Ins skinny bare legs were alto
lashed'togetller and placed over a log
so that the bony feet projected high
in,the air. It tvas at this extremity
of their victim's body thatthe two
Italians were • 'standing, Pasgtrale
keeping up a running conversation in
some . uncouth Portuguese or • Indian
dialect, Detto holding in his one good
nim a stick with a'giowing emper.at
the end which he had drawn from the
fire blazing' a few feet 'away.
He gazed at the prostrate Indian
a moment, grunted, then pressed the
red= ember .against the iictilll's sole.
Though the Indian was boend•'as in•a
vise, the horror-struck,old mein could,
see his lean body qtliver with 'agony;
the shirt over his mouth twitched con
vnl`sively: as he vainly tried to express
that, agony in a cry. After leaving
the ember againet•t1 a other foot for

it arid put ii back into the flame to be
reheated. Then he ienkaved the gag,
and with his hand at the other's
mouth ready to checl, anv Call for

questions at hint ,
The Indian's answers Were evident
ly not satisfactory. for • after sever.all
with, his bleeding hand cut the • 'In-

aid' kit and put some salve' on the abor=t
igine's burned -S e; "then , rooked .at his;
own arm. Theblood was coursing'
faster;
• "You're wounded, er ,' .. 'badly,"
the Old Tian panted alarm.. "It's

I' hadn't cried ant. he 'wouldn't have
seen us. 'm ' a. doddering....
fool•., . yes • old, foal.",
Vilak 'cooly whipped his brilliant';
necktie from hiS collar. "it wasn't
your fault, any More than it was My
carelessness.' Don't' pay any attention:
to 'rife.:` I'll ;make a •tourniquet and
stop it in • a h.urry. .You look after
that poor devil there. Put some more
of that salve on his feet."
He knottd the necktie, quickly .round
hiss arm and with a lead pencil. 'tight,;
ened it to that it cut deeply into ;his
flesh. Theflow of blood. .perceptibly
slackened. . Then be 'took out a sealed
tube of iodine and, breaking it . open,
spilled, the, contents over :the .wound -
"May. not be necessary," he said: "But

tion for 'Detto's•personal habits, This
poor devil'is'fortunate in•that-he does

The fire's perfect for that."
With his goad hand he aided the .old
man in applying the salve to the sear-
ed places of the other's foot: The labor
caused his' arm to breed again. He
wrapped it: tighly with a' bandage.
Satisfied that it would bleed no longer,
he stooped once more and began lift-
