When the officer finished speaking, the little group of men turned to the horses, and, without the loss of a moment, were out of sight in the mountain wilderness. A half hour before he was due, young Carleton appeared with the Sheriff's answer to the Ranger's letter. "Well done, boy," said Brian Oakley, heartily.

At her funeral the royal standard was hoisted half- mast high on Greenwich Hospital, the Observatory, the churches of St.
