"What good will money be to him if he's stood up against one o' them dough walls and shot at by a lot of slantindicular-eyed heathen?" "Hoo!" shouted Marty.

"I had my reasons good 'uns. Now, look here, we're going to watch that door awhile. If the Jap comes out as I've an idea he will we're going to follow.
Fear of devils in the home, lurking in the shadows of night and in the light of day; lurking in the bodies of babies; devils everywhere always. These are the Flash-lights of Fear! And like unto them are the pictures of Frightfulness which I have set down in the next chapter. "The Jap is the slant-eyed Hun of the Orient.
"I'll put no trust in any slant-eyed, yellow-skinned rice-eater," he announced emphatically. "They're against us, race an' religion. They want California, or rather, the Pacific coast, an' they think they're goin' to git it. They're no more akin to us than a snake is a cousin to an eel.

In his day Uncle Tobe hanged all sorts and conditions of men men who kept on vainly hoping against hope for an eleventh-hour reprieve long after the last chance of reprieve had vanished, and who on the gallows begged piteously for five minutes, for two minutes, for one minute more of precious grace; negroes gone drunk on religious exhortation who died in a frenzy, sure of salvation, and shouting out halleluiahs; Indians upborne and stayed by a racial stoicism; Chinamen casting stolid, slant-eyed glances over the rim of the void before them and filled with the calmness of the fatalist who believes that whatever is to be, is to be; white men upon whom at the last, when all prospect of intervention was gone, a mental numbness mercifully descended with the result that they came to the rope's embrace like men in a walking coma, with glazed, unseeing eyes, and dragging feet; other white men who summoned up a mockery of bravado and uttered poor jests from between lips drawn back in defiant sneering as they gave themselves over to the hangman, so that only Uncle Tobe, feeling their flesh crawling under their grave-clothes as he tied them up, knew a hideous terror berode their bodies.
Now instead of rice sacks and bales of merchandise we carry human freight slant-eyed, pig-tailed Chinamen bound for the gold fields of Australia."

But his companion stalked on in silence, like a man who saw a pattern in the web of things, and was not pleased. Night, in that maze of alleys, was but a more sinister day. The same slant-eyed men, in broken files, went scuffing over filthy stone, like wanderers lost in a tunnel. The same inexplicable noises endured, the same smells.
Half an hour later a picquet of slant-eyed men lying on the steep slopes of the hill below the Fort saw above them a man's figure dark against the paling stars.
