"Well, go ahead, and hurry!" Larrysaid somewhat bitterly. It was hardto lose, when he had come so near towinning the game. " 'Tls not so pleas-ant standln' here waltln' for death ayou seem to think," he told Streetman,

But his enemy was not yet ready."No, yen ahull not die as a soldier,

"This Is a hell of a chance!" Larryretorted.

Something stayed Jeanne's handeven as it lingered-in the air. Perhapsshe quailed at the thought Of whatshe was about to do. Perhaps It wasthat she paused to gloat over her vic-tim. ~. .
