Just before the three had turned in Captain Eberhardt, with an apology for the necessity of his actions, had bound them. Chester, after sleeping for perhaps an hour, had roused up, and, by holding his hands over the blaze, had loosened the knot that bound them. Then quickly untying his feet, he had relieved the German officer of his weapons, and in turn had bound and gagged him.
It was a long walk to the quarters of Captain Eberhardt, for as such the captain later gave his name, and when they reached there both lads were blue with cold. Captain Eberhardt's condition was just as bad, and once inside the hut all three shed their frozen garments and drew close to the fire. Here they thawed out quickly, and the German officer motioned them to seats.
Didn't Captain Eberhardt put himself out attempting to save us? He interceded for us, didn't he?" "Yes, but " "Well, then, it is our fault that he is to be executed." "I know all that," said Hal; "but, if we go back to intercede for him, we shall probably be shot in his stead." "That's a chance we must take," said Chester briefly.
These two volumes by Isabelle Eberhardt where have I heard that name before? look tempting. I promise myself some hours of pleasant reading. "And then, for downright misstatement," he continued, "look at this.
"I was told that you had made you way into the French lines during the night." "We did, sir," said Chester. "Then how comes it that you are back here?" "We learned from a prisoner this morning that Captain Eberhardt was to be shot because we escaped," said Chester, "so we came back to help him if possible."
Questioned upon various topics the German had volunteered the information that Captain Eberhardt, from whom Hal and Chester had escaped the night before, was to be put to death. "Tell us more about it," said Chester. "Well, there isn't much to tell," said the soldier. "During the night a shot gave notice of the escape of two prisoners.
But in the search the seekers too often become insane, and strike about blindly in the dark like raving madmen. Seven hundred and fifty tons of ore from the original Eberhardt mine on Treasure Hill yielded a million and a half dollars, the whole of this immense sum having been obtained within two hundred and fifty feet of the surface, the greater portion within one hundred and forty feet.
The general threw wide his arms in a sudden gesture. "Captain Eberhardt shall go free," he said. He turned, and with a word, dismissed the firing squad. Captain Eberhardt approached the lads and grasped each by the hand before the very eyes of the general. "I can never thank you half enough," he said, and there were tears in his eyes. "Oh, that's all right," said Chester. "We couldn't do less."
This accounts for the fact that in many modern editions of solo music for violin, double fingerings, for student and advanced players respectively, are indicated an essentially modern editorial development. Modern instructive works by such masters as Sevčik, Eberhardt and others have made technical problems more clearly and concisely get-at-able than did the older methods.
The escape of the prisoners had been discovered, and Captain Eberhardt, held responsible for his prisoners' disappearance, was under arrest. "You say Captain Eberhardt is to be shot? What for?" demanded Hal.
