Fastened to the center of this was a handsome black plush case, in which lay a gold wedding-ring. Lylda drew in her breath sharply and held it; the three other men stared at the ring in amazement. The Chemist was saying: "And I decided not to destroy it, Lylda, for your sake. There is no air under this glass cover; the ring is lying in a vacuum, so that nothing can come out of it and live.
The Doctor put in: "It's a serious situation most serious." "There's only one thing we can do," the Big Business Man added quickly. "We must find Jack and your sister," he addressed Lylda, whose eyes had never left his face, "and then get out of this world as quickly as we can before we do it any more harm." The Chemist began pacing up and down the strip of the beach.
He saw her eyes grow wider. "Very strange you talk, my husband. There is something " "There is something, Lylda. To-day you have seen strife, anger, hate and and death. You have met them all calmly; you have fought them all justly, like a woman a brave, honest Oroid woman, who can wrong no one. There is something now that I must tell you." He saw the growing fear in her eyes and hurried on.
For perhaps ten minutes no one spoke except an occasional monosyllable. The Chemist and Big Business Man, walking abreast, were leading; Aura and Lylda with the Very Young man, and Loto close in front of them, brought up the rear.
"Each city controls a certain amount of the land around it. "This congress of one hundred and fifty is the law-making body. The judiciary is composed of one court in each city. There is a leader of the court, or judge, and a jury of forty twenty men and twenty women. The juries are chosen for continuous service for a period of five years. Lylda is at present serving in the Arite court.
They seemed very small and fragile, as he towered over them, looking down at them sneeringly. The man and woman conferred a moment in whispers. Then the woman spoke. She talked only a few minutes, interrupted twice by the judge, once by a question from Lylda, and once by the accused himself. Then for perhaps ten minutes more her companion addressed the court.
Alone I must do this. Ah, do you not know they say these stranger devils with their magic come for evil? And you too, must you not forget, once were a stranger just as they. That the people know that they remember. "But I I Lylda a woman of the Oroids I am full-blooded Oroid, no stranger. And they will believe me a woman for they know I cannot lie.
"And Lylda?" The Chemist recounted briefly the events of the day. "We can only wait until Lylda returns," he finished. "To-morrow we will talk with the king." "Bad it is," said the old man slowly; "very bad. But we shall see " The Very Young Man had risen to his feet and was standing beside the clock. "How does it work?" he asked. "What time is it now?" Reoh appealed to his son-in-law.
"In close contact with these people I soon found I was stronger than they, and for a time I had no difficulty in shoving them aside and opening a path for us. They took my rough handling in all good part, in fact, never have I met a more even-tempered, good-natured people than these. "After a time the crowd became so dense we could advance no further. At this Lylda signed me to bear to the side.
And then abruptly she sank to her knees and began softly sobbing. Loto called from upstairs and they heard him coming down. Lylda went back hastily to the fire; the Chemist pushed a large chair in front of the pedestal, hiding it from sight. The boy, in his night clothes, stood on the hearth beside his mother. "There is the stocking, mamita. Where shall I hang it?" "First the prayer, Loto.
