COTH SEES THE BLOODSTAIN ON
KERWIN'S TUNIC AND A CRUEL SMILE
TWISTS HIS BITTER MOUTH. HE STANDS
' BV HIS SHIELD, DARING HIS RIVAL TO
-MAKE THE CHALLENGE. VAL RIDES
OVER AND TOUCHES LANCE TO SHIELD.
TO ,
iF HIS OPPONENT OPTEN GRIPS HIS BLOODSTAINED ' .
TUNIC AND SEEMS TO SWAY IN HIS SADDLE, IT '
DOES NOT AFFECT HIS CHARGE; AND THREE TIMES .
COTH IS HURLED; TO THE GROUND ! -' e . .

BRUISED AND SHAKEN, COTH STAGGERS TO HIS FEET AND :r
DRAWS HIS SWORD. HIS ADVERSARY DISMOUNTS SLOWL'Sf
LEANS WEARILY AGAINST HIS SADDLE FOR A FLEET
ING MOMENT, THEN DRAWS AND STANDS FORTH. A .
COTH REGAINS HIS STRENGTH AS HE -.
FORCES HIS FOE EVER BACK. THEN
COMES DOUBT. HIS MOST SHREWD
OR POWERFUL STROKES ARE TURNED
ASIDE WITH EASE. IS HE LOSING
HIS SKILL?. -. v . -
NOW PEAR IS ADDED TO DOUBT. A
' FLASHING SWORD RAINS MIGHTY
BLOWS-FROM ALL DIRECTIONS,
NUMBING HIS SHIELD ARM, DENTING
HIS HELM. THE WEAKLING HE HOPED
TO KILL IS A MAN OF IRON ! .
VAL DOES NOT KILL COTH, BUT LEAVES HIM
SOBBING WITH. EXHAUSTION ON THE TRAM
PLED SWARD THEN, HOLDING HIS SIDE, HE
WALKS SLOWLY. TO THE TtN I Vt- KERWIN
