Damon, as Tom took off the receiver. "Dad isn't quite so well," answered the lad. "Mr. Jackson says they have sent for Dr. Hendrix again. But dad is game. He sends me word to go on and win, and I'll do it, too, only " Tom paused, and choked back a sob. Then he prepared to get more speed out of his motor. "Of course you will!" cried Mr. Damon. "Bless my !"
He moved forward to the press, staring at it, and there were tears in his eyes as he ran his hands over the broken metal. Then he looked up at them. "Arrest or rescue?" he asked. "Arrest!" a voice from the door said harshly, and Bruce Gordon swung to see six Legals filing in, headed by Hendrix himself. The captain nodded at Gordon. "Good work, Sergeant.
He stood his ground, urging his men to face the foe; and when he was shot dead, they were so enraged that with extraordinary valor they routed the French, and thus Hendrix in dying was really the means of saving Forts George and Edward for the colonists.
It was a few hours after the discovery of the empty bomb that Tom saw Dr. Gladby coming along. The physician was urging his horse to top speed. Tom felt a vague fear in his heart. "I've got a message from Dr. Hendrix, Tom," he said, as he stopped his carriage, and approached the lad. "When can he come?" asked the young inventor, eagerly. "He can't get here, Tom." "Can't get here! Why not?"
It'll carry you through. Do I get that favor? It's simple enough just to have Beethoven's Ninth on the machine and for the whole damned lot of you to get out of my cabin and let me die in my own way!" Muller shrugged, but Napier found the tape and put it on. I wanted to see the louse punished for every second of worry, for Lomax, for Hendrix even for Grundy.
Apparently, Chief Justice Arliss had broken with the Wayne administration, and the mimeographed form was a legal ruling that Wayne was no longer Mayor, since the charter had been voided. He was charged with inciting a riot, and a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Hendrix appeared finally. "All right, men," he shouted. "You all see it. We're going to arrest Wayne.
Hendrix had been wounded lightly, and was out when Gordon and Izzy reported. But the next day, they were switched to a new beat where trouble had been thickest and given twelve-hour duty without special overtime. Izzy considered it slowly and shook his head. "That does it, gov'nor. It ain't honest, treating us this way.
There was a leg attached. I reached for it, but Lomax shoved me back. "Don't the enzymes in the corpse are worse than the poison, Paul. Hands off." He reached down with the gloves and heaved. It was Hendrix, all right a corpse with a face and hands as white as human flesh could ever get. Even the lips were bleached out. Jenny moaned. "The fool! The stupid fool.
Gordon told the man. Rebellion, rebellion! He'd meant to say revolution, but... Trench was arguing frantically with the pompous figure of Captain Hendrix. From the other end of the street, a group of small cars appeared; and men began piling out, all in shiny green. "Who's this?" the phone asked. When Gordon identified himself, there was a snort of disgust. "Yes, yes, congratulations.
"Because the railroad bridge has collapsed, and there is no way to come. He can't make any other connections to get here in time in time to do your father any good, Tom. He has just sent me a telegram to that effect. Dr. Hendrix can't get here, and..." Dr. Gladby paused. "Do you mean that my father may die if the operation is not performed?" asked Tom, in a low voice. "Yes," was the answer.
