" Your face is honest, if your heart is not, you Moslem devil ; for your ugly features will not lie though your tongue does. I would know that square jaw and red head equally well now, were it under the tiara of the pope instead of under the tur- ban ; and I would cut your throat if you carried St. Peter's key in your girdle ; you change-skinned lizard ! " " Who is he ? " cried the horsemen, gathering about. " Why ! the very knave who escaped us about sun- down yesterday, after spying our camp ...; and he has the impudence to ask us to take him prisoner that he may spy us again. " " Let us hamstring him ! " cried another, " and, unless St. Christopher has turned Moslem in para- dise and helps the rascal, he will find no legs to run away with again. " " Set him up for a mark when we halt, " proposed a third. " A ducat to him whose arrow can split his ear without tearing the cheek at forty paces ! " THE CAPTAIN OF THE JANIZARIES. 143 Constantine was helpless as they adjusted a halter about his neck, with which to lead him at the side of a horseman, the butt of tne scurrilous wit and sharper spear-points of his half mad and half merry captors.
