“Billy! My—boy!” Mrs. Bennett bent over him; and he felt a tear where her cheek touched his. “Do you live here?” she questioned with an irrepressible shudder. “I knew it!” Billy panted feverishly. “The Ha’nt!” Heedless of the dog running with his nose close to the ground, Billy rushed on. His shirt was torn, his trousers hanging by one suspender, his shoes cut and one tap turned back. Ashes whitened his hair; though at the back a dark mat was still damp from oozing blood,—the handkerchief that had bound it had been torn off by a twitching twig.

“One of the brothers, hurt.” Directly the invalid’s querulous demand for the rancher was made, Moses started off to fetch him. On the morning after Nell Gordon’s arrival, she admired the lovely array of fairy-like trumpets that seemed to smile a welcome from the glass bowl in the centre of the table.
