She saw him burst through q tlickel

trousers and the scruff OF the neck and
thrown him. as he had thrown Ron

went down backward; and Bryce,
charging over them. stretched two
more with well-placed blows from left

clearing. running at top speed. for he
realized that for all the desperation
OF his fight and the losses already in
filcted on his assailants, the odds
against him were insurhountable.
Seeing him running away, the
Laguna Grande woodsmen took heart
and hope and pursued him. Straight
for the loading donkey at the dog
