She
was
conscious
,
too
,
that
this
interest
--
originating
in
a
word
,
a
glance
,
a
gesture
--
listened
to
,
or
observed
,
amid
the
ashes
of
a
burnt
prairie
--
instead
of
subsiding
,
had
ever
since
been
upon
the
increase
!
It
was
not
diminished
when
Maurice
the
mustanger
came
riding
back
across
the
plain
,
with
the
wild
mare
between
his
legs
--
no
more
wild
--
no
longer
desiring
to
destroy
him
--
but
with
lowered
crest
and
mien
submissive
,
acknowledging
to
all
the
world
that
she
had
found
her
master
!
Without
acknowledging
it
to
the
world
,
or
even
to
herself
,
the
young
Creole
was
inspired
with
a
similar
reflection
.
"
Miss
Poindexter
!
"
said
the
mustanger
,
gliding
to
the
ground
,
and
without
making
any
acknowledgment
to
the
plaudits
that
were
showered
upon
him
--
"
may
I
ask
you
to
step
up
to
her
,
throw
this
lazo
over
her
neck
,
and
lead
her
to
the
stable
?
By
so
doing
,
she
will
regard
you
as
her
tamer
;
and
ever
after
submit
to
your
will
,
if
you
but
exhibit
the
sign
that
first
deprived
her
of
her
liberty
.
"
A
prude
would
have
paltered
with
the
proposal
--
a
coquette
would
have
declined
it
--
a
timid
girl
have
shrunk
back
.
Not
so
Louise
Poindexter
--
a
descendant
of
one
of
the
filles-à-la-casette
.
Without
a
moment
's
hesitation
--
without
the
slightest
show
of
prudery
or
fear
--
she
stepped
forth
from
the
aristocratic
circle
;
as
instructed
,
took
hold
of
the
horsehair
rope
;
whisked
it
across
the
neck
of
the
tamed
mustang
;
and
led
the
captive
off
towards
the
caballeriza
of
Casa
del
Corvo
As
she
did
so
,
the
mustanger
's
words
were
ringing
in
her
ears
,
and
echoing
through
her
heart
with
a
strange
foreboding
weird
signification
.
"
She
will
regard
you
as
her
tamer
;
and
ever
after
submit
to
your
will
,
if
you
but
exhibit
the
sign
that
first
deprived
her
of
her
liberty
.
"
The
first
rays
from
a
rosy
aurora
,
saluting
the
flag
of
Fort
Inge
,
fell
with
a
more
subdued
light
upon
an
assemblage
of
objects
occupying
the
parade-ground
below
--
in
front
of
the
"
officers
'
quarters
.
"
A
small
sumpter-waggon
stood
in
the
centre
of
the
group
;
having
attached
to
it
a
double
span
of
tight
little
Mexican
mules
,
whose
quick
impatient
"
stomping
,
"
tails
spitefully
whisked
,
and
ears
at
intervals
turning
awry
,
told
that
they
had
been
for
some
time
in
harness
,
and
were
impatient
to
move
off
--
warning
the
bystanders
,
as
well
,
against
a
too
close
approximation
to
their
heels
.
