With a fairly rich prize of currency and silver the robbers were making a wide detour to the west through the less populous country, intending to seek safety in Mexico by means of some fordable spot on the Rio Grande. The booty from the train had melted the desperate bushrangers to jovial and happy skylarkers.

"Did I hear what?" panted Ruth. "Oh! I was so frightened. There is something dreadful about that fountain. I heard whisperings and rustlings there; but the harp "
