twenty to travel comfortably in that
car. but they cheerfully huddled to-
gether n toe their turns sitting
down, and somewhere along in the
night it came Cameron's turf to slide
down on the floor and stretch out for
Il while; or perhaps his utter weari-
ness made him drop their involun-
tarily, because he could nc longer
keep awake. For a few minutes the
delicious ache of lying fiat enveloped
MIN and carried him away into un-
consciousness with a lulling ecstasy.
Then suddenly Wainwright seemed TO
loom over him and demand that he
rise and let him lie down in his place.
1T seemed to Cameron that the
letharsy that had stolen over him as
he fell asleep VAS like heavy bags Of
sand tied to his hands and feet. He.
could not rise if he would. He
thought he tried to tell Wainwright
that he. was unfair. He was an Off
Ger and had better accommodations,
What need had he to come back here
and steal a weary private's sleep. But
his lips refused to open and his
throat gave out no sound. Vain
wright seemed gradually stopping
nearer. nearer. with a large soft
hand about his throat, and his little
pig eyes cleaning like two points Of
green light, his selfish mouth all
pursed up as~it used to be when the
fellows stole his all-day-sucker, and
held it tantalizingly above his reach
One of his large cuslnionv knees vas
upon Camcron's chest now, and the
breath was going from him. He
sasped' n tried to shout to the 9TH
er fellows that this was the time Ia
40 away with this tyrant, this can
taln.s pet, but still only a croak
would come from his lips. With one
nllghty effort he wrenched his hands
ana rect into action, and lunged nm
at the mighty bully above hin,
struggling, clutching wildly for his
throat. with but one thought in his
Dreaming brain. to kill-to kill!
