Sit on your hat, Deveaux." Away they swept, Penelope's two admirers wrathfully barking at one another about satisfaction at some future hour. The storm burst upon them in all its fury the maddest, wildest storm they had known in all their lives. Terrified, half drowned, blown almost from the saddles, the trio finally found shelter in the lee of a shelving cliff just off the road.
"Don't worry, Deveaux," advised John quickly. "We won't feel bad over a little thing like that." "That your plane over there?" asked the swarthy fellow. "That's it; quite a strong resemblance to yours here," said John with cutting sarcasm. "That's so," was Deveaux's comment, casting a quick look toward Mr. Wrenn.
There was no getting around it Pete Deveaux was clever, if he were a rascal. This our friends had to admit to themselves, despite their dislike of the fellow. His methods of getting the best of them seemed to have no limit; and yet thus far they had been able to cling, by the hardest kind of work, right at his heels.
Moreover he explained, it would be the height of folly to attack the house until they were sure that Penelope was on the inside. After many minutes there came a break in the violence of the storm and preparations were at once made for the climb up the hill. Deveaux was to remain behind in charge of the horses.
Ever since the dastardly attempt of Pete Deveaux and his crowd to wreck the Sky-Bird in the Indian Ocean, our flyers had been greatly incensed at them, or rather at Pete Deveaux himself, for they had no doubt but that it was he who had instigated the attack.
Pushing their way through the concourse about their own airplane, they were surprised to find Pete Deveaux and Chuck Crossman just jumping down from the wings. These flyers hurried away through a gap in the circle of onlookers toward their own machine before our friends could accost them.
The great example of this lady made me reflect seriously, and I communicated my thoughts, as a matter of course, to Father Deveaux. He assured me that the one last greatest sacrifice which remained for me to make was the sacrifice of my liberty.
For these reasons, when Paul now declared that he could not bear to wait another minute before taking Pete Deveaux to account, his chums made no attempt to dissuade him, except in the matter of time.
"That's right; they're a bunch of snakes!" supported Bob, his cheeks red with excitement and anger, and his fists doubled menacingly. John turned to the slouching figures of the rival crew. "Do you fellows deny these charges?" he asked quietly. Crossman, Torrey, and Lane looked at their leader, merely shrugging their shoulders. Pete Deveaux took a quick glance in their direction, in turn.
"That lazy dog ought to be horse-whipped. Let's help the child." Both boys fell to work with a will, rescued the escaping oranges, and tucked them back in their owner's basket. Then, with her grateful thanks ringing in their ears, they hurried on once more. After they had gone a few steps, Paul Ross observed: "Bob, I've seen that fellow before. That was Pete Deveaux.
