Near sunset, Theo Floyd was reluctantly
obeylng orders to retreat when his horse was
shot down under him, and he narrowly escaped
capture by slipping into the thick, skirting uu-
derwood. A few rods within n young federal
officer rose to sitting posture to face him, and
Floyd recognized at once the enemy with
whom he had exchanged shots on the Apeg-
non. Afiame with the defeat following the
hooking victory OF the morning, he Was about
TO start the man without allowing him to draw,
when tho latter sroaned and fell back. Theo,
ashamed, stopped to examine his wounds. and

had undertaken. for tho officer had strangely
forgotten to give the name OF his ''beautifui

his soul, for he had recognized with one wide
eyed, tortured gaze, the face of Lesley Linden.
