"Mutteh Ghar," he said, "I have seen you bring down three of the skulking ruffians.

"Keep your eye on those rocks.

Just above where they touch each other there is an opening, through which you can see the snow behind.

That is where he fired from.

Oblige me by putting a ball in his head, when he raises it." A couple of minutes passed.
