Travis shut his eyes in an involuntary protest against this weird form of capture, and a shiver ran through his body as he continued to descend. After the first shock had subsided the Apache realized that he was not truly falling at all. Had the pillar been horizontal instead of vertical, he would have gauged its speed that of a walk.

"Colette, surely it was the dearest love-letter a man ever received. If I could have had it all these dreary months!" "Do you wonder that I feared its falling into strange hands?"
