Even as she sent a last lingering look at the prison the prisoner within, his head buried in his thin wasted hands, beheld her in a vision but in a happy, joyous vision, busying about the living room of the bungalow. And far away a younger man beheld a vision as very tenderly he gazed at Kathlyn's discarded robe and resumed his determined quest.
The ground will be damp and soft under it, and when we roll it back there will be no sign of its having been disturbed. I used to cache ammunition that way. Give me that spade." It was good to Kathlyn's ears to hear her father talk like this. At a depth of three feet the basket was lowered, covered and the boulder rolled into place.
At any rate, events so shaped themselves as to nullify whatever plans he had formed in his gold-dazzled brain. The colonel was tractable and fell in with Kathlyn's idea. It would have been nothing short of foolhardiness openly to have antagonized the rebellious men. "You have a plan, Kit, but what is it?" "I dare not tell you here. You are too excited.
Alone, the little sister would not be able to find her way out of the garden of brides. It was Kathlyn's idea to have Winnie pretend she needed air and sunshine and a walk in the garden after the doctor's visit. The rescue would be attempted from the walls.
Winnie flung her arms round her sister and drew her down. "My Kit!" "We must be brave whatever happens." "And am I not your sister?" quietly. "Do you believe in me so little? Why shouldn't I be brave? But you've always treated me like a baby; you never tried to prove me." Kathlyn's arms wound themselves tightly about the slender form. . . . And thus Umballa found them.
Quite contrary to her expectations, her leap was the best thing she could have done. Most of the barges were upset and the great beasts were blundering across the river between her and the barges. Bruce witnessed Kathlyn's brave attempt and dashed into the water after her. It took him but a moment to bring her to land, where her father clasped her in his arms and broke down again.
The fire followed with amazing rapidity and stopped only when it reached the bed of a trickling stream, no doubt a torrent during the big rains. A great pall of smoke blotted out everything in the rear; blotted out hope, for Bruce could never pick up the trail now. Kathlyn's eyes were feverishly dry and bright. It was only a matter of time when the howdah would slip down the brute's side.
"Dad, dad!" she whispered. "Don't you see our God is powerfulest? I believed I was going to be trampled to death, and here I am, with you once more." They hurried back as fast as Kathlyn's weakness would permit to where they had left their own elephants, doubting that they should find them, considering that it was quite probable that they had joined their wild brethren.
Instantly the chief of the brigands discovered that these new arrivals were none other than the white people who had given him and his men a superdrug and thereby mulcted them out of the sacred white elephant which was to have brought them a fortune. Unfortunately, the men of Kathlyn's party laid aside their weapons on approaching the cage to tear away the brush.
As the iron door changed upon the sill Colonel Hare leaned against the pillar and closed his eyes, praying silently. At the bungalow Pundita fell at Kathlyn's feet and kissed them. "Mem-sahib!" she cried brokenly. "Pundita!" Kathlyn stooped and gathered her up in her arms. After that Ramabai would have died for her under any torture.
