However we will be able to ride. Then I want to orosa tba river SutlaJ and make for tha Indian frontier. It Is no use trying for any particular pass. It will all depend on whara we find ourselves. I don't think tha Tiger can have more than 100 men ai most, and he la aura to have aent many off In ones and twos aa scouts.

But really wa ought to elude them with any luok with the greater part of weatern Tibet In front oi us.- Ths next ten days seemed like one protracted nightmare. All night rides across the barren uplands: day long penoos or anxious suspense, punctu ated by snatches of sleen: tha ner. petual diet of roast pigeon and cold water usually melted snow varied on one great oosasloa when Jogaroo managed to knock over a blue Tibetan hare which scuttled away from under hla feet: the frustrated attempt at croasing tna &.anas range whan a band of the enemy discovered them and auddenly opened fire--the wild gallop north once more In tha dark neas: the aucceasful passage of the ran re by a paas of over 1,000 feet on which the snow still lay In great white sheets luckily the gradients were so easy that It waa possible to rids all the way, but even tha sturdy little Rndok ponies showed signs of great distress: ths drop down into the canyon of the SutleJ when every nook and every hollow was a probabls hid lng plsce for a lurking foe. The croasing of ths river was In It self a real adventurs They did not dare to use one of the regular bridges, snd pad to risk a ford. For a whole day they stayed In a large cave In the foot of cliffs which form the sides of the canyon. They watched the wa ters rise as the sun melted tha feed ers. Ice bound by ths previous night's frost Then as ths shadowa length ened once more the tide began to slacken until at midnight the river had fallen aeveral feet They held their feet high as their ponlea boldly waded through the turgid current, and dismounting' on the southern bank, rubbed the brave beasts legs to try and aave them from tha awful cold. Then up, up through a mase of cliffs and ravlnea until tha tilted levels were gained once more. They skirted ths towns of Dongpu snd Daba and were heading for the Nitl pass and safety when a body of some 20 mounted men .suddenly ap peared from a low range of hills known to an older generation of sportsmen as the "Lai pahar" (Red hilla), ao called on aocount of their deep red color. The moon did not rise now until later and they continued their march In the early morning, but on this occasion they were very1 near ly caught As It was, a handy ravine hid them In the nick of time, and following Its course they rode northwest away from the enemy, but away from the pass as well. On, on they trekked pest the old Tibetan gold works near Dogkwa Aur and past ths encamping ground of Gandok where they were again discovered by a hand of mounted Chinamen who pursued them at a mad gallop across th great Gandok plain wnera ueoifrey naa onoe shot some Ovis Ammon (the great wild sheep of Tibet) soma yeara before the war. His knowledge of the ground saved them. for he led ths way down, down Into the great ravine of the Hop Gadh, three thousand feet In depth, and ahook off their pursuers onoe more as they threaded northward along the sandy bottom. But they were again discovered as they climbed the farther aide, and only reached the top by a narrow path riding through an Intermittent but persistent fusllade. "At this rate we will soon reach Shlpkl and the maln Hindustan-Tibet road," thought Geoffrey but even as they were nearing this goal they found a large band of tha enemy in front heading them off. "Sahib," said Jogaroo, "I know this Isnd. I have traded hare often. I oan lead you over tha Gugeranga pass to Bashahr, my own country. But tha way la very difficult" Gladly Geoffrey agreed, for there j seemed no other way out and tbsy JT5 along ravine bottoms, or clinging to a the ahadowa of hills and cliffs, thay no longer marched by night The road waa too rough and too uncer tain.

The start waa made before dawn, and they gained tha boulder strewn valley which lad up to tha paas with out bslng detected. Hera they ware compelled to leave their ponlea. The gallant little beata had , stood the strain wonderfully, having had no feed other than what they had gain ed when graslng, but thay ware very dona up and the road ahead was alto gether too rough.

Gras lng was plentiful and Geoffrey know that thay would be able to shift tor themselves as wall as tha wild ante lope and sheep, , ' Jogaroo tied th baggage to his back, aad they sst out on their final ollrau.
