The Koord came close to them ; he cast a hasty glance around, and was proceeding in a different direction when Feridoon's horse, hear- ing the trample of one of his species, raised his head, expanded his nostrils and was on the very point of neighing, when his master, quick as thought, plunged his sword up to the very hilt into the animaFs heart, stifling by its OR^ THE KOORDISH CHIEF. 181 death, the sound which would have betrayed them. It was a hard, but necessary sacrifice, for had the neigh... been made and heard, all would have been lost ; as it was, the attention of the Koord who had just passed, seemed to have been attracted by the noise made by the animal's fall, for he stopped and inclined his head as if listening ; at this moment, however, a shout from another quarter caused him to gallop off. No sooner had he gone, than Fe- ridoon supporting Zoraya in his arms, began to retreat from the spot, keeping under cover of the rocks, lest he might be observed from below.
