Ready to start on again, Robert ?" "My breath is all right now, and I'll run a race with anybody.

You don't think they've lost us, do you ?" "Not likely, but in case they have I'll tell 'em where we are." He uttered a shout so piercing that it made Robert jump.

Then he led again at a great pace down the ravine, and a single cry behind them showed that the pursuit was coming.

As nearly as Robert could calculate, the warriors were about three hundred yards away.
