Achmed Abdullah Books Overview

The Blue-Eyed Manchu

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV ‘Doorgha!’ ‘Hussain Kahn!’ ‘Hussain Kahn!’ ‘Doorgha!’ sang the crunching of the wheels, like the response in some fantastic litany, as the train rushed West and my mind took a back leap. I remembered and I did not wish to remember. For, with Hussain Khan in his grave, what was there to fear? But there was Mascasenhas and there was the crunching of the wheels there was the throb of remembrance in a back cell of my brain. Too, there was the memory of Hussain Khan’s last message to me: ‘Even from beyond the grave I shall kill you!’ I recalled when I had met Hussain Khan a little over eighteen months back. At that time I was employed in the Foreign Office in Washington, D. C. a position which Iheld thanks to my familiarity with the Orient and my knowledge of Oriental languages, and it was quite natural that I should come into frequent contact with the Asiatic gentlemen who crowded Washington that winter, amongst them Hussain Khan, who had come to us with the best of introductions, and who became very much of a lion. And deservedly so. For he was rich, well bred, a splendid linguist, a wonderful polo player, witty, and as handsome as a tiger. The Great War was over, and everything, including world peace, world gushings, Washington, the official society, the cave dwelling society, myself, and Hussain Khan traveled along very smoothly until, over night, the world was startled by a series of murders murders which struck swiftly, mercilessly which, in every single instance, removed some Western man of high standing in his own country and directly or indirectly interested in or connected with the destinies of some Oriental country which, moreover, forced me to believe that one central intelligence, one central energy, was the drivin…

The Man on Horseback

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE UNKNOWN METAL A Long career as chemist and assayer had made a pessimist and misanthrope of Newson Garrett. Miners had come to his laboratory and had offered him large, certified checks, asking nothing of him in return except that he should rectify his reports by taking off a couple of figures from the rubric entitled Silica and add them to that labeled Gold. Other miners had proposed to kill him on the spot when he told them that what they had taken for virgin gold were only shimmering, deceptive bits of iron crystal. Still others, told by him that they had struck it rich, went straightway on a lengthy spree in the old Cceur d’Alene Theater to wake up a week later with a splitting headache and a brown taste, and to discover on returning to their mines that somebody had jumped their claims in the meantime. So he was morose and silent. ‘It’ll take another Treadwell, another Leroy, to make me excited,’ he used to say at the Club over his glass of Vichy and milk, ‘and those days are over. Why, to day a fellow thinks he’s all the Guggenheims rolled into one and multiplied by the sum total of all the Vanderbilts when his stuff runs two ounces to the ton!’ But, five days later, when Tom Graves ambled into his office, still dressed as if he had just come freshfrom the range, in blue jeans tucked into high heeled boots, a gray flannel shirt, and sombrero, but all neat and clean, even slightly dandyish in the careful knotting of the blue cotton necktie, the rakish angle of his hat, and the elaborate pattern stitched on his boot legs, Newson Garrett smiled. He smiled all over his large, puttyish, hairless face, and held out a flabby hand. ‘Mr. Graves,’ he said in his exact, well modulated diction that still smacked of Harvard after a lifetime in the North…
