them. but the other two would be
certain to bury the heavy. razor-sharp
blades in him.
He could feel the pain-the nausea
of it.
And if he fled the noise Of his
feet would bring them all the more
swiftly on him.
He rose and drew back, little by
little. When he touched the wall
something went by him, breathing.
1t was barely audible, but the sound
could be heard, nevertheless. The
three of them had moved Slowly by.
1t was like magic; three huge men
could not pass in such a silence!
Loathing which was greater than
fear was driving him now. But he

built up of great thickness only for
some feet, after which lighter wall
went up to the roof. leaving a deep
shelf that ran all around the COM
partment.
"Now!" barked the voice of the
gray-head, and as the great door
closed, Montana looked behind him
and saw, as the light pinched out,
that the three were coming for him
in a rush, their bare feet whispering
on the stone floor.
He fled. The closing of the door
left him in utter darkness. Then he
turned and dropped to one knee, one
hand, with the machete poised over
his right shoulder.
But the whisper of the footballs did
not sweep straight up on him. They
paused, little to his left. Then
silence followed. He could see Moth

He reached behind him and gripped
the edge of the stone shelf above
him. He laid the machete on it,
stepped a pace away from it, then
freshened his grip on the ledge with
both hands.
Slowly-he must not make sound
he muscled himself up When his
shoulders were level with his hands
he swung a leg over the edge of the
shelf and stretched himself our prone.
There must be no sound, but his

seemed to be no oxygen in the hot,

breathing.
His whole body shook. The pangs

a pressure on his brain from their
approach.
Tiptoe, three cats in the dark, they
could hunt him by scent, perhaps.
They had looked near enough to the
beast for that!
The thick of the dark was weight,
a steady weight. And he felt his
eyeballs starting out of his head with
strain.
Then he remembered that his eyes
we're useless. He might as well close
his eyes, so he closed them. Sense
Of touch would have to serve him,
completely.
But in the meantime three stalk
