She did not know then that three men had witnessed her flight from the duke, or that they had taken swift vengeance upon him for his unpardonable conduct in the road. It was not Jerry's way to accept misfortune tamely, and after circling the wall of timber that shut her in. In the hope of determining where she had entered, she chose a trail at random and plunged Into the woods. She assumed that probably all the roads and paths on the estate led more or less directly to the great house or to some lodge or bungalow. in her She had lost her riding-cromad flight, and she broke off a switch, tossing its leaves into the moonlight and laughing softly as they rained about her. Suddenly ahead of her through the woods floated the sound of singing one of those strange, wavering pieux cantiques peculiar to the south. She rode on, thinking to find help and a guide back to Ardsley; then the music ceased, and lights now flashed faintly before her, but she went forward guardedly. I'm much more lost than I thought I was, for I must be away off the estate, she reflected. She turned and rode back a few rods and dismounted, and tied her horse to a sapling. She was disappointed at not finding a to camp of Ardmores whom she would unhesitatingly have confided herself; but it seemed wise now to exercise caution In drawing to herself the attention of strangers.
