Merry was about to enter the building with Inza when another man appeared, approached the one who was working at the automobile, and impatiently questioned him in regard to the progress he was making. "There is Mr. Hatch," said Frank. "I'll speak to him. I'll join you inside in a few moments, Inza."
This was Frank Merriwell's deadly enemy, a monster who would hesitate at no crime in order to injure the youth he so bitterly hated. This was the man who had twice attempted to destroy the life of Inza Burrage. This was the man who had poisoned Watson Scott at the Waldorf and had nearly brought about the death of Warren Hatch in an automobile smash-up. Morgan had good nerves.
Then Lazaro stepped swiftly to one side, passed Merry, and entered the splendid hotel. Frank Merriwell and Inza Burrage were driving in Central Park the following forenoon. At this early hour there was not the great number of turnouts in the park that would be seen later when languid society came out for its airing.
The exposure of Gage's crookedness broke up the poker parties for that season, at least; and Frank was happy, for he had saved himself and rescued Hodge and Hans Dunnerwust. But he was happiest in receiving the approbation of Inza Burrage, who learned, through her brother, what Frank had done. "Sh!" "What's up?" "There's a carmine haze on the moon." "That's clear as mud! What's the racket?"
His voice was soft and musical, quite unlike the growling hoarseness of the wolf with whom Inza had conversed at the pavilion. A silent shadow slipped into the opening and stood near. It was the Indian. "Much dangerous business," he said. "You tell Ben you want to square old score with Merriwell man. Tell me be ready to take you quick away in canoe. No tell me you carry off gal."
Wat Snell and the two girls with whom he had been talking had witnessed the entire affair. They now came hurrying toward the spot. "The miserable cur!" cried Frank. "I will " "Don't touch him again!" urged Inza. "Oh, you struck him an awful blow!" In truth Frank had given Gage a heavy blow, and it was some seconds before the fellow made a move. Snell helped him sit up.
He lifted her bodily and placed her in a big easy-chair. Again he gazed intently into her eyes, and beneath that gaze she rapidly grew calmer. "You know I'll do what I have said I would, Inza you know it." "Yes," she huskily whispered, "I know it, Frank but I'm almost distracted I'm almost crazy! Don't lose a moment!" "Wait calmly and confidently when I'm gone. I'll have to leave you.
Hatch waved his hand and was soon lost to view down the splendid park road. Just as Merry was on the verge of entering the restaurant, Inza, pale and agitated, came hurrying to him. "That man is here!" she said, her voice shaking. "I don't know why he frightens me so. I was seated inside, glancing at a magazine, when I happened to look up, and there he stood not more than five feet away.
"They're in the library." "I want them to come up. Tell Lizette to call them." The soft-footed nurse flitted from the room, and a few moments later Elsie Bellwood and Bart Hodge appeared. Hodge followed Elsie with an air of reluctance and confusion, which caused Inza to smile.
Hans' effort at suave politeness as he bowed with his hand over his heart was most laughable. "Mine cootness! vos dot Inza Purrage?" he gurgled. "I used to think she vos der most peautiful girl vot efer seen me, but, so hellup me sour krout, she vos sixdeen times prettier-lookin' than efer!" "You're the same old flatterer, Hans," said Inza; "but you mustn't try to flirt with me now.
