Midnight
Early the next morning they again took up their position on the high crest . They did not have long to wait now , for in less than an hour they beheld something upon the trail below them which gladdened their devilish hearts . At once they vanished from the summit , and like panthers stole cautiously through the forest , and cautiously began to stalk their unconscious prey . Glen 's fears and forebodings of the previous night passed away as she rode Midnight along the trail on that beautiful summer morning . For a time a feeling of security filled her heart . Was she not well guarded by her father , her lover , and two reliable Indians , Sconda and Natsu ! Why should she fear ?
