10 |

Philemon indicated the board, and the young man went to it and took a chair, Cernus' own, surrendered eagerly by him, at the table. |
10 |

The boy turned the board irritably about, taking red. |
10 |

10 |

After Hup's second move Scormus of Ar had looked for a long time at the board, and then at Hup, who was devouring his pastry. |
10 |
| 20 | 426 |
Philemon suggested three or four counters to the position now on the board. |
10 |
| 20 | 433 |
Hup obediently started shoving the red pieces about the board. |
10 |

10 |
| 20 | 437 |
Scormus was looking at the board. |
10 |
| 20 | 441 |
Hup, who was waddling about the walls, was then summoned again to the board and he hastily picked up a piece and dropped it tottering to a square, and went back to the walls. |
10 |
| 20 | 450 |
Philemon looked as though he might choose to reply, but thought the better of it, and glared angrily at the board. |

"My Ubar jests," said Scormus of Ar, studying the board. |
10 |

Scormus would study the board and move a piece. |
10 |
| 20 | 477 |
Hup would come from somewhere in the hall, rolling, skipping or bounding, sniffing, gurgling, glance at the board, cry out, and poke a piece about. |
10 |
| 20 | 478 |
And then Scormus would again, head in hands, face not moving, study the board once more. |

10 |

"I have moved Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four! What will you do now?" Hup returned to the table and, scarcely glancing at the board, picked up a piece and dropped it on a square. |
10 |
| 20 | 542 |
I counted the moves, eleven of them, and, on the eleventh, Cernus cried out with rage and dashed the board and its pieces from the table. |

In this fashion each square of the board, with its name, such as "Ubar Five," and so on, would correspond to a letter, and some spaces, of course, would correspond to the same letter, thus providing cipher multiples. |
