present was all-glorious, and there would

locks flowed behind him on the wind like
tongues of yellow fame; and like northern
lights in blue northern sky, the leaders
fire flashed in his eyes. So Balder the Beau

So the brawny, sweating. hard-breathing

But what else he answered Randalin
never knew. Some unseen obstacle turned
in their direction the stream OF rushing
horsemen. In an instant the torrent had
caught them in its whirling eddies, and
they were many separate atoms borne
along on the flood. To hold back was to be
thrown down; to fall was to be trampled
into rags. The battle had changed into a

like a new world. If she could but work
her way to the edge of the herd she might
escape down one of those green aisies open
ing before them. II she only could. Every
fiber in her became intent upon 1t.
A little opening showed on her right.
Though she could not see the ground before
her, she took the risk and swung her horse
into the breach. His forefeet came down
upon the body of a fallen man, but 1t was
too late to draw back. Gripping her lip in
her teeth, she spurred him on. The man
turned over with yell, and used his ono
unbroken arm to thrust upward his broken
sword. The blade cut her leg to the bone,
and she shrieked with the pain; but her
startled horse had no thought of stopping.
Making his way with plunges and leaps, he
carried her out of the press sooner than
she could have guided him out. Once on
the edge. he broke into run. The agony
of the shaken wound was unbearable.
Shrieking and moaning. she twisted her
hands in the lines and tried to stop him.
But her strength was ebbing from her with
her blood BY and by she dropped the reig
