couched their lances with the determine

this encounter two OF the whites were un-

more on an equal basis. while in the third
conflict the whites again suffered similar
disaster. and but one remained to redeem
his party's lapse from an advantage gained
In the opening combat.

misshapen Jester. With whip and spur he
was vehemently plying horse that Stub

tourney. the hunchback had bribed one of

parently angry dwarf. "Will you be balky
now. when Triboulet has glory within his
grasp? Miserable beast! unhappy fate

If not destined to score success with his
lance. the dwarf at least had won a victory
