grouchy. We suspected that he had
been out late the night before, and we
trod lightly and spoke gently. but in I
spite of our decent precautions he
snarled at us. We decided that It
would be better not to address him at

pushed two copper pennies across the
counter.
"Well, what do you 'want?' he
growled. looking at the coppers and

apple of pure gold. both set with dia

touch this apple was to dare death, it
being so arranged that one guilty of
such vandalism would be Immediately
riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
loopholes in the body of the statue.
Kenith was invited to come and in
spect the wonder, and, kinglike and
just as Fennella had hoped, he tried to
pluck the precious imitation fruit The
moment his hand touched the in
rusted jewel he was filled with pol
