"Too contemptible to kill!" he said; and turned on his heel. XVII 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.
