Von Mahl had courage an airman can not be denied that quality whatever his nationality may be but it was a mechanical valor based upon an honest belief in the superiority of the average German over all friends or rivals.
There he holds his mahl and judges the crimes committed on his domains. In a corner of the room a stove, a rack and pincers are seen no justice without torture and execution. In yonder opposite corner and even with the floor is a wide tank full of water and deep enough for a man to drown in. Near the tank lie nine plow-shares.
"Accordingly your mahl is to be convened within two hours in order to proceed to the trial." "Within two hours it will be in session." "Adieu, Neroweg, count of the city of Clermont but duke to be of Touraine, and one of the richest and most powerful seigneurs, made such by the friendship of Chram, King of all Gaul, after the death of his father and all his brothers! Adieu!"
"What happens to-morrow, Herr Englishman?" "I beg your pardon," said Craig politely; "I'm afraid I can not tell you it would not be fair to Tam." And von Mahl went out in a sweat of fear. From somewhere overhead came a sound like a snarl of a buzz-saw as it bites into hard wood.
Twelve well rounded oaken beams support the portico; it leads directly into the mahl, as these barbarous chiefs style the tribunal where they dispense their seigniorial justice a vast, spacious hall, in the rear of which, and raised on a platform, is the seat of the count, and the benches of the leudes who assist him in the ceremony.
A few feet from the ground he flattened and, running in the opposite direction to that which the train was taking, he loosed a torrent of fire into the side of the carriages. Von Mahl, looking from the window of a first-class carriage, saw in a flash the machine and its pilot then the windows splintered to a thousand pieces and he dropped white and palpitating to the floor.
"You are right his cupidity will drive him to the deed and insure his return. But how is his flight to be connived at?" "You can convene your mahl within two hours. The culprits can be tried and sentenced at one session." "Yes, that can all be done." "To-day the trial and sentence to-morrow the execution. Between now and to-morrow we have the night left.
He went to the blinds and began to pull them down. They were made of blue holland with the rollers at the bottom of the window, so that you pull them down to get more light. He gathered his palette, brushes, and mahl stick from his table. Then he turned to the picture and put a speck of brown in the corner of the mouth; and shifted his attention thence to the pupil of the eye.
"Before I hand you over to the wild men of the Royal Naval Air Service, who, I understand, eat little things like you on toast, would you like to make any statement which will save you from the ignominious end which awaits all enterprising young heroes who come camouflaging as enterprising young Britons?" Von Mahl hesitated.
"A warning to me to leave Mahl to fight his own quarrels," he said as he limped from the car which had been sent to bring him in. There comes to every man to whom has been interpreted the meaning of fear a moment of exquisite doubt in his own courage, a bewildering collapse of faith that begins in uneasy fears and ends in blind panic.
