But all regiments quartered here are now marching out and to-morrow a fresh brigade will enter Ostend." They were silent a time, until someone rapped upon the door. Von Holtz admitted a slim, good-looking young Belgian who grasped his hand and said eagerly in French: "You sent for me?" "Yes. You may speak English here, Monsieur Rondel."
The discharge of this coil appears in the form of powerful brushes and luminous streams issuing from all points of the two straight wires attached to the terminals of the secondary. Now compare this phenomenon which you have just witnessed with the discharge of a Holtz or Wimshurst machine that other interesting appliance so dear to the experimenter.
He had fled a week or more before, when Jacaro already learning the language of his half-mad allies began to plan a grandiose attack upon the Golden City. Von Holtz was born a coward, and he knew where Tommy Reames and Denham would shortly thrust a Tube through. It would come out just where the catapult had flung Evelyn and Denham, months before, the same spot where he had marooned them.
In this manner sudden impulses, at long intervals, are produced in the primary pp, which in the secondary s give a corresponding number of impulses of great intensity. If the secondary knobs or spheres, KK, are of the proper size, the sparks show much resemblance to those of a Holtz machine.
His name was Von Holtz; he had once been laboratory assistant to Professor Denham, and he had betrayed Evelyn and her father to the most ghastly of possible fates for a bribe offered him by Jacaro. Now he groveled. He was horrible to look at. Where he was not scratched and torn his flesh was reddened as if by fire.
His tone was very frank, and friendly quite; the kind voice of fifteen years back; he gave Esmond his hand as he spoke. "Others have changed their coats too, my Father," says Esmond, glancing at his friend's military decoration. "Hush! I am Mr. or Captain von Holtz, in the Bavarian Elector's service, and on a mission to his Highness the Prince of Savoy.
Find and liberal compensation. Apply, Holtz." Gretchen laughed joyously; the vintner grinned; the sub-chief swore under his breath. "The devil fly away with you both!" he cried, making the best of his chagrin. "And when you marry, don't invite me to the wedding." After they had gone, however, he called for an assistant. "Did you see that young vintner?" "Yes." "Follow him, night and day.
He is both intelligent and loyal." "Curiously enough," said von Holtz, "I neglected to place the man under arrest. I even forgot to report him. He is free." "Ah!" exclaimed Patsy, her eyes lighting. "I know a civilian here a bright young Belgian who is my friend and will do anything I ask of him," resumed von Holtz, still musingly.
Von Holtz, noting the uneasiness of his charges, discreetly forbore conversation and retired to a far corner where he hid behind a book. It was nearing evening when a commotion was heard on the stairs, followed by the heavy tramp of feet in the corridor. A sharp rap sounded on the door of their sitting room.
It was a howl of such loss, and of such unspeakable rage, that the hair at the back of Tommy's neck lifted, as a dog's hackles lift at sight of an enemy. "Keep your head down, Evelyn," said Tommy composedly. "I have an idea that the burning stuff gives off a lot of ultra-violet. Von Holtz was badly burned, you remember." Naked figures flashed forward from the jungle beyond the burned area.
