In the same instant he saw Captain Ward rush to the falling general, and saw the bodyguard gather about him, and then the blackness came over the child and he fell.

He did not see them bear General Lyon's body into the brush, nor hear Ward moan his sorrow.

But when Ward returned from the thicket, he saw the child lying limp on the grass.
As Ward ran toward the hospital van carrying the limp little body, he could see that a ball had pierced the boy's foot.

Also he saw the men in retreat who had shot Lyon, and all over the field the firing had ceased.

As he hurried through the underbrush, Ward ran into Bob Hendricks hiding in the thicket.
