He set his whistle to his lips, and as I stood there, thunderstruck and helpless, the shrill call rang out: "Forward! Hark-away!" Instantly our entire party leaped forward; the Indians vanished; and we ran on headlong, pell-mell, hellward into the trap prepared for our destruction. The explosion of a heavy rifle on our right was what first halted us, I think.
"I've got all that's c-coming to me," he said hoarsely; "I'm all in all in! God! but I've got the jumps this trip. You'll stand for this, won't you, Plank? I was batty, but I woke up in time to grasp the live wire Billy Fleetwood held three shocks in succession and his were queens full to my jacks aces to kings twice! Alderdene and Voucher sitting in until they'd started me off hiking hellward!"
All the same, I missed her; and it was another kick down Hellward for me when she went. I got desperate then; I took to drink worse than ever, and I began to let my business go and speculate.

"Yes, Friends," elsewhere observes the Professor, "not our Logical, Mensurative faculty, but our Imaginative one is King over us; I might say, Priest and Prophet to lead us heavenward; or Magician and Wizard to lead us hellward. Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of?
Our compound life makes many compromises, whereby our progress, whether heavenward or hellward, is made slow and sure! Here, or hereabouts, Balder lost his way.
