Although Tarog would not learn the convention's secrets as quickly as the rest of Mars, or Earth, Tarog would learn. Wasil threw over the links and clamped down the bolts with a grunt of satisfaction. When a man is about to die, he wants to do his last job well. Suddenly a red light glowed, and a voice spoke. "Special broadcast. Tarog circuit only!"
Moreover, it was sure, provided it succeeded. Its execution was something else again. Its chances were, mathematically expressed, about as follows: If every single detail worked as expected, a great and smashing success. Ratio: 1:1,000. If one single detail failed, immediate and certain death for Wasil. Ratio: 1,000:1.
This gorge, marked by the Jebel Wasil, a round head to the north, is a commonplace affair of trap and white clay; broad, rough, and unpicturesque. The sole shows many piles of dry stone, ruins of "boxes," in which the travelling Arab passes the night, whilst his camels are tethered outside. The watercourse heads in a Khuraytah, the usual rock-ladder; we reached it after eleven miles' riding.
Sira, hurrying home to an inexpensive lodging house, thought: "Three days from to-day! I have done what I could. The hopes of the solar system now rest with Wasil. I am only a helpless spectator." Tarog awaited the conference on the morrow bedecked like a bride. The Martian flag, orange and green, fluttered everywhere.
Having thus established himself, he left Wasil in charge, explaining to him the prices that he was to ask for each of the articles sold, and then started on a tour through the camp.
At the turn of the dial the air was filled with throbbing martial music, and the expert noted with contemptuous satisfaction that the needle now stood even higher than before. Sira, caught like all the rest of the people in that stirring flood of music, felt her own pulse leap. But she thought: "This is the day! Wasil, could I only be with you!"
The excitement of the day, coupled with the fact that nearly everyone carried arms, had led to numerous fights, not a few of which ended fatally. "Merclite!" grinned the policeman, suppressing a hiccup of his own. "And besides, that big 'un would make two of me." One Thousand to One The scheme that Sira had imparted to Wasil was simple simple and direct.
Balloba has seen me at Poona, and it is likely enough that, as he thinks it over, he will remember that it was in a dress altogether different from this. Go at once to Sufder. If you get there before me, tell him to mount at once, and ride fast to meet me." Two minutes later, everything was prepared; and Wasil, mounting the pony, rode off, while Harry moved away among the tents.
Russia also produced an excellent violinist, Wasil Wasilewic Besekirskij, who was born at Moscow, and after a career as virtuoso in the west of Europe returned to his native city. He is the composer of some good violin music and has formed some excellent pupils, of whom Gregorowitsch is perhaps best known. In England, John Tiplady Carrodus and the Holmes brothers attained high rank.
Conventions, empty politeness, would be forgotten. Sharp tirades, biting facts, threats, veiled and open, would pass across the table between these masters of money and men. But this time they would be pitilessly bared to the worlds! Feverishly, Wasil inspected the repeater. It was a little-used device that would, an hour or two later, as desired, give out the words and pictures fed into it.
