CHAPTER ",

It is astonishing-andI have heard
many make the same remark-hOw
acute ones senses become at such a
crisis as this. l am convinced that at
no moment is one living so wildly, so
acutely, as at the instant when a vio-
lent and foreseen death overtakes one.
/ could smell the resinous fagOts, /
could see every twig upon the ground,
1 could hear every rustic of the
branches, as l have never smelled, or
seen, or heard, save at such times of
danger. And so it was that, long be-
fore anyone else, before even the time
when the chief had addressed me, had
heard a. low, monotonous sound, far
away, indeed, and. yet. coming. nearer
art every Instant. AT first it was but a
murmur, a rumble, but by the time he
had finished speaking, while the assas-
sins were untying my ankles in order to
lead me to the scene of my murder, 1

tree up on one side of the glade, and
tied rope around the top of the trunk.
He then fastened another rope in the
same fashion to a similar tree on the
other side The two loose ends were
now dangling down, and / waited with
some curiosity and just little trepida-
ton to see what they would do next.
The whole band pulled upon one of the
ropes until they had bent the strong
young tree down into semi-circle,
and they then fastened it to stump,
SO as to hold it so. When they had
bent the other tree down in a similar
fashion, the two SUBMITS were within
a few feet of each other, though, as
you understand, they would each
spring back to their original position
the instant that they were released. L
already saw the diabolical plan which
those miscreants had formed.
81 presume that you are strong man,
colonel" said the chief, coming toward
me with his hateful smile.
eff you will have the kindness to
loosen these cords" answered, Il will
show you how strong l am"
eve were all interested to see wheth-
er you were as strong as these two
young saplings," said he. 1T is our in
tention, you see, to tie one end of each
rope round your ankles and then to let
the trees go. If you are stronger than
the trees, then, of course, no harm would
be done. If on the other hand the trees
are stronger than you-why, in that
case, colonel, we may have a souvenir
of you upon each side of our little
glade" He laughed as he spoke, and at
the sight of it the whole forty of them
laughed also. Even now if l am in my
darker humor, or if I have touch of
my old Lithuanian ague, see in my
sleep that ring of dark savage faces
with their cruel eyes and the freight
flashing upon their strong white teeth.
