Dalston does not fire again. Both
hands are ON the reins, and ourbing his
horse, he turns back to where Blaine
lies insensble. He dlsmouuts and to the
great relief of the hundreds now rushing
up, they see Blaine stagger to his feet.
A second later and every man stands
rooted in black establishment.
The Zulu has risen again, and before
single note of warning is uttered, he is
astride the white horse, and flying like
the wind
Then perfect hurricane breaks forth
as every man shouts himself hoarse.
Dalston vaults into the saddle and starts
again in pursuit.
Away they fly over the gray country
and swiftly fade from sight.
At night Dalstou returns, leading his
charger, whose deep chest is white with
foam. and he himself bearing evidence
of his hard ride.
Where Is the Zulu?' he is asked.
He turns his black eyes on his ques-
toner's with a scowl, but says nothing,
from which they know that SIrayo has
escaped.
