before it was yet noon that he was be-

waist and legs were bruised. One
sweep Of the ak had cut clean thru
the bulging leather Of his left boot
without touching the flesh. In a
word, he was practically uninjured.
He had the doglike habit Of shak-
ing himself at the close of fray.
He did so now when he stood up. Iris
showed clearer signs Of the ordeal.
Her face was drawn and haggard, the
pupils of her eyes dilated. She was
razing into depths, illimitable, unex-
p1ored. Compassion awoke at sight OF
