LYLE was in her room and changing her habit before she suddenly thought of Nora. She called her name, but there was no answer. She threw on a dressing-gown, and opened the communicating door between the two rooms--Nora's was empty.
"I wonder what has detained her? Surely her horse didn't bolt also," she thought, as she returned and finished her dressing. She felt sick and bruised and weary, but she knew it would be better to put in an appearance at the luncheon table than to let her father hear a garbled version of her hunting adventure. There was no need to mention Derrick Mallory's name. But what could have happened to Nora? She ought to have been home by this time.
