you are 70 DO" he shouted above the
roar of the voices.
Once more Linbu felt the edge of
his kukri, but there was no smile on
hts face this time as he glanced at
Diana Lindsay.
Now the two gigantic men moved
toward each other. But a few yards
from Gray the Cobra bent down and
drove the stabbing point Of a long
knife into the floor of the arena. He
rubbed his great hands and forearuis
with sand

Il viii cut 1t OF thee-even though
the steel Is good STEEL"
And now they we're at It, two great
men stripped to the waist, facing each
other--half crouching, eyes watching
eyes, their left legs thrust backward,
buttress- wise.
Two pairs OF brown hands, with
tensely curved fingers, felt the air
warily as they CROPPED for q first hold
like men in a dark room cropping for
the knife hand of an assassin. Save
for this slow movement. the two adj
versaries might have been a group Of
bronze and marble statuary. Even
the shadows cast by their bulging
muscles moved not the fraction Of an
inch.
A sound like two whips being
cracked.
Gray's hands had Sr1aeked back
ward on the Cobra huge wrists, lock-
ing like steel bands.
With a savage grunt, the Cobra
gave a violent upward movement with
his arms, striving to throw of Collins
grip. And failed.
Gray's great muscles rippled and
tightened as ne tugged the hillman
toward him with short, quick pull.
He was trying for a cross-leg throw,
hoping that the mans great weight
would daze him In the fall.
But the Cobra. with $40 frontier
wrestling victories to his credit, was
too quick for him. Forcing his hands
outward, he drew Gray toward him
instead, and the soldier, to avoid his
arms being wrenched from their
sockets, was compelled to loose his
hold on his opponents wrists.
Then, with a dull thud, the two
mems arms clamped themselves about
each others bodies at waist level.
Gray. his head turned sideways to
avoid being blinded by the Cobra's
great beard, drove his left shoulder
hard under the enemy's arm pit.
And there, for what seemed In
terminable, slow-ticking minutes,
they stood-locked, their skins shin
ing with starting beads of perspi-
ration
