Agile Henry, not willing to lose a single straggler, pursued the fugitive, and Paul, wishing to be as zealous, followed.

The rest of the cattle, being so near and obeying the force of habit, went on into the stockade.
It was the wildest cow of the herd that made a plunge for the woods, and Henry, knowing her nature, expected trouble.

So he ran as fast as he could, and he was not aware until they were in the forest that Paul was close behind him.

Then he shouted: "Go back, Paul! I'll bring her in." But Paul would not turn.

There was fire in his blood.
