quietly this: "You mean 'probably.' " So it was
that all simple, basic ideas about God had been
obscured by the good Swede's zeal to superpose
Christ and St. John upon a still vivid background
of early Mussulman teaching. Far from the full
stature of the ideal convert was Achbar, yet he
seemed to be the most complete accomplishment
resulting from years of devout work by the Swedish
mission. One other, indeed, an humble Chinaman,
was thought to be nearly ready to adopt definitely
the Christian title, his inner consciousness being left
to negotiate a compromise like unto that which has
already admirably conjoined Confucianism, Taoism,
and Buddhism into a vague triple control of Chinese
morals.

Lassoo, the Ladaki, was, for our purposes, almost
pure gold. The ways of the sahibs were known to
him as familiarly as his money-pocket, for he had

So it was, I remember, with my caravan in Africa
—the cleverest native of the lot left Adis Ababa
under some marital cloud, which should roll away
as we wandered far; while he courted Danger's
face, time might heal the bruised, too numerous
tendrils of his unbroken heart. Must it be ever
thus? Must the sprightly and inventive mind be
found only in the shifting lover? To us Lassoo was
faithful. Whether his fidelity ran to the person or
to the rupee of the Christian dog, his employer, I
know not; but he was steadfast and intelligent in
moments of great trial.
