This, following Ken's experience at the cage on the first day, made him angry and then depressed. The glamour of the thing seemed to fade away. Ken lost the glow, the exhilaration of his first feelings. Everybody took a hopeless view of Wayne's baseball prospects. Ken Ward, however, was not one to stay discouraged long, and when he came out of his gloom it was with his fighting spirit roused.
The surgeon came, administered stimulant, examined and rebound his wound; a bullet had torn through the right thigh, and he had bled fearfully, but all he seemed to think of was the errand on which he came. In few words he told of Wayne's position, pointed out the shortest way, and bade them be off at once.
Mary Pole on Wayne's right claimed his attention and Miriam was left her own mistress. Almost at once her attention was arrested by hearing Mrs. Endsleigh Jarrott saying in that appealing voice which she counted as the secret of her success with men: "Now do give me your frank opinion, Mr. Strange. You don't know how much I should like it.
"To China! How interesting!" she said. "China is a wonderful country. How I should like to go to China!" "Come along. I don't start for two weeks." She shook her head. "No, if you go, I'll make a trip to that hypnotic clinic of Dr. Platerbridge's; and if I can learn the trick, I will open one here." The idea crossed Wayne's mind that perhaps he had not the power of inspiring affection.

Campbell rejoined that he had acted under orders and as to his right, that was a matter which were best left to "the ambassadors of our different nations." Campbell refused to obey Wayne's demand to withdraw, and Wayne ignored Campbell's threat to fire if he were approached too close.
When the horse stumbled or floundered in the loose snow she jerked angrily at the reins and cut sharply with her riding whip. She entered the yard and rode up to the porch while Wanda was still deep in Wayne's letter, while Dart was forming his lips to a soft, silent whistle over a document which had passed from a drawer of the safe into his caressing white fingers.

She married another man and died; but her memory is forever sacred to me, and so is her daughter." To this astonishing revelation Arthur Merlin said nothing.
Fired by the sight, some of Wayne's men seize their saddles and throw them on their excited steeds, but before they can mount Truscott's men are whirling up and down the valley, driving the few remaining warriors to the other side, and leaving some wounded ponies and two bedizened braves prone upon the prairies.
"Don't you be troubled about little Grace Plumer. She can take proper care of herself," answered Arthur, merrily. Hope Wayne's busy fingers did not stop.
