[“He has brought you far to-day?”]
[Like a flash the blue barrel of his rifle gleamed level and he shot once—twice.]
[“Oh, he’s only a boy!... What! Can he be Oldring’s Masked Rider?”]
[“What on earth is that?”]
[He did not pause until he gained the narrow divide]
[“Bess, I’ll not go again”]
[It was Jane’s gaze riveted upon the rider that made Bishop Dyer turn.]
[Venters and Bess finished their simple meal—then faced the open terrace, to watch and await the approaching storm.]
[just as Wrangle plunged again he caught the whizz of a leaden missile]
[and Venters shot him through the heart]
[“Don’t—look—back!”]
[When he and Bess rode up out of the hollow the sun was low.]
