"The name of my horse, " hesaid, "maybe familiar to you. He is called Firefoot. " "Firefoot!" she answered dazedly, "that is the name of Hyland'shorse--Hyland the bushranger. " "This is Hyland's horse, " he said, and he patted the animal's neckgently as it thrust its head within the window. "But you said it was your horse, " she rejoined slowly, as though thething perplexed her sorely. "It is Hyland's horse; it is my horse, " he urged without looking at her. His courage well-nigh failed him. Vi...llain as he was, he loved her, andhe saw the foundations of her love for him crumbling away before him. Inall his criminal adventures he had cherished this one thing. She suddenly gave a cry of shame and agony, a low trembling cry, asthough her heart-strings were being dragged out. She drew back fromhim--back to the middle of the room. He came towards her, reaching out his arms. "Forgive me, " he said. "Oh, no, never!" she cried with horror. The cry had been heard outside, and Houghton entered the room, to findhis wife, all her strength gone, turning a face of horror upon Cayley.
