CHAPTER XXXIX. The man-eater was the seventh and last of the bad things to be destroyed by Kŭt-o-yĭs´. "She looked awfully cut up, poor little thing," says Jack, kindly. "You were the only one she opened her mind to, Nick What did she say? Did she betray the ravings of a lunatic or the inanities of a fool?".
