And Death and Vengeance close the ghastly band! CHAPTER VI THE END OF THE LABYRINTH “Is it anything to worry about when a horse breathes?” scoffed Gunnar Olsen. “He breathed like a bellows when I rode, but yet I took only eight minutes and four seconds.” “Yes, sir,—an engineer rather than anything else!”.
