NIGHT OF PANIC
Continued from preceding page

first rush of horses took the two
figures out of Lorrence's sight;
they were prone when the
hoofs had passed them by.
DO have to hang here" the
Major thought, "and see them
crushed?" -. He got his boot
loose, and clambered to the
breadth of wall beside the fan
arch. A plunging gray galloped
beneath him, and there were
Others following.
Now came the rear guard, rank
on rank, shifting through their
course like centaurs in a miracu-
lous game, bawling their way
along a path that not even
Apocalyptic steeds could tread.
Lorrence's feet struck the ground.
HE CROSSED the slough: he lifted
Agnes first, because she was on
top. She was lying with one arm
across his fathers body. She
opened her eyes and spoke the
Majors name. She still squeezed
Dandy against her side and
would not let him loose, no mat
ter how he wriggled.
Hurry" Lorrence told his
father. There are hundreds more
about" The Senator was greasy
with mud when his son had
dragged him up. But no sharp
hoof had touched them.
She told her husband, later,
that when she reached the old
mans side, she could remember
only what Willis had told her
when he taught her to ride: that
she should lie as quietly as pos
sible - that her horse would not
step upon her if she did so.
And so this miracle of Street
came to pass; and after the Sena-
tor had been scrubbed clean by
his wife, and after he had drunk
several fingers of brandy, he
quoted the seventh verse of the
Ninety-first Psalm with an emo
ton seldom heard outside the
Senate.
When Agnes had bathed, the
Major went up to her room. He
found her in bed, with candles
close, and he sent old Sheila away,
as soon as she had brought the
hairbrush which her young mis-
tress requested.
"HEc just stopped in for a
moment, said the Major. The
fires burning low. Horses are
running, still, all over this end of
town; but the cavalry are round
ing them up"
And then he could say no more.
He marveled at the beauty of his
wife's hands as she piled the
brush with steady strokes against
her yellow hair. Not yet did he
dare to look into her eyes and see
the CLINT of high courage which
by her own command she had

and saw like a Gagged prisoner the
turbulence which ruled Street.
Windows were alight, and some
doors were open. The lamps and
candles flaming, encouraged by
the holocaust-and overhead, the
poisonous pink of the sky-these
made. Twenty-second and l
Streets vivid in unhealthy dawn
"a dawn which came at seven
o'clock in the evening.
An outlandish tribe staggered
and fought at the end of the
street. Another squad of horses
poured recklessly from the west,
leveling the barbery hedges.
Major Lorrence spoke a word;
he drove his body against the
gate bars. His father was COM
ing down the street. Somehow
the blind man had found his way
around the corner, before that
racking barrier of flesh and bone
blocked it. He was fumbling un-
certainly with his cane; his hat
had fallen off; but Dandy led him
still. straining in his harness.
No arms could wrench this gate
from its sockets. There were a
half-inch chain and a fiat pad
lock binding it tight. Willis be-
gan to climb. He shouted his
fathers name, and then clapped
his jaws shut, fearing lest his cry
should increase the Senator's be-
wilderment.
Wills had his hands on the top
round of the gate. Now he got
his feet up; but over the gate
was an enormous fan-arch of
wrought iron, with spikes that
drove into the air like fingers of a
spread hand. The Major sobbed.
and strove to reach the topmost
arc. He was spread-eagled above
the turmoil. Something had his
foot and was holding it tight.
He blinked loose the tears; now
he saw Blind Mike, and the man
was not alone. A woman had
come to his side. 1t was Agnes.
She wore the robe of Chinese silk
which Willis had ordered for her
Christmas present. He had never
seen her wearing it before =. he
thought, "IfI'd known that she'd
have to run in it, l wouldn't have
ordered it so full. ="
Destruction charged upon
them from the buckeye trees; in
a contemptuous kind of trance
she dragged the Senator aside,
and stood for a second looking
after the beast which had trod 80
close.
Get to the trees" Lorrence
heard his voice gasping. "Over
by the trees. Aggie! He felt the
bones of his foot bending and
yielding as he tried to twist his
boot from between metal claws.
Agnes had Dandy under her
arm. She held the Senator's el-
