The enemy saved them the trouble of cutting through, however, for it suddenly burst upwards, and part of the roof fell in. It would certainly have taken Frank prisoner had not Dale caught him by the collar, and dragged him out of danger.
She had it dragged out of the next room there was but one floor and placed near the fire, which was constantly kept up. Madge waited on her assiduously when she was not out of doors at field-work.
