Light your cigarette — light it!— Damnation!” Heedless of Blake’s warning cry Winthrope had struck his last vesta and now angry and bewildered he stood staring while the little taper burned itself out With an oath Blake sprang to catch it as it dropped from between Winthrope's fingers But he was too far away It fell among the and flared damp rushes spluttered out For a moment Blake knelt staring at the rushes as though stupefied then he sprang up beford Winthrope his bronzed face purple with anger "Where’s your matchbox? Got any more?” he demanded "Last one I fancy — yes last one and there are still two cigarettes But look here Blake I can't tolerate your talking so deucedly — ” "You idiot! you — you — Hell! and every one for cigarettes!” From a growl Blake’s voice burst into a roar of fury and sprang upon His Winthrope like a wild beast hands closed upon the Englishman’s throat and he began to shake him about paying no heed to the blows his victim showered upon his face and body blows which soon began to lessen In force Miss Leslie put her hands over her eyes and began to scream — the piercing shriek that will unnerve the strongest man Blake paused as though transfixed and as the Englishman struggled in his grasp he flung him on the ground and turned to the screamiftg girl "Stop that squawking!” he said The "So that’s better girl cowed down Next time keep your mouth shut” “You — you brute!” “Good!
