It's some years now since we were together last." While all this had been going on, the three boys had looked on wonderingly, but it did not take long to explain matters. It seemed that Hendricks and Mr. Melton had once been members of a hunting party, and had scoured the Rockies together in search of game. They had formed a friendship then that had never grown cold.
All at once the lion stopped, then gazing a moment at the intruders, galloped off after the cubs, but the lioness still came bounding on. Hendricks on this refrained from pulling his trigger.
Hendricks was halfway down the veranda steps before he was aware that Brownwell was running up the walk at them, pistol in hand, like one mad. Before the man could fire, Hendricks was upon him, and had Brownwell's two hands gripped tightly in one of his, holding them high in the air. The little man struggled.
No one on the "Hoppergrass" was as much interested in this as the Captain and I. So while we talked with the boy, Ed Mason and Jimmy Toppan walked up town to get some supplies, while Mr. Daddles or Billy Hendricks, rather and the two Kidds went to see Mr. Kidd at his office. We had invited all three of them to come with us and finish the week on the "Hoppergrass."

"But load your rifles, and be prepared to act as I may direct you, though there is, I fear, but little chance of making our escape." The Zulus had now gathered closely round their prisoners, whom, however, they did not ill-treat, but allowed them to walk as they liked.
"Hendricks won't mind that. We might carry them between us part of the way, and they are too valuable to be lost," answered Denis; "but see, what is that fellow about?" He pointed to one of the elephants who had gone farther into the ford than the rest.
"Drive on to the Oberon, Gus." As they neared the theatre the surging waves of humanity barred their progress, and the big car was forced to come to a standstill. "I'll get out," said Hendricks, "and make a few inquiries. The Free Press office is near here, and I know some of the people there." He strode off and was soon swallowed up in the crowd.
At night he and Bob Hendricks wandered away together, and sometimes they walked out under the stars and talked as boys will talk of their little world and the big world about them, or sometimes they sat reading at one or the other's home, and one would walk home with the other, and the other walk a piece of the way back.
