"Well, you see Beardsley needs help to carry out his plans, and his game now is to do nothing that will cause Hanson's abductors to turn their attention to him and his buildings.
He had seen the look of terror in her eyes, and the dawning hope die out as the boat that carried her had turned rapidly away from the Ithaca. His one thought now was to rescue her from her abductors and return her to her father. Of his own reward or profit he entertained no single thought it was enough if he could fight for her. That would be reward sufficient.
I shall not tell him or any who may be with him. No one shall ever know from me that you were my abductors. God grant that you may never have to pay the penalty. Go, while you may, for the truth may become known without my help, and I may not be able to save you. Save yourselves, all of you. I mean Philip Quentin, too, because I know he loves me. "Dorothy."
The world was given to understand that $1000 reward would be paid for Rosalie's return or for information leading to the apprehension and capture of her abductors. There was one very mysterious point in connection with the affair something so strange that it bordered on the supernatural. No human being in Bramble County except the two boys had seen the double-seated sleigh.
There was a strong party of the enemy on the opposite side. My anxiety was terrible, till I received your letter, and you may imagine how great a shock it was to me to learn the frightful scene through which you had passed, and how my sentiments changed towards those whom I had regarded as your abductors, but whom I now learn were your saviours.
These people were looking at us! We might as well have been walking through an open street." "But why didn't they do something to you, then?" demanded Frank. "They captured the ones who entered the workroom." "Those were counterfeiters, not abductors." "Well, then, they caught Jimmie and lugged him away?" "In an effort to drive us out of the country, yes." "Then why didn't they capture you?"
"But in seeking the wisest methods of economy, the essential opportunity may escape her. While she is financiering, the child may die in the hands of his abductors, or he may succumb to hardship otherwise be disfigured by disease or disabled by exposure, or slaughtered, so to speak, mentally or morally, or spirited away and be heard of never again.
Deville's pleading inquiry concerning the missing girls drew from the abductors feigned expressions of surprise and regret. Turning to Winslow, Palafox said: "I'm 'stonished, captain, that you risked takin' women on board a freight boat." "Yes," added Sheldrake. "You'll blame y'rself 's long 's you live. Them bodies will come up as floaters, down about Baton Rouge." Doctor Deville groaned.
Billy nodded and moved off in the direction of the ranchhouse. Here he dismounted and with Eddie Shorter and Mr. Harding commenced circling the house in search of some manner of clue to the direction taken by the abductors. It was not long before they came upon the spot where the Indians' horses had stood the night before. From there the trail led plainly down toward the river.
"I'm mighty glad you found the police," he said to Dick, who now felt able to do for himself once more. "Will they go with us?" "You are certain those folks on the other boat are thieves?" demanded Sergeant Brown. "Carter and I don't want to go off on any wild goose chase." "They are not only thieves, but abductors," said Dick. "We can easily prove it.
