CHAPTER VII.
THE FLIGHT.
The outlaw chief placed himself by the side of Lucille as they started away, and she said quickly:
“There is no possible chance of my escape, so ride on ahead and I will follow you.”
“You do not wish me by your side?”
“I do not.”
“I wish to talk to you.”
“I do not care to converse with you.”
“But I have something of importance to say.”
“I do not care to hear it.”
