and set of walking for the beach. But
he was not destined to go far. With
cry, John seized the branch Of tree,
whipped the crutch out of his armpit,
and sent that uncouth missile hurling
through the air. 1t struck poor Tom,
point foremost, and with stunning
violence, right between the shoulders
in the middle of his back. His hands
flew up, he gave sort of gasp, and
fell.
Whether he was injured much or
little none could ever tell. Like enough,
to judge from the sound, his back was
broken on the spot, but he had no time
given him to recover. Silver, agile as
monkey. even without leg or crutch.
was on the top of him the next moment,
and had twice buried his knife up to the
bilt in that defenseless body. From my
place of ambush could hear him pant
loudly as he struck the blows.

faint, but do know that for the next
little while the whole world swan
away from before me in a whirling
mist; Silver and the birds and the tall
spy-glass hilltop, going round and
round and topsy turvy before my eyes,
and all manner OF bells ringing and dis
tant voices shouting in my ears.
When l came again to myself, the
monster had pulled himself together,
his crutch under his arm, his hat upon
his head. Just before him Tom lay
motionless upon the sward; but the
murderer minded him not a whit,
cleansing his blood-stained knife the
while upon whisp of grass. Every
thing else was unchanged, the sun still
shining mercilessly on the steamina
marsh and the tall pinnacle of the noun
tain, and could scarce persuade my
self that murder had actually been
done. and human life cruelty cut
short a moment since before my eyes.
But now John put his hand into his
pocket, brought out n whistle, and blew
upon it several modulated blasts, that
rang far across the heated air. could
not tell, Of course, the meaning Of the
