"What has happened to me?" "You fell and hurt your head." He turned slightly and observed the other man looking down at her with dark and tragic glance. "Hello, Belden," he said, feebly. "How came you here?" Then noting Berrie's look, he added: "I remember. He tried to kill me." He again searched his antagonist's face. "Why didn't you finish the job?" The girl tried to turn his thought aside.
Wayland was sure of this a few steps farther on, when the Supervisor's horse went down in a small bog-hole, and Berrie's pony escaped only by the most desperate plunging.
