 1 yield.””’ Quinn nudged me. ‘‘He may tell that,” he said, ‘‘to a jury. Yussuf bin Ibraim was found dead of a sword wound.” He put a whistle to his lips. I don’t know why he hesitated. The Sirdar stared at us. He drove his naked saber point into the earth and raised his hand high. “Did I speak truth?”’ he demanded. ‘‘Yussuf bin Ibraim! Stand up! Answer — "’ Joe Abram got up from beside me. Joe — Yussuf; Abram — Ibraim. He strode toward the Sirdar. Together they turned seaward and walked arm- in-arm along the moonlit glade. *“I’ll be sugared,” said Quinn. “‘Well, I told you that identification was doubtful.” “Corfey?” said Mr. Whittlesea.
