he'd flap his great red tongue
around his jaws and mop his
streaming face and chuck away his
streaming name; and all the time

Twyning prompting him with the
venom pricking and bursting in the
corners OF his mouth, all the time

Il was standing right across the
court at right angles to him | was
wedged tight. Scarcely breathe, ret
alone move. l wrote on a bit of pa
per to Sabre that l was here and
let him get up and ask for me.
Sabre snatched the thing as if lie
was mad at it, and read it, and
buzzed it on the floor and ground
his heel on it, Just to show me,
suppose. Nice! Poo- devil, my
gooseberry eyes went up about ten
degrees. But later ehad another
shot. I-well-I'lI come to that in
a minute"
They pushed OF the case with
the obvious witnesses-police, doc
tor, and SO on. Then the thing
hardened down. Then Sabre saw
what was coming at him-saw it at
a clap and never had remotely
dreamt of it; saw it like a tiger
coming down the street to devour
him; saw it like the lid of hell
slowly slipping away before his
eyes. Saw it! 1 was watching him.
He saw it; and things-age, gray
ness, lasting and immovable calam-
ity-I don't know what-frightfu
things-came down on his face like
the dust OF ashes settling on a pol
ished surface.
You see, what this Humpo fiend
was laying out for was, first that
Sabre was the father of the girls
child, second that he'd deliberately
put the poison in her way and
brutally told her he was done with
her, and gone off and left her so
that she should do what she had
done and he be rid of her. Yes.
Yes, old man. And he'd got a case!
By the living lingo, he'd got such
case as a Crown prosecutor only

Listen. Just listen and see for
yourself. Worked off the police evil
