Then lifting her voice, she again accosted him: "Mr. Le Noir!"
He turned, with a smile.
She threw one of the pistols on the ground near him, saying: "Take that up and defend yourself."
He waved his hand in negation, bowed, smiled, and rode on.
"Mr. Le Noir!" she called, in a peremptory tone.
Once more he turned.
She raised her pistol, took deliberate aim at his white forehead, and fired—
Bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
Six times without an instant's intermission, until her revolver was spent.
When the smoke cleared away, a terrible vision met her eyes!
