She caught him in her strong arms, eased him to the ground and knelt there with his red head in her lap, showering his face with her kisses and her tears. It was thus that "Borax" O'Rourke, badly blown after his three-hundred- yard dash, found them. "Great snakes, young lady, what's happened?" gasped Mr. O'Rourke.
