Visit us online at .1stWorldLibrary.ORG A single tent stood in a gully running from one of the gravelpits of the heath, near an ironred rillet, and a girl of Kiomis tribe leaned over the lazy water at half length, striking it with her handkerchief. At a distance of about twice a stonesthrow from the new carriageroad between Durstan and Bulsted, I fancied from old recollections she might be Kiomi herself. This was not the time for her people to be camping on Durstan. Besides, I feared it improbable that one would find her in any of the tracks of her people. The noise of the wheels brought the girls face round to me. She was one of those who were babies in the tents when I was a boy. We were too far apart for me to read her features. I lay back in the carriage, thinking that it would have been better for my poor little wild friend if I had never crossed the shadow of her tents. A life caught out of its natural circle is as much in danger of being lost as a limb given to a wheel in spinning machinery so it occurred to me, until I reflected that Prince Ernest might make the same remark, and deplore the damage done to the superior machinery likewise.
