The dancing was in full swing when the deputy entered; scores of lithe dark men and their black-eyed partners were whirling in the fervid Spanish waltz; but as he crossed the threshold a discordant note arose: disturbance broke out in a corner of the hall; a woman screamed; a knife-blade flashed.
As he lies there sprawling on his six spider-like legs, we may now easily test the skill of his trap, and gain some idea of his voracious personality. If with the point of our knife-blade, holding it in the direction of the insect's body, we now touch its tail, what a display of vehement acrobatics!
But an incalculable force lifted her up from her knees. "Ah!" she gasped, as she saw him with cleared sight. A knife-blade was at her heart. Kurt Dorn lay before her gaze a man, and not the boy she had sacrificed to war a man by a larger frame, and by older features, and by a change difficult to grasp.
And so, climbing steadily and in comparative silence, these two, whose hearts were strong, came at last to the top of False Ridge a thin knife-blade of stone and looked abruptly and suddenly down on the other side. With a little gasp Tharon put a hand to her throat, for there, an unbelievably short distance down, lay the Cup o' God, without a doubt.
This was done by moving the white paper until the knife-blade cross showed through the center of the hole the bullet had made in it. The paper in this position was retacked upon the board, and underneath was slipped a second piece of paper making the paper target appear as if no hole had been torn through it. The bull's-eye so located was usually within a half-inch radius of the triangle tip.
In Vienna, imbedded bullets are being photographed, instead of being probed for, and extracted with comparative ease. In London, a wounded sailor, completely paralyzed, whose injury was a mystery, has been saved by the photographing of an object imbedded in the spine, which, upon extraction, proved to be a small knife-blade.
Surely the priest has suffered for the sake of Christ, regarding whom you speak so freely. So have done with dogma, and play the man a while press here with your strength on this knife-blade until I bend back the metal and set him free."
It followed precisely the same course as its predecessor, but when it came to the knife-blade of the bridge it vanished. "I am sorry for that stone," thought Otter, "for doubtless it, that has been whole for many years, is at this moment only little pieces." A third time he repeated his experiment, choosing the heaviest rock that he could move.
Ducat, short and fat, with a pale face and scanty hair; Cabasse short and lean, with a black face and a long nose not much thicker than a knife-blade. Meantime Maurice had stepped up and taken a closer look at the sergeant; he finally asked him: "Tell me, are you not Guillaume Sambuc, of Remilly?"
Her arms, not fat but dimpled, were graced by deep ruffles to her sleeves. She was like a luscious fruit coquettishly served in a handsome dish, and making the knife-blade long to be cutting it. "Valerie," the Brazilian was saying in her ear, "I have come back faithful to you. My uncle is dead; I am twice as rich as I was when I went away. I mean to live and die in Paris, for you and with you."
