of the Intrusion.
“Jltendral" sharply ejaculated Wil

The music abruptly ceased.
The ophidians, as If scenting pos

glided with amazing swiftness over to
the Hindu. He thrust one nonchalant

“I get you, Steve,” laughed Buck up- 1
roarlously. “And I think I savvy an- '
other little Incident which occurred !
when the late Jalislngrao Jltendra— |
Gee! what a mouthful that name is—
was In my company. If you had that j
interesting creature uround your head I
when yofi leaned over toward Manuel 1
Pacheco on the way to jail In Zapa- j
tilllo, no wonder he kicked off so mys
teriously. I'll match a cobra against
a greaser, any day.”
“The vengeance of Vishnu is swift
and sure,” placidly returned the Hindu.
“Likewise, sahib, Siva was of some
small service to you during the earth-
life of the late Jltendra.”
“You mean down in the carcel?”
The little brown man bowed low.
“Sahib, when Siva crept under the
door where no man might pass, and
coiled upon the neck of the guard,
think you not there were reasons why
he wished, very much, to corne inside
to have speech with Jltendra?”
“Ugh!” shuddered Buck, “I should
think there were—plenty of them. So
that was how you nailed the sentry in
the corridor. And It was his rifle
which the late Jltendra gave me, I sup
pose?”
Swami Ram nodded.
“Vishnu and Siva, sahib, ns you will
testify, are not without power to suc
cor the deserving in their distress.”
“They’re a couple of perfectly good
snakes,” hastily acquiesced the Ameri
can. "But why did Jltendra die in
stead of following ino out of the
prison? And what became of that
other Mexican guard?"
“Jltendra had lost caste by being
thmst into that foul dungeon by un
clean hands, sahib. Also, ho had
smoked a cigarette, which is likewise
forbidden. He was to wed the Princess
Indira, but she must now seek another
husband. It was needful for him to
excarnate for purification.”
“But they took you out to shoot you,
didn’t they? I thought I heard the vol
ley just as I rode up.”
“A little patience, sahib. The guard
In the hall vowed obedience to Vishnu
and Siva In return for his life, thus
becoming a novitiate on the Seven
Paths. It was he who made ready for
Jltendra to puss out by hiding the pow
der kegs in the old drain beneath the
place where the killers of men were
accustomed to stand.
“Also he strewed powder to the hole
where Jltendra stood when‘he lighted
the forbidden cigarette. Jltendra did
not smoke cigarettes, but his act was
necessary to carry out the will of the
gods. For, sahib, those deluded ones
were also fated to seek wisdom else
where. Not until they shuM raise the
veil* of Maya from their vision and,
perceiving Truth, resolve to kill no
more, may they hope to return to-
earth-life.”
Buck Williams grinned at the naive
recital. His three friends were too
astounded to speak.
“Where are you going now?” queried
the mine owner.
“A novitiate of the gods, who waa
once a Jail guard, wafts for me with
horses in the hills. Sahib, may a poor
Swami presume upon your generos

are cold and hungry. Warmth they
may find from my own body, but food,
