I had nothing for it but to turn round, let him almost run against themuzzle of my air-gun, pull the trigger, and see him fall in his tracks. It was the work of a second, but it checked my pursuers. They had heardno noise, but they found something that they did not bargain for, andlingered a moment; then, they took up the chase with redoubled fury. ButI had too good a start; and where the path joined the main road, insteadof turning down toward the town as they expected I would, I dodged roundi...n the opposite direction, the uncertain light this time favouring me, and I heard their footsteps and their curses dying away on the wrongtrack. Nevertheless I ran on at full speed, and it was not till the daywas dawning that I began to feel safe and relax my efforts. The sun hadbeen up an hour when I reached a small town, and the little _locanda_was just opening for the day when I entered it, thankful for a hot cupof coffee and a dirty little room, with a dirtier bed, where I couldsleep off the fatigue and excitement of the night.
