The youth, who evidently understood English, added something else in his own language. "He says Targo vowed death to all who have the magic power. He spoke in the city just now, and promised them deliverance from the giants." "Good Lord," murmured the Very Young Man. "He has gone to Orlog probably," the Chemist continued. "We have nothing to fear for the moment.
I can, because I am a woman, and they will know I tell the truth. Ah, you will let me try, my husband please?" The Chemist appealed to the others. "They will believe her, many of them," he said. "They will leave Orlog as she directs. But those in other cities will still hold to Targo, they will simply remain silent for a time. What their feelings will be or are we cannot tell.
Their followers are all the more unintelligent, more gullible individuals, or those in whom there lies a latent criminal streak. "The thing doesn't work. Sexual license is growing in Orlog. Crimes against women are becoming more and more frequent. Offences committed by those prominent, or in authority, go unpunished.
"Loto, to-day this afternoon " The woman gave a little, low cry of anguish, instantly repressed. Her hand gripped his tightly. "No, no, Lylda, not that," he said quickly, "but this afternoon while we were all away Loto was here alone with Eena Targo with his men came. They did not hurt Loto; they took him away in a boat to Orlog." He stopped abruptly. Lylda's eyes never left his face.
Aura's tunic was too short to impede her swimming and when the Very Young Man was ready, they waded out into the water together. They found the lake no deeper than to Aura's shoulders, but as it was easier to swim than to wade, they began swimming away from shore towards the farthest boat that evidently was headed for Orlog.
He seemed to be able to make out the city of Orlog now. It was smaller than Arite, and lay partially behind a hill, with most of its houses strung along the lake shore. If only they were not so tall they could not be seen so readily. But if they became smaller it would take them much longer to get there.
"I don't know the way to Orlog; you do?" he asked abruptly. "Oh yes, I know it well." "We will go to Orlog, you and I now, and rescue Loto. You will not be afraid?" The girl's eyes looked into his with a clear, steady gaze. The Very Young Man stared down into their depths with his heart pounding. "I shall not be afraid with you," said the girl softly. The Very Young Man drew a long breath.
Behind them, hardly more than a mile away, according to their present stature they had stopped growing entirely now lay the city of Arite. They could see completely across it and out into the country beyond. The lake, with whose shore they had been running parallel, was much closer to them. Ahead, up near the rim of the horizon, lay a black smudge. Aura pointed. "Orlog is there," she said.
Lylda had left the city; the last they had seen of her, she was striding rapidly away, over the country towards Orlog. The street and field before the house now was nearly deserted. "She had to do it, of course," the Chemist continued, "but to kill Targo's brother " "I wonder," began the Big Business Man thoughtfully. "It seems to me this disturbance is becoming far more serious than we think.
He must have come back just as they were killing Reoh." "There wasn't much time," the Doctor said. "He was back here in ten minutes. But they've got him you're right or he would have been back with us before this." "They'll take him and the girl to Orlog. They won't hurt them because they " The Big Business Man stopped abruptly; his face went white. "Good God, Frank, do you realize?
