What the devil was he thinking Of?
Had he forgotten? Was he awake
now to the frightful places he kept
getting into and wondering if this

After about two years, claps in his

Sabre gives his first clear, cal
culated words since he had got up
there. | guess he had been pulling
himself together to look for trap.
He said very slowly, trying each
word, like a chap feeling along on

you, madam, Turn out that woman.
Who is that?'
"Commotion. A woman pressed
out from the mob behind and walked
up the court like a goddess, like por-

she went with that to old Sabre and
stopped over him and touched him
with both her hands and said,
Mako, Mako.
Matter of fact Sabre was the first
one to speak. He threw up his arm
from where he'd been covering his
face, just as he'd thrown it up when
called out, and swung her hands
aside and called out, Don't touch
me- Leave me alone. Leave me alone
"She motioned to the man beside
him, and the chap got up as if her
motion had been Circe's and disap-
peared. And she took his plahe and
sat down beside Sabre and poor old
Sabre crouched away from her as if
he was stung, and old Buddha,
reaching out for his dignity, said,
You may remain there, madam, if
you do not interrupt the court
There wasn't much more to in

Sabre at first gave no attention
About mile along his disabled knee,
refused longer to be the fiogged slave

He got in.
Sabre stumbled into his house and
pushed the door behind him with a
resolution expressive of his desire to

Of the world and be alone-be left
entirely alone. By habit he climbed
the stairs to his room. He collapsed
into a chair.
