Not
yet
.
The
longer
we
can
breathe
our
animals
the
better
The
stallions
may
not
come
this
way
;
or
if
so
,
may
not
molest
us
.
It
will
depend
on
their
mood
at
the
moment
.
If
battling
among
themselves
,
we
may
look
out
for
their
attack
.
Then
they
have
lost
their
reason
--
if
I
may
so
speak
--
and
will
recklessly
rush
upon
one
of
their
own
kind
--
even
with
a
man
upon
his
back
.
Ha
!
'
tis
as
I
expected
:
they
are
in
conflict
.
I
can
tell
by
their
cries
!
And
driving
this
way
,
too
!
"
"
But
,
Mr
Gerald
;
why
should
we
not
ride
off
at
once
,
in
the
opposite
direction
?
"
"
'
Twould
be
of
no
use
.
There
's
no
cover
to
conceal
us
,
on
that
side
--
nothing
but
open
plain
.
They
'll
be
out
upon
it
before
we
could
get
a
sufficient
start
,
and
would
soon
overtake
us
.
The
place
we
must
make
for
--
the
only
safe
one
I
can
think
of
--
lies
the
other
way
.
They
are
now
upon
the
direct
path
to
it
,
if
I
can
judge
by
what
I
hear
;
and
,
if
we
start
too
soon
,
we
may
ride
into
their
teeth
.
We
must
wait
,
and
try
to
steal
away
behind
them
.
If
we
succeed
in
getting
past
,
and
can
keep
our
distance
for
a
two-mile
gallop
,
I
know
a
spot
,
where
we
shall
be
as
safe
as
if
inside
the
corrals
of
Casa
del
Corvo
.
You
are
sure
you
can
control
the
mustang
?
"
"
Quite
sure
,
"
was
the
prompt
reply
:
all
idea
of
deception
being
abandoned
in
presence
of
the
threatening
peril
.
The
two
sat
expectant
in
their
saddles
--
she
,
apparently
,
with
more
confidence
than
he
:
for
she
confided
in
him
.
Still
but
imperfectly
comprehending
it
,
she
knew
there
must
be
some
great
danger
.
When
such
a
man
showed
sign
of
fear
,
it
could
not
be
otherwise
.
She
had
a
secret
happiness
in
thinking
:
that
a
portion
of
this
fear
was
for
her
own
safety
.
"
I
think
we
may
venture
now
;
"
said
her
companion
,
after
a
short
period
spent
in
listening
;
"
they
appear
to
have
passed
the
opening
by
which
we
must
make
our
retreat
.
Look
well
to
your
riding
,
I
entreat
you
!
Keep
a
firm
seat
in
the
saddle
,
and
a
sure
hold
of
the
rein
.
Gallop
by
my
side
,
where
the
ground
will
admit
of
it
;
but
in
no
case
let
more
than
the
length
of
my
horse
's
tail
be
between
us
.
I
must
perforce
go
ahead
to
guide
the
way
.
Ha
!
they
are
coming
direct
for
the
glade
.
They
're
already
close
to
its
edge
.
Our
time
is
up
!
"
The
profound
stillness
that
but
a
short
while
before
pervaded
the
prairie
,
no
longer
reigned
over
it
.
In
its
stead
had
arisen
a
fracas
that
resembled
the
outpouring
of
some
overcrowded
asylum
;
for
in
the
shrill
neighing
of
the
steeds
might
have
been
fancied
the
screams
of
maniacs
--
only
ten
times
more
vociferous
.
They
were
mingled
with
a
thunder-like
hammering
of
hoofs
--
a
swishing
and
crashing
of
branches
--
savage
snorts
,
accompanied
by
the
sharp
snapping
of
teeth
--
the
dull
"
thud
"
of
heels
coming
in
contact
with
ribs
and
rounded
hips
--
squealing
that
betokened
spite
or
pain
--
all
forming
a
combination
of
sounds
that
jarred
harshly
upon
the
ear
,
and
caused
the
earth
to
quake
,
as
if
oscillating
upon
its
orbit
!
It
told
of
a
terrible
conflict
carried
on
by
the
wild
stallions
;
who
,
still
unseen
,
were
fighting
indiscriminately
among
themselves
,
as
they
held
their
way
among
the
mottes
.
