CHAPTER III.
KEEPING A PRISONER.

No more gullies thrust themselves
across the way, and she was within 20
feet of the wood. She took another hur-
ried look at me, and seeing my rapid
gain alarm appeared ON her face. She
drew a little toy pistol from the cloak
she wore and leveled it at me, or at
least that seemed to be her intention. l

grown soldier, would have felt deep
shame had ! been caught with such a
weapon in my possession. She pulled
the trigger, and the bullet cut the IN
complaining air somewhere, but not in
my neighborhood This bombardment
cost her at least 90 feet of gain, but she
thrust the terrible weapon back in her
cloak and galloped on, with Old Put
laundering at her heels. Then she was
into the wood, and / was not far be-
hind, shouting to her Il stop; that l
would surely overtake her and she was
merely wasting the breath of both our
horses and our own Still she paid no
heed. guiding her horse between the
trees and through the bushes with cC4
siderable skill
But, seeing the wood thicken pres

obvious now that the end of the race
had come and / was the winner. The
wood became so dense, the bushes clus-
tering in thickets and the vines inter
lacing from tree to tree, that it formed
an impenetrable wall What l had fear
ed would help her had been my best
ally.
She stopped short and sat stiffiy on
her horse, her back turned to me. l
wondered if she would draw out that
amazing pistol again and threaten me
with it. but she made no such attempt,
evidently having arrived at wisdom at
last. She dropped the stump Of her
switch on the ground and kept the back
of her head toward me. Some beams of
sunshine came through the tall trees
and cleaned across the long curls of
tawny gold, tingeing them for the mo,
ment as if with fire.
