But I warn you, from this day do not ride south!" Menlik turned, the charms on his belt clicking. "So that is the way it is to be, Apache?" "That is the way it shall be, Tatar! We do not ride to war with allies who may turn their knives against our backs because they are slaves to a machine the enemy controls." The Tatar's long, slender-fingered hands opened and closed.
"We have now seen this machine at work. It is fortunate that the Red is dead. He will carry no tales of us back to his people as you feared. Thus, if we remain south from now on, we are safe. And this fight between Tatar and Red is none of ours. What do you seek here?" "I must go again to the place of the towers," Travis answered with the truth.
The case is different with the Tatar hordes from Central Asia, who fight only for plunder, and in a crisis are often utterly unreliable. At this time both Cossacks and Tatars were in the field, the former in considerable numbers.
The Apaches settled back in the cup, which gave them a wide view over the plains. Soon it was not necessary to use the glasses in order to sight the advancing party of hunters five riders, four wearing Tatar dress. The fifth had such an odd outline that Travis was reminded of Menlik's sketch of the alien.
I am supposed to be a Tatar prince, by birth, that is; but in truth the only claim I have to either the race or the title is, that I am very ugly. God could have made an uglier man than I am, because He is omnipotent, but I am sure He never did. I accept my ugliness.
A great historical novel dealing with this time, one not unworthy, it is said, of Scott, remains to be translated. Then, early in the fourth century, China split up again: crafty ladylike Chinese houses ruling in the South; and in the north a wild medley of dynasties, Turkish, Tungus, Tatar, and Tibetan, even some relics of the Huns: sometimes one at a time, sometimes half a dozen all together.
The name by which they called themselves was Tatar; but Europeans changed it to Tartar, from the Latin word Tartarus, which means "hell." This gives us some idea of the impression these fierce people made on mediæval Europe an impression which is kept in memory by the present humorous use of the word.
As we were exploring the Tatar shops at noon, we heard the muezzin calling to prayer from the minaret of the mosque close by, and we set off to attend the service. If we had only happened to have on our galoshes, we might have complied with etiquette by removing them, I suppose, and could have entered in our shoes.
The derelict spaceship as he had first found it the dead alien officer had still been seated at its controls! The alien who had set the tape which took them out into that forgotten empire he was the subject of Menlik's drawing! "Where? When did you see such a one?" The Apache bent down over the Tatar. Menlik looked troubled. "He came into my mind when I walked the valley.
Now, she was a great actress, and I was a Tatar prince in command of Count Saxe's body-guard. She had graciously remembered our early acquaintance when Count Saxe took me to her house for he took me everywhere he went and she treated me with the greatest kindness always; for which I love and thank her forever.
