Chapter XIII
THE RESCUE They had struck off from the main trail between the two Indian villages, and were within a mile or two of Stonor's camp. Their pace was slow, for the going was bad, and Stonor's horse was utterly jaded. The trooper's face was set in grim lines. He was thinking of the scene that waited ahead. Imbrie, too, had the grace to look anxious and downcast.
