74 PEN SKETCHES Then enter the retiartii, who entangle their opponents in nets thrown with their left hand, defend- ing themselves with tridents in the right ; and other gladiators show their skill fighting unchained lions and tigers. Again the scene changes, and chariots drawn by spirited horses dash around the arena from opposite directions, and their drivers pinion their com- petitors with heavy lances. To stimulate the debauched thirst of the spectators, female gladiators now redden the san...ds of the arena with the life blood of their rivals ; and as the taste for blood becomes stronger, hun- dreds of gladiators fight at one time, until nearly all are lifeless or disabled. Then a hundred or more helpless and innocent Christian martyrs are thrust forward to be torn to pieces by wild beasts, or, by way of diversion, despatched with arrows. And so, in this gorgeous illumina- tion of red and green and purple, and the downpour ing of myriads of bright stars, we may see, in our mind's eye, new scenes of butchery go on and on and on, during the one hun- dred days of Roman blood drinking and blood feasting and blood gormandizing, until suddenly the bright illumination begins to fade the colors blend into in- definite hues then disappear altogether.
