Stand up and fight, oh coward"
Then suddenly, too late, he under
stood that here was ambush, here was
conspiracy grim and tragic, here was
trap baited by his own love and Hirfa,s
treachery-as, all at once, from every
where, the tribesmen came rushing,
bearing down upon him with cudgels
and stones, belaboring him, shouting:
Take this because you kissed my
wifel"
"And this because you embraced my
s~ister!" .
And this because you drank my
best wine!"
"And this one for your nose--because
I do not like its SHAPED"
Terek did all that a stout man could,
ringed by SO great a host. Planting
himself against a wall, he used fists
and feet and teeth, exclaiming that

to like long odds in love and strife.
Odds, though, too long.
The surged about him like hounds
pulling down a stag. There was a
crowded moment of ~snorting and tus-
selling and pushing and kicking; and
it might have been the bitter night
of grief for Terek Haydar if not just
then-since, let us repeat, there were
the strange quirks of a wild girls
heart-Hirfa had not cried:
"Ah! towards, towards! Fifty
against one!"
and, with the moon at that moment
coming from behind the cloudbank
Terek, looking up, saw her lift his
sword. She tossed it over to him with
all her young strength. 1t cut through
the air like a streak of silver. He
caught it-and out at the others with
a clatter of iron-a great below:
Come on, oh son of dogs! Wah-
come on and be stabbed, cut, spitted

dirt-fed hyenas!"
Years later Terek was heard to re-
mark that far indeed had he wandered
on the soles of his two feet, warning
his own and other mems wars for the
sport of it; but that the fight on thai
night was the one the memory Of
which he would hug to his heart a.

For that's what she did.

what is said and, If it appears to be

THE power of Silas Babson in

L having called upon Arson
Towle, who combined with
harness and saddlery and notary public
the duties Of local justice Of the peace,
he was informed that Bab5on had
sworn out a warrant charging Joe
Brainerd with assault and battery, ma
licious mischief and disturbing the
peace, and that bail had been set at
81 900 in each case.

Nate leaned across Towles desk.
Eyes, am. And what are you going
to do about It, you brainless inverte-

are you? The limit of bail to be set
in such cases is $500 on each charge.
Here's $500. and you take it and give
me an order on Bill Rooney to release
Joe Brainerd or I'll go over to the jail,
hog-tie Rooney and take Joe Brainerd

Probably no man in Forlorn Valley
knew less of the law than this village
justice of the peace; but he had heard
of the Hensley clan and here was the
last of that tribe of killers glazing at
him so ferociously his honor trembled.
