Her smiles and her beauty again wound their fascinations round his heart, and in the excess of their influence he was almost tempted to repair the injury which his late suspicions had done her, by confessing them at her feet. The appearance of the Cavalier de Vincini, however, renewed his suspicions; his heart throbbed wildly, and with restless impatience he watched the return of evening, which would remove his suspence. “The Greasers making a stand, I reckon,” was Ted Hoyt’s comment. “Probably a regular battle.” CHAPTER V JERRY’S STORY.
