His enemy had relaxed his bear-like clasp. Gaston sprang to his feet to see his enemy falling backwards in a helpless collapse, the hilt of a dagger clasped between his knotted hands the sharp blade buried in his own heart. "He has killed himself!" cried Constanza, with eyes dilated with horror, as she sprang to Gaston's side.
As he said good-bye, he crushed Betty's hand in a bear-like grip that fairly brought tears to her eyes. "I'm awfully glad to have met you," he said, "though I don't suppose you'd ever guess it I'm such a duffer with girls. Eleanor told me how you stuck by her last year and helped her get her start.

Thereupon Maurice grappled him with a bear-like hug, and waltzed him out on deck, to the intense delight of Dixie, who seemed to think all this demonstration must be for his benefit, for he set up a furious barking and snapped at the heels of the dancing boys.

"What did you howl about, silly?" he asked affectionately.
He bent down and before the Breed was aware of his intention he seized him in his arms and picked him up much as he might have picked up some small child. Then the struggle began afresh. But it was hopeless from the outset. Louis Creal, unarmed, was powerless in the bear-like embrace of John Kars.
