He started at the significance
of this, too surprised to reflect
that these were words any man

1t streamed upon his mind like

What a fool he was sitting here

The Man in Saddle

The Man In Saddle
Color of night was draining out
of the sky when the riders took
horses again at the foot of the
Sphinx. And the pulses of the
man too were at ebb. Memories
disappeared and appeared again
Son of the Wind as he had adj
vanced down the slope toward the
water, sides Of silk for knees that
dared to press them, head bent
waywardly sidewise, at play with
its own liberty, and the slow UNI
dulation of the name.
Once the eye had seen, the brain
seized It's object. Carron was in
saddle; and though fancy pictured
Son of the Wind in the citadel Of
the canyon, or speeding among
mountains beyond possible human
ways, the persistent phantom
would not be unseated.
They went in by the outside
stair. In his room objects were be-
ginning to show themselves. Last
night they had worn brocade of
white and black. Looking at them
he had thought OF Blanche. Now
he looked at her, and thought of
something else. He took her
wrists and laid her hands against
his shoulders. She leaned upon
him exhausted, looking up with
confident eyes.
"How did you find it?" he said.

and doubly large, being alone.
He began to advance down the
rocky floor at a gait little faster
than a walk. An undulating mo-
tion went through the whole body
as IL the hoofs trod air. The
name waved with 1t, the tail
drifted like plume. Carron
could see the quick ripple of mus
cles under the satin skin. That
was the back that had never felt

had never bent except at its own
will.
