struck StilIm on the head with his cane.

Man after man was shot down on the
streets of the pagan quarter, and so seri-

was assuming and withdrew from the boy

Sam Yups questioned the motive of the
association in withdrawing from the boy

while the See Yups pointed the finger of
scorn at the organization that had led
them into fight only to desert them in
