Hello, there, Frank Merriwell, the younger! I'll make an athlete of you, you rascal! I'll give you such advantages to start with as I never had myself." "No matter what you give him, no matter what you do for him," murmured the happy mother, "he can never become a better or nobler man than his father." Frank kissed her again. "Where are Bart and Elsie, Frank?" asked Inza.
Merriwell's team came to bat, facing the handicap of seven runs. In the meantime at least twenty boys from the academy had gathered to watch the game. Gregory Carker appeared, escorting Inza, Elsie, Winnie Badger, Teresa Gallup, Mrs. Morton, and Juanita Garcia.
By mid-afternoon there were between two and three hundred skaters on the long pond, while half as many spectators were gathered on the shore. It was a lively and pleasant scene. Inza Burrage was there, with her chosen companion, May Blossom. Inza was a beautiful skater, and so was much sought as a companion by the boys.
Medford, Frank," said Inza, calling his attention to a smiling, middle-aged lady who sat near the open fireplace. Mrs. Medford was a relative of Inza's who often accompanied her as companion and chaperon. "Mrs. Medford," said Merry, hastening to clasp the smiling woman's hand, "I am delighted to see you again. I'm quite overcome with surprise and pleasure.
We'll have you looking like yourself in short order. Day after to-morrow we'll start for Chicago, stopping off a day at Niagara, as Inza Burrage and Elsie Bellwood will accompany us as far as St. Louis, and both wish to visit the falls. Fellows, it will be great sport! Makes me feel sort of bubbly and flushed all over." "You've mentioned only eight fellows in all," reminded Dick Starbright.
He called Joe and gave orders about supper, and soon the delightful odor of cooking fish came faintly to their nostrils. While supper was being prepared Frank related the story of the many adventures which had befallen him since he hastily left Maine in pursuit of the Mexican who had stolen one of his valuable papers. As she listened Inza flushed and paled by turns.
"According to all the stories I hear," put in Mrs. Medford, "I believe it best for you to get out of this wicked city just as soon as possible, Frank." Frank laughed. "If everything goes well," he declared, "we'll be ready to start by day after to-morrow." "Tell us just where you have been and what you have been doing," urged Inza. "I've been doing a little character work." "Character work?"
When he returned he explained that there was to be a masquerade dance at a pavilion used for dances and picnics down at the cottage village, and, having learned of the presence of guests at his cottage, invitations had been extended to them all. "Perfectly jolly!" cried Inza. "But we have no costumes." "Never mind that," said Mr. Hatch. "Without doubt there will be others in the same predicament.
"Look me in the eyes." Even in her frantic condition she could not disobey him. Tremblingly Elsie looked on, seeing Merry gaze intently into his wife's dark eyes. "Inza," said Frank, in that same calm, masterful tone, "you must be quiet. You must trust me. I've never failed you yet. I'll not fail you now. That is not our child, but I will find little Frank and bring him back to you. Sit here!"
You were again left alone, and in a moment I acted. I carried you away, but in the struggle your garment of white was torn from you, and it lies in the canoe that brought us to this spot. I have no doubt that my comrades will join me soon, and then we shall move again. By daybreak we will be safely hidden in one of the many safe places known to the Indian who is with me." Inza was desperate.
