Then, with that indescribable light in his eyes, he gazed long and fondly at the babe. "It's a boy, Inza!" he murmured. "Just as you wished!" "Just as I wished for your sake, Frank," she said. "I knew you wanted a son. This is the happiest moment of my life, for I have given him to you." "A son!" exclaimed Frank softly, as he straightened up and threw his splendid shoulders back.
"Aren't you glad to see us?" demanded Inza. "If you're not, we'll go right away," said Elsie. "Glad!" cried Frank. "I'm speechless with delight. But I don't understand it yet."
Then Merry lived over once more his knife duel with Del Norte on the cliff, the escape from the cave, and the struggle to get away from the landslide, when, with superhuman efforts, he had carried Inza in his arms to a place of safety. "Del Norte is dead," he muttered; "but he seems to be reincarnated in Felipe Jalisco. I have not seen the last of Jalisco. That man Hagan is dangerous, too.
The whole thing can be arranged somehow if you care to go. Where there's a will there's a way, you know." "Oh, say," grunted Browning, "count me out. I'm no dancer. Besides that, I'm tired." "The same old complaint," laughed Frank. "What do you think about it, Elsie?" "If Inza wishes to go, I'm ready," answered Elsie. "We might have a good time."
He reached her, swung out with one long stride to the rock, stooping and clutching her just as she must have been swept away. His fingers closed on her arms with a grip like iron. He swung her to her feet and flung her into the hollow of his left arm. Then he turned and leaped back to the solid ground. Inza had not fainted. She was limp and nerveless, but still conscious.
"I'm afraid this terrible adventure will spoil your enjoyment here, Inza," said Mrs. Medford. "Not at all," was the answer. "It's all over now, and we'll forget it. What shall we do next?" It was agreed that the proper thing was to resume their trolley ride around the gorge, and so they took the next car bound down the river. This ride was one that none of them could ever forget.
She refused to permit any one to remain with her, urging and commanding them all to see everything worth seeing. "A human being would have absolutely no chance if ever caught in the edge of that current," said Hodge. "The instant he was swept off his feet he would be doomed." "It's fascinating, fascinating!" exclaimed Inza. "I almost seem to feel something pulling me toward the water."
After dinner he accompanied Frank and Inza to see the baby. Little Frank was sound asleep, and one of the maids was watching over him. "Where's Lizette, Maggie?" asked Inza. "Th' poor crather do have a headache," answered Maggie. "She axed me would Oi look afther th' choild whoile she rested a bit." "A headache? That's strange. Lizette has told me she never had an ache or a pain in all her life."
That he was watching Frank quickly became evident, but he slowly walked away when he saw he was observed. "What a villainous-looking creature he is!" said Inza, in a flutter of alarm. "How could you tell at that distance when it is so dark?" half laughed Frank. "Oh, it was his general appearance his black clothes, and that strange cloak and cape."
Between Inza and Frank the slight misunderstanding was easily adjusted, and May, in her innocent little heart, had never dreamed of "cutting out" her friend. She and Paul Rains afterward became very friendly.
