Hauck and Brokaw, unarmed with guns, were least dangerous just at present. He would get Brokaw with his fifth shot the sixth if he made a miss with the fifth. A thin strip of shale marked his 100-yard dead-line, and the instant Langdon set his foot on this David fired.
She's a queer little thing," Helen said, before her chum could answer. "She's rather dense, don't you know," put in Lluella's chum, Belle Tingley. "I'm not so sure of that," laughed Lluella. "Miss Brokaw became impatient with little Pease and said: "'It seems you are never able to answer a question, Mary; why is it?
He moved to the table, with Brokaw watching him like a cat, and brought something back with him, wrapped in a soft piece of buckskin. He unfolded the buckskin tenderly, and drew forth a long curl that rippled a dull red and gold in the lamp-glow, and then he handed a photograph to Brokaw. "That's her!" he whispered. Brokaw turned so that the light fell on the picture.
And then with a fierceness that made his blood boil came the thought of that time when Brokaw had caught her in his arms, and had held her head back until it hurt and had kissed her! Baree had crept between his knees, and David's fingers closed so tightly in the loose skin of his neck that the dog whined. He rose to his feet and stood gazing down at the girl.
Twice they circled about the blood-spattered arena, Brokaw following him with leisurely sureness, and yet delaying his attack as if in that steady retreat of his victim he saw torture too satisfying to put an end to at once.
Miss Brokaw stepped to the monitor's desk at one side and tapped on the bell. "Oh, mercy!" gasped Heavy, the incorrigible. "She's shut us off again. And I haven't had half enough to eat." "Rise!" said Miss Brokaw, after a moment of waiting. "Immediately, girls. Miss Stone, you will come, too."
"But I I must wait for the ship!" "Why not leave word for Brokaw and join MacDougall?" "Because when the ship comes in I believe that a large part of this mystery will be cleared up," replied Philip. "It is necessary that I remain here. That will give us a few days in which to make a further search for these people."
She was limp, and terrified, and was looking up at him in such a strange way that he was filled with alarm. "I didn't tell him anything," she whispered, as if afraid he would not believe her. "I didn't tell him you weren't that man Mac McKenna. He heard you and Brokaw go when you passed my room. Then he went to the men. I followed and listened.
Was it true that she did not know Eileen Brokaw, that she had never heard of Lord Fitzhugh Lee, and that she had always lived among the wild people of the north? By what miracle performed here in the heart of a savage world could this girl talk to him in German and Latin? Was she making fun of him? He turned to look at her and found her dark, clear eyes upon him.
David raised himself and through the horror of what he saw the Girl ran to him unharmed and clasped her arms about him, her lips sobbing all the time "Tara Tara Tara...." He turned her face to his breast, and held it there. It was ghastly. Henry was dead. Hauck was dead. And Brokaw was dead a thousand times dead with the grizzly tearing his huge body into pieces.
