Then, with the pole of the waterpail, I threw the dead dog acrossthe entrance upon the paving stones, for these vermin of plainsmen willnot pass where a dead dog lies, as my father knows well. They came notby the entrance, but they swarmed elsewhere, as ants swarm upon asandhill, upon the roofs, and at the little window where the lamp burns. "I drove them from the window and killed them through the doorway, butthey were forty to one. In the end the pest would have carried me todeath, as a jacka...l carries the broken meats to his den, if our hillsmenhad not come. For an hour I fought, and five of them I killed and sevenwounded, and then at the shouts of our hillsmen they fled at last. Nineof them fell by the hands of our people. Thrice was I wounded, but mywounds are no deeper than the scratches of a tiger's cub. " "Hadst thou fought for thyself the deed were good, " said Pango Dooni, "but thy blood was shed for another, and that is the pride of good men. We have true men here, but thou art a true chief and this shalt thouwear.
