Judy's rescuer whirled, to see the man on the ground drawing a gun. A vigorous, well-directed kick, delivered in the nick of time, sent the gun whirling away into the bushes and rendered the native's right arm useless. "Get up!" commanded Brian. The man rose to his feet, and stood nursing his damaged wrist and scowling at Judy's companion. "Are you this girl's father?"
'You mean you weren't frightened? 'There's nothing to be frightened at. She was actually saying it in a soothing, 'motherly' sort of way, calculated to steady the lady's nerves reassuring the rescuer. Vida's eye fell on the festoon of braid falling from the dark cloth skirt. 'Well, the polite attentions of your friends seem to have rather damaged your gown.
For this romantic and very pretty girl had set King Theodoret to pestering Manuel with magniloquent offers of what Theodoret would do and give if only the rescuer of Megaris would put aside his ugly crippled wife and marry the King's lovely sister. Manuel laughed at him.
Dinsmore and Donald seized the captain and dragged him out of harm's Way, other hands doing a like service for the woman. She was shrieking and groaning, but her rescuer neither spoke nor moved. They took him up, carried him out of the crowd, and laid him gently down upon a sofa; one of the articles of furniture saved from the fire. "Poor fellow!" sighed Donald with emotion.
While in the African penal settlement the daughter of a Spanish officer fell in love with him. She assisted in his escape and fled with him to Gibraltar. There he married his rescuer. She is of Spanish and Moorish descent, and is said to be a lady of education and refinement. She taught her husband to read and write and feels unbounded pride in his achievements.
He was now no errant rescuer, but a properly elected leader of fellow beings in distress. While one of the students held his horse, he took the dragoman for another consultation with the captain of the battery. The officer was sitting on a large stone, with his eyes fixed into his field glasses.
"Take it easy, boys, take it easy," counseled their rescuer. "And better come a bit farther away from the fire. The whole place is going, and the wind's blowing strongly this way. We're too much in line with it." He spoke the truth. The boys were enveloped, part of the time, in a haze of smoke and a swirl of burning brands.
Best have only one of the Pooles in it; take Amos. He shall wear a mask and be the bold rescuer; he shall open the cell door, whisper 'Mitchell' to Johnson, and help him escape. Once out, without taking off his mask, Amos can hide Johnson somewhere. I leave you to perfect these details. Then, after discarding his mask, Poole can give the alarm.
He could not hurry by unheeding. Guided by the calls, he turned aside from his course and made his way through the choking storm across the prairie. The cries came nearer, and Fred shouted in reply words of impatient encouragement. No rescuer ever went to his work with a worse grace. A large, dark object loomed faintly through the driving storm.
"He is one of our crew belongs to the Stars and Stripes," said the American, arresting Salvé, who, as long as he got out of this accursed town now, did not care in what capacity it might be, and offered no opposition. "You have not improved your beauty, my lad," said his rescuer, derisively, as he held up the light to his face.
