had seen his chance, his rival senseleSs, the
white man exhausted, and rushed forward
but John sidestepped. easily avoiding the vicious
thrust. It grazed his body, and he drove q
short hook to the new adversarys mouth.
Horond fell back, and John followed him: fol-
lowed him to the very edge Of the cave lip,
drove a blow to his jaw again. HorOnd

The sound of his body crashing into the trees

The fury of the dancer as she stood poised
the brink of death one to strike awe
into any man, even one so lately engaged in
furious struggle for life.
She leaned toward him defiantly her lips
parted in what seemed almost Snarl, and her
tiny teeth flashing Despite his exhaustion,
Strang could not help thinking of a magnificent

81 am here here, Ben ALI"
There was fierce exultation in her voice. She
sped to the side of the cave and cried out:
Now I shall see two men fight for mel"
Peal upon peal of Laughter rang through the
cave
Fight! Fight, white giant! Fight, brown
giant! Fight. for Mamma is the prize. Now
shall see men fight for me-for mel"
She stood against the wall, painting, and both
men stopped, cycling one another.
John Strang watched the Arab youth closely,
he saw in time the hand dart from the folds of
the robe, and the flash of the knifeS blade He
lodged the throw, but stumbled as the Arab
rushed upon him. Next second they were
graphing.
The night and the hills and the cave were
very still beneath the serene moon. Her chin
cupped in her hands. the girl crouched, watch
ing, and in the middle of the cave the two men,
their sinews straining, their muscles taut were
locked in a death grip as they swayed back
wards and forwards
Ben Ali gradually gained a surfer hold about
Johns waist but John, one leg about the
Arabs, was forcing back his head, fighting to
release himself from that powerful hug Fur
ther and further he was able to force the Arabs
face away, until Ben Ali released his hold and
fell backward. John was drawn on top of
him. and they rolled upon the ground. He
eluded the Arabs sinewy hands, and staggered
back. His eyes were shining with fierce exul-
tation and he doubled his big fist as Ben Ali
rose slowly. John Strang leaped forward and
smashed his fists into the Arabs face and body.
Ben Ali crumpled up and lay still. In mo-
ment John Strang had his hands about his
throat.
yhe desperation of the encounter had driven
thought from Strang's mind, and he had be-
come like an animal fighting for its life. As
ais hands closed about the brown throat of Ben
Ali, the instinct to kill was strong within him,

him was very close to Pickering out. mo-
