Maurice
,
continuing
his
gallop
,
came
up
with
it
in
the
middle
of
a
meadow-like
glade
--
standing
motionless
as
marble
--
its
rider
,
reins
in
hand
,
sitting
silent
in
the
saddle
,
in
an
attitude
of
easy
elegance
,
as
if
waiting
for
him
to
ride
up
!
"
Miss
Poindexter
!
"
he
gasped
out
,
as
he
spurred
his
steed
within
speaking
distance
:
"
I
am
glad
that
you
have
recovered
command
of
that
wild
creature
.
I
was
beginning
to
be
alarmed
about
--
"
"
About
what
,
sir
?
"
was
the
question
that
startled
the
mustanger
.
"
Your
safety
--
of
course
,
"
he
replied
,
somewhat
stammeringly
.
"
Oh
,
thank
you
,
Mr
Gerald
;
but
I
was
not
aware
of
having
been
in
any
danger
.
Was
I
really
so
?
"
"
Any
danger
!
"
echoed
the
Irishman
,
with
increased
astonishment
.
"
On
the
back
of
a
runaway
mustang
--
in
the
middle
of
a
pathless
prairie
!
"
"
And
what
of
that
?
The
thing
could
n't
throw
me
.
I
'm
too
clever
in
the
saddle
,
sir
.
"
"
I
know
it
,
madame
;
but
that
accomplishment
would
have
availed
you
very
little
had
you
lost
yourself
,
a
thing
you
were
like
enough
to
have
done
among
these
chapparal
copses
,
where
the
oldest
Texan
can
scarce
find
his
way
.
"
"
Oh
--
lost
myself
!
That
was
the
danger
to
be
dreaded
?
"
"
There
are
others
,
besides
.
Suppose
you
had
fallen
in
with
--
"
"
Indians
!
"
interrupted
the
lady
,
without
waiting
for
the
mustanger
to
finish
his
hypothetical
speech
.
"
And
if
I
had
,
what
would
it
have
mattered
?
Are
not
the
Comanches
en
paz
at
present
?
Surely
they
would
n't
have
molested
me
,
gallant
fellows
as
they
are
?
So
the
major
told
us
,
as
we
came
along
.
'
Pon
my
word
,
sir
,
I
should
seek
,
rather
than
shun
,
such
an
encounter
.
I
wish
to
see
the
noble
savage
on
his
native
prairie
,
and
on
horseback
;
not
,
as
I
've
hitherto
beheld
him
,
reeling
around
the
settlements
in
a
state
of
debasement
from
too
freely
partaking
of
our
fire-water
.
