Now and again, when the sound of pattering feet and panting breath and the rus tling and rending among the copses fell too far behind, he drew out his shepherd's pipe and blew a strain of music, shrill and plaintive, quavering and lamenting through the hollow night. He waited while the troops of gray and black scuffied and bounded and trotted near to him. Then he dropped the pipe into its place again and strode forward, looking on the ground.
