Chapter 30
THE guards stepped back and
L Williams moved slowly for
ward. His ~ IT dragged with every
step he took and Clay could see
the spasmodic twisting and
trembling of the muscles in his
bare back and shoulders. He
stopped beside the kettle and
looked down into it. his face
wiped clean of any trace of hu-
mainly, a strained, immobile
mask, bloodless, drained dry of
feeling, facing unspeakable agony
that must be. in final irony. self
inflicted, and, by that token. SO
much the worse both in anticipa-
ton and in actuality.
Suddenly, like a striking snake,
ne plunged his arm into the boil
ing water. and a gasp of mingled
pain and involuntary sympathy
swept like a gust of wind across
the tight-pressed mob of watch
ing men.
His head jerked back and the
tendons stood out on his throat
as the scalding water touched his
skin, but then the arm was out
again, extended straight out from
his side. as if he were trying to
free himself from its flaming pain
and the bar of metal was
clasped tight in his hand.
1t was no longer cherry red,
but as he held it there. the gray
steam that hung above his hand
darkened almost into smoke as
the fiery torture of the iron ate
into his skin and through his
flesh into the bone.
He had turned back toward the
gallery now. lurching forward
like a drunkard stumbling down
precipitous slope. His teeth
were barred in a snarl that was
more horrible than any beasts.
and his Sobbing breath sent cold
fingers of horror quivering down
Clay's spine.
Morgan was leaning forward,
his lips half open ne" his
breath ripping in ard out 6 his
chest, his eyes es ger ard ~
in their lusting tow this
ecstasy of pain. His body ocked
backward and forward s ,Atly
with each step Williams took, and
as the smell of scorched flesh
reached them, his tongue fiicked
out and ran greedily along the
twisting edges of his lips.
Williams was less than ten feet
away now, his knees buckling be-

bring the iron to me- he would
die. He failed, and he is dead. I
trust you are not unduIy ols-
turbed, Mr.. Logan"
Clay shook his head to clear his
mind, unable to believe that he
had actually witnessed the scene
of barbaric horror that had Just
been played in the dust before
him. The rage and the furious
protest against the cruelty and
Injustice of it was like a cord
around his throat. There was Q
duh throbbing in his brain and he
was straining against the men
who held him until every muscle
was tenSed into a rope of steel.
"You are not forgetting the
business that brought you here,
Mr.. Logan?"
There was a warning in the
voice; a warning that here, in his
own stronghold, no man alive
could hope to challenge Morgan
and escape. 'The business that
brought you here -" Yes, that
was more important, even though
to Morgan it meant a dream of
empire and to him it meant a
regiment of men depending on
him for their very lives.
Slowly Clay relaxed, letting his
arms go limp. letting the tense
ness go out Of his shoulders and
his thighs and the calves of his
legs. He nodded YEARLY, accept
ing again the responsibility that
OVERRIDE any personal hate or
rage or fury or desire.
II remember" he said slowly.
Il remember the business that
brought me here"
Morgan lifted his hand and he
felt the hard hands of the guards
fall away from his arms. Silently
he watched Morgan hoist himself
out of his chair and move slowly
toward the doorway, without as
much as a farewell glance at the
bloody figure sprawled on the
ground before the gallery.
Yes. he remembered-and he
would remember this, too. He
would remember it on the day
the regiment swept down on this
carrion nest of cruelty and sadism
and bestiality. He would remem-
Der II in the moment that his I'M
sheathed knife touched Morgan's
throat-and he would see that
Morgan remembered, too. Yes,
when that time came. he would
be very sure that Morgan re-
membered this nights work.

When the culprit is properly dead,
the contraption losses his body into
a pit in a position for any onlook-
ers to read the inscribed bloody
words. In ''the Judgeent'' young
merchant is led to disaster by his
humorIeSS worry about normal
relationship with his aging father.
In "The Trai" the luckless hero
is accused but doesn't exactly
know what constitutes his crime.
Even when he is condemned and
finally led to execution, he is still
vague about the reasons for the
whole business. And then there are
other stories permeated with the
same hopeleSsness. In 'InveStiga-
ton of a Dog" canine hero ex-
amines life, and in Kafka's famed
Great Wall of China" this forti-
fication is used to exc
bolically the very distant relation
ship of the average TO a
spiritual or temporal ruler.
Frank Kafka is an amazing ex-
perience both emotional and liter
airy. His prose is clear, and much
of it close to styliStic perfection
even in translation. And as Philip
Rahv points out in his introduction,
he is more than a neurotic artist.
He is also an artist of neurosis.
q. 4. he succeeds in objecting thru
imaginative means the states of
mind typical of neuroSis and hence
in Incorporating his private world
into the public world we live in"
But the German author is not
conducive to a cheerful evening.
JUNIOR SELECTION
(LINDA AND THE INDIANS. by

book, Macmillan Co, 81 pages, H.
lustrated by the author)
Linda, a small girl with long
dark hair, has a black and white
pony called Daisy
And with her small horse. the
heroine plays make believe games
about being a cowgirl or an Indian
named Little Moon. But Daisy is an
unimaginative beast. and sees only
chipmunks and fat old cows in the
meadow.
Then one day while Linda and
Daisy are out riding. they find
an Indian trail. They dig up
mound and discover arrowheads
under the stones. Again Daisy
isn't amused, because the arrow
heads are not edible.
But then on that same trail some
thing very real happens A fierce
dog on chain breaks loose and
comes after Linda and her pony
And what takes place after that
is the story.
This tale follows Photographic
realism in both It's story and illus
trstionS, as do the greatest nun.

meath him, the outstretched arm
sinking slowly to his side. AS they
watched, he summoned UP a f.
nal, desperate instant of strength
and threw himself forward to-
ward the chair where Morgan sat.
But the tendons that had held the
fingers clasped around the iron
bar were burned away. There was
no strength to hold it longer, no
llaiSon between the still un5eaten
brain and the broken tatters of
the flesh. H fell face foremost
almost at the foot of the steps.
