Business picked up at once. and the
warm spring atmosphere WAS shat

whip had . combination grapevine

striving to achieve the deadly toe

The 6rst thing Robbins did was to
unwrap the snake from about his

strictly In accord with the wrestling
regulations. Instead Of pinning the
coachwhip's shoulders to the .radish
bed. Robbins deliberately and with

Of the barn.
The battle ended there. The snake
measured two inches over two yards.

The dawn came slowly. and with but

encircled her throat, and there were
numerous rings upon her fingers. The

the horror.
