sides, he had recognized Swan as she flew
past, and yearned to overtake her and tear
her bodily from the arms Of the man who
had tricked him.
Rage over the trfcking wholly swallowed
up apprehension. He knew the chase led
him straight toward the confederate lines.
On, on, he rode, the wind singing In his
ears, his eyes fixed in straining gaze on

intended for his own.
