And Caiaphas said, "Ha! thou that savest others, thyself thou canst not save." "Come down," cried one of the witnesses, "Art thou not the Son of God?" And Annas said, "He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him." Then cried the hangmen, "What! Don't you hear? Show thy power, mighty king of the Jews," and so the sport went on.
For this he selects Walt Wilder, who in turn chooses Nat Cully to assist him. The two assume superintendence of the ceremony, and the Ranger Captain retires from the ground. After communing for some seconds between themselves, and in sotto voce, as if arranging the mode of execution, Walt faces round to the assembled Texans, saying "Wal, boys, thar 'pears to be no stint o' hangmen among ye.
"Oh, but it is 'in your system' for all that," replied Helberson; "it needs only the right conditions what Shakespeare calls the 'confederate season' to manifest itself in some very disagreeable way that will open your eyes.

"Who are able to avenge us and who said at our departure: 'Should he not comply with all our orders, it would be far better that the girl should die, as Witold's children died. Choose!"

Soloviev stood a little while, slightly swaying. His eyes were like those of a martyr ... The mouth half-open, with mournful creases at the sides. "Go away! Go away!
