Yes!" she cried, chokingly. "Tell me where is she? Have you seen my baby? Tell me! Tell me!" Evelyn said the thing quickest. "She is with my sister, and I think they are safe," she cried. The Princess gave a deep sigh and fainted quietly away. It was a long time before she recovered, and then she wanted to be told over and over all about little Rika.
The food, poisoned as Ivan knew it to be, stood temptingly between them, on the table. It was not an unpleasing meal. To Warren, who had not tasted solid food for two days, everything looked inviting. Ivan felt himself shaking with excitement. All was ready. The men unbarred the door, and the woman with a last sneering jest at the boys, picked up little Rika, while Michael lifted Elinor.
A rough looking woman came past, noticed them, and returned, looking as she did so at the house, and peering into the hall through the open door. Then she approached the children and in a, voice she tried in vain to make soft, she asked what they were doing, and who they were. Little Rika, who could say but few words, sat and stared at her with a frown. Elinor answered politely.
"I think we can do so safely at the railroad station. Let us go there." The day had been a time of torture for the two children. Elinor was so tired that she thought that she would fall at each step, but the relentless hand held her up and pulled her on. Rika, in the other woman's arms, had fallen asleep several times.
Russel, having no other address, would re-direct them back to Calcutta, and they may reach us here about Sunday, It is tantalizing, but I don't pine for news in Rika so much as in most places.

The men will soon return, and we will send them to your house where the boys and your little daughter will be waiting with my baby Rika. Oh, how can I ever be thankful enough to you for your goodness to her?" Professor Morris smiled. "Considering the fact that Miss Modjeska has saved all our lives," he said, "I think that you need feel under no obligations to us.
The Princess will send him in as soon as she comes. Isn't it like a fairy tale to think that we had little Rika all the time?" "I wish you would begin at the beginning and tell me all that happened after you were arrested," said Warren. "I have had such a lot of scraps." "All right," said Evelyn. She looked down at the little sister in her arms. "See," she said, "she has gone to sleep.
"It might be far worse," said Ignace cheerily. "We must start back to him tonight. Did you save any of the motor cars?" He turned to Michael. "Two, your Excellency," said the man. "They are hidden in a haystack down past the woods at the end of the estate. The large touring car, and your racer." "Good!" said Ignace; then suddenly, "Where is my little Rika?"
