I

admire

your

courage

,

miss

;

but

if

I

had

the

honour

of

being

one

of

your

friends

,

I

should

take

the

liberty

of

counselling

a

little

caution

.

The

'

noble

savage

'

you

speak

of

,

is

not

always

sober

upon

the

prairies

;

and

perhaps

not

so

very

gallant

as

you

've

been

led

to

believe

.

If

you

had

met

him

--

"

"

If

I

had

met

him

,

and

he

had

attempted

to

misbehave

himself

,

I

would

have

given

him

the

go-by

,

and

ridden

,

straight

back

to

my

friends

.

On

such

a

swift

creature

as

this

,

he

must

have

been

well

mounted

to

have

overtaken

me

.

You

found

some

difficulty

--

did

you

not

?

The

eyes

of

the

young

Irishman

,

already

showing

astonishment

,

became

expanded

to

increased

dimensions

--

surprise

and

incredulity

being

equally

blended

in

their

glance

.

"

But

,

"

said

he

,

after

a

speechless

pause

,

"

you

do

n't

mean

to

say

that

you

could

have

controlled

--

that

the

mustang

was

not

running

away

with

you

?

Am

I

to

understand

--

"

"

No

--

no

--

no

!

"

hastily

rejoined

the

fair

equestrian

,

showing

some

slight

embarrassment

.

"

The

mare

certainly

made

off

with

me

--

that

is

,

at

the

first

--

but

I

--

I

found

,

that

is

--

at

the

last

--

I

found

I

could

easily

pull

her

up

.

In

fact

I

did

so

:

you

saw

it

?

"

"

And

could

you

have

done

it

sooner

?

A

strange

thought

had

suggested

the

interrogatory

;

and

with

more

than

ordinary

interest

the

questioner

awaited

the

reply

.

"

Perhaps

--

perhaps

--

I

might

;

no

doubt

,

if

I

had

dragged

a

little

harder

upon

the

rein

.

But

you

see

,

sir

,

I

like

a

good

gallop

--

especially

upon

a

prairie

,

where

there

's

no

fear

of

running

over

pigs

,

poultry

,

or

people

.

"

Maurice

looked

amaze

.

In

all

his

experience

--

even

in

his

own

native

land

,

famed

for

feminine

braverie

--

above

all

in

the

way

of

bold

riding

--

he

had

met

no

match

for

the

clever

equestrian

before

him

.
