THE CLUE TO RINA
Rina brought all four horses handily through the wood, bringing up the rear on the back of old Cy. She slipped off beside Garth, and looked in the direction where Natalie lay.
"Still sleeping," Garth said.
As Rina's eyes fell on him, they suddenly widened; and plain fear broke through the mask of her face. "'Erbe't been here!" she said breathlessly.
"How do you know?" he said in surprise.
Rina pointed to his belt. "You got his knife!" she said. "How you get his knife?"
"He tried to murder me with it," said Garth, watching her face narrowly.
