"Take me to them"
We gathered up our belongings, and,
hastily dressing. led the way back to
the hut. My reflections were none of
the most cheerful. We all knew de
Rome, and knew that, his mind once
made up, nothing could turn him. De
Gomeron had some chance of escape,
as l was the open aggressor. But we
had no great time for thought, as few
steps brought us to the door of the hut.

on to the outposts. lettering my horse
to stump, removed the saddle, which
I made shift to use as a cushion, and.
leaning my back against it, was soon
as comfortable as circumstances would
permit. My sleep could not have lasted
much more than an hour; but so pro-
found was it that ages seemed to have
passed when I awoke with a start, and
the consciousness of movement around
me. The moon was on the wane; but
saw that the camp was astir. and that
the men were being mustered as silent
ly as possible.

said to myself, recalling de Rone's
words. and, hastily saddling my horse,
sprang on his back. and moved towards
the generals tent. All around me was
the muffled tramp of feet, the jingle OF
chain bits and steel scabbards, the
plunging of impatient horses, and q
subdued hum of voices. above which
rose now and again hoarse word OF
command, as regiment after regiment
wheeled into position on the level
stretch before us.
