This
was
all
the
more
probable
from
the
style
of
his
equitation
--
at
short
intervals
bending
forward
in
his
saddle
,
and
scanning
the
horizon
before
him
,
as
if
expecting
to
see
some
form
outlined
above
the
line
of
the
sky
.
Continuing
to
advance
in
this
peculiar
fashion
,
he
also
disappeared
from
view
--
exactly
at
the
same
point
,
where
his
precursor
had
ceased
to
be
visible
--
to
any
one
whose
gaze
might
have
been
following
him
from
the
Fort
or
village
.
An
odd
contingency
--
if
such
it
were
--
that
just
at
that
very
instant
a
third
horseman
rode
forth
from
the
outskirts
of
the
little
Texan
town
,
and
,
like
the
other
two
,
continued
advancing
in
a
direct
line
across
the
prairie
.
He
,
also
,
was
costumed
as
if
for
a
journey
.
A
"
blanket-coat
"
of
scarlet
colour
shrouded
most
of
his
person
from
sight
--
its
ample
skirts
spread
over
his
thighs
,
half
concealing
a
short
jäger
rifle
,
strapped
aslant
along
the
flap
of
his
saddle
.
Like
the
foremost
of
the
three
,
he
exhibited
no
signs
of
a
desire
to
move
rapidly
along
the
road
.
He
was
proceeding
at
a
slow
pace
--
even
for
a
traveller
.
For
all
that
,
his
manner
betokened
a
state
of
mind
far
from
tranquil
;
and
in
this
respect
he
might
be
likened
to
the
horseman
who
had
more
immediately
preceded
him
.
But
there
was
an
essential
difference
between
the
actions
of
the
two
men
.
Whereas
the
cloaked
cavalier
appeared
desirous
of
overtaking
some
one
in
advance
,
he
in
the
red
blanket
coat
seemed
altogether
to
occupy
himself
in
reconnoitring
towards
his
rear
.
At
intervals
he
would
slue
himself
round
in
the
stirrups
--
sometimes
half
turn
his
horse
--
and
scan
the
track
over
which
he
had
passed
;
all
the
while
listening
,
as
though
he
expected
to
hear
some
one
who
should
be
coming
after
him
.
Still
keeping
up
this
singular
surveillance
,
he
likewise
in
due
time
reached
the
point
of
disappearance
,
without
having
overtaken
any
one
,
or
been
himself
overtaken
.
Though
at
nearly
equal
distances
apart
while
making
the
passage
of
the
prairie
,
not
one
of
the
three
horsemen
was
within
sight
of
either
of
the
others
.
The
second
,
half-way
between
the
other
two
,
was
beyond
reach
of
the
vision
of
either
,
as
they
were
beyond
his
.
