Thus it happened that the party at Warren Hatch's cottage received an invitation. Mrs. Medford was tired; she would not attend the dance; but she offered to assist the girls in getting up their costumes. "Costumes!" cried Inza. "Where will we find them? We'll have to go without special preparation in that line. Frank and Bart are the lucky ones." "Come with me," smiled Mrs.
Approaching the iron railing, they leaned on it and gazed in continued and increasing wonderment. They were now where they could hear something of the continuous thunder of the falls, and at intervals a little of the spray fell in misty rain upon them. "Oh, see!" breathed Inza, grasping Frank's arm. "Look at the beautiful rainbow."
"A fine baby, Frank," said Berlin, as he stood looking at the child. "You ought to be proud of him." "No peacock was ever prouder," laughed Merry. "We hope to make a star of him, eh, Inza?" "Oh, the star the birthmark!" exclaimed Inza. "Can't you show it to Mr. Carson without waking the baby, Maggie?" "Oi kin try, ma'am."
Merry had wondered that Del Norte's late companions should make such a move; but now, knowing the Mexican's passion for her, the motive of her capture was clear. The thought of Inza in the hands of that villain fired Frank's blood.
"Give them a hint of a surprise in store for them, and they'll badger you to death until they spoil the surprise. Let's take flight, Bart. Let's get away before the girls coax it out of us." He snatched a kiss and sprang down the steps, followed by Hodge. "I think you're real mean!" cried Inza. "You just wait and see if I don't play it back on you!
Among his treasures was a medal of honor presented to him by Congress for twice saving the life of Inza Burrage, a pretty girl who lived in Fardale, and whose brother, Walter, was a cadet at the academy.
"Ah, Inza! you are not like other girls." "Oh, yes, I am!" she laughed. "You think I am not, but I am. Perhaps I am a trifle too old for my years, as papa often says; but the terrible dangers you have rescued me from have been quite enough to add something to my age." "In the face of every danger you have been brave as few girls could have been." "That's flattery."
"I don't know as you will be pleased to hear it," said Gage, with an attempt at great apparent sincerity, "for it is about your friend, Frank Merriwell, and you will not like to hear anything unpleasant of him." Inza drew herself up proudly. "You cannot tell me anything of Mr. Merriwell that will make me think less of him," she declared, her dark eyes flashing.
"Inza," said Frank, "I no longer feel it absolutely necessary to make all haste back to Mexico. I shall take my time about it. The reports from the mine are favorable, and everything is progressing well. Hodge and Browning will return to the city to-morrow. They both expect that I'll be ready to start straight for Mexico. They'll be surprised to find I have it fixed so there is no need of haste."
Do you think I would do such a thing, Inza?" "The name that pleases you will please me," she declared. "What shall it be, my husband?" "Why not the name of my most faithful friend? Why not call him Bartley Hodge Merriwell?" "If that satisfies you, he shall be called by that name." Somehow Frank fancied he detected a touch of disappointment in her voice.
