The next shot will send you to kingdom come!" It was General Yozarro, who, catching the panic, whipped out his white silken handkerchief, and standing within arm's length of his prisoner, excitedly fluttered it aloft. "Cease firing!" commanded Major Starland; "they have surrendered!" The notice was in the nick of time.
It seemed to Anne presently that she had left the earth altogether, and was gliding upwards through starland without effort or conscious movement of any sort, simply as though lifted by the hands that held her own. Their vitality thrilled through her like a strong current of electricity. She felt that whichever way they turned, wherever they led her, she must be safe.
Both laughed over the insignificant incident, and Miss Starland took care as they descended that her own merriment continued. General Yozarro, thus warned, finished his imprecations, and met them with his usual smiles and graciousness. In his snowy suit, sombrero in hand, he was the acme of cool politeness and courtesy.
General Yozarro set his teeth, and took consolation in the thought: "General Bambos will give him to me and I will punish him; I will do the same with Captain Guzman for aiding the foul ingrate." But the Dictator never did either. Jack Starland was not the one to forget the service of his friends.

The other made no reply, but with the hand on the pulse of his patient, as may be said, he noted all the symptoms.
They were powerful enough to defy a battering ram, fitted with enormous locks and heavy bars that could be slipped into the massive iron receptacles. "Had that old buccaneer been given notice of the attack by his men," said Miss Starland, when the building had been inspected from top to bottom, "he might have shut himself in one of these rooms and bade them do their worst."
I have been reading to her Mary Proctor's "Starland," which by your thoughtful prompting she caused to be sent to me through her London publishers. I am so much obliged to you and to her for remembering the promise that I should have a copy. It is charming, and ought to have a wide sale... I must stop; Vida has come for my mail, and is going to the post-office on her bicycle. She and Mr.
