"It is a strange request," said the keeper, "but for my friend O-Zar I would do even more, though of course " he hesitated "it is customary for one who would be chief to make some slight payment." "Certainly," Turan hastened to assure him; "I had not forgotten that. I was about to ask you what the customary amount is."

"Your name?" asked a clerk as Turan presented himself. "U-Kal," replied the panthan. "Your city?" "Manataj." The keeper, who was standing beside the clerk, looked at Turan. "You have come a great way to play at jetan," he said. "It is seldom that the men of Manataj attend other than the decennial games. Tell me of O-Zar! Will he attend next year? Ah, but he was a noble fighter.

"And you will chance incurring the wrath of O-Tar, who has no love for this savage barbarian," explained the keeper. "And I win her O-Tar will be rid of her," said Turan. The keeper of The Towers of Jetan shook his head. "You are rash," he said. "I would that I might dissuade the friend of my friend O-Zar from such madness." "Would you favor the friend of O-Zar?" asked Turan.

If you be half the swordsman, U-Kal, the fame of Manataj will increase this day. But tell me, what of O-Zar?" "He is well," replied Turan, glibly, "and he sent greetings to his friends in Manator." "Good!" exclaimed the keeper, "and now in what game would you enter?" "I would play for the Heliumetic princess, Tara," replied Turan.
