Yet for half an hour the lone horseman sat there like a statue, and if he resented their coming or saw the dust of other bands behind, he made no sign. Even when the guard of men passed beneath him, craning their necks uneasily, he still remained silent and immobile, like a man who has councils of his own or leads a force behind.

"Have you any remarks to make, Miss Frome?" he asked. "Oh, I've made it," returned the girl unabashed. She turned to James and shook hands with him. "How do you do, Mr. Farnum? I see you are going to be tied to Uncle Joe's kite, too." Was there in her voice just a hint of scorn? James did not know. He laughed a little uneasily. "Shall I be swallowed up alive, Miss Frome?"

There may be some notes stowed away, though it is likely enough that they have been sent away by post to some receiver abroad." For some time after starting they could hear the prisoner moving about uneasily in the straw. "I suppose there is no fear of his slipping out of those handcuffs, Chester?" "Not a bit; they are full tight for him. I expect that that is what is making him uncomfortable."

"Your felicitation, benign, though doubtless gold at heart, is set in a doubtful frame." "It is for your stalwart endeavour to assure a happy picture," replied Shen Yi, with undisturbed cordiality. "You bear a sword."
