Sanders. disobedient at last, could

great bulk beneath. In desperation he
shrieked to the strikers to stop, to
wait, to dc anything but throw more.
A few more scattering rocks fell
neal him, but none struck the mark.
The mob, robbed for an instant of its
prey, hesitated to stone to death a
mere boy. There was something so
fearless and yet so appealing in his
attitude that it cried pause.
Sanders. in a fury of rage, the blood
of fighting Irish ancestors coursing
hotly in his veins, ~harangued them
even as they commanded him to step
aside or run away.

there isn't a one of you that would

two of you. You were afraid. You
knew he would lick you. You had to

the woman's mind. the other possessed
the advantage, and would certainly
improve it. All conditions were de-
eidedly in his favor He merely
needed to convince the girl that she
was actually the party sought, and
she would go forward, playing the
game he desired. believing herself
right, totally unconscious of any
fraud. The very simplicity of it rem
