One moment Henrich saw his falling form, and met the still fiery glance of that matchless eye the next, he heard the crash of breaking branches, and listened for the last fatal sound of the expiring body on the rocks below.
He was a hang-dog looking sort of fellow, anyway; and in his saturated condition his appearance was not improved. He lay panting for a minute like an expiring fish, and Ruth looked down at him perhaps more contemptuously than she realized. "Well, who you looking at?" he growled at length.

For a time it seemed as if brighter days could never come to Mara, for Clancy's life flickered like the light of an expiring candle. At last the fever broke and he became rational, the pure, open air conducing to his recovery.
