e e rare phenomenon IN inns iat'
| suits before my eyes, trifing as were these,
| woke me from my trance and again gave
full play to my wits.
Fascinated and partly stunned es | had
been by the fendish face of INV enemy and
the full significance of the evil fortune into
which had suddenly fallen, like him, !
sat through the connection. Every unim.
| portant detail about him, from the broken
pearl button on his shirt front down to the
grains of powder in the pistol pan and the
| fine edge of the flint in the lock, found a
| force of attraction to the eye only known
| TO those who fall into sudden hopelessness
or deep depression.
But with the dancing of the tableware n
quick idea shot through INV brain. and
showed me last desperate chance to ex.
tricate myself from the coil about me.
Natural phenomenon in the shane Of a
breeze had saved me from the knife of the
negro, and now twas an earthquake that
might open way for my deliverance by
| splashing water from pitcher.
Straining my nerves to conceal the new
hope that had sprung to life, / began to act
Never had / felt nv muscles knit firmer OF
been less in need Of stimulant than when
sinking back as if at last overcome by the
combined shock of his words and the CON
yuision OF nature, which had now passed,
s ssI Slowly ana as though dazed:

You have none OF the Indian in you,
you pale,llyered sneak!' he answered
"Drink, then, and gather your spunk and
legs Tor action; Beat me with the fiat OF
your sword! Fore God! But wait till
can shit my eye from you! Drink, and then
move before we have another quake, and the
walls about us-twill be your last dram. y
