The youth had made a desperate fight, had killed one of the outlaws, and after being wounded in the conflict had been carried off bodily. Wabi and his captors could not be more than two or three miles away. A quick pursuit would probably overtake them within an hour. Mukoki came to Rod's side. "Me follow kill!" he said. "Me kill so many quick!" He pointed toward the four trails. "You stay "
His gun unwaveringly pointed at the captain, Com Officer Clark reached down and flipped the red switch that turned off the power to all of the ship intercoms. On board Hot Rod, the Security crew was working against an accelerated time-schedule now. The aiming controls of Hot Rod's big mirror were infinitely precise and correspondingly slow.
At the end of the third hour, by which time he figured that he had made at least ten miles, Wabi sat down to rest, and to refresh himself with the lunch which he had taken from the camp that morning. He was surprised at Rod's endurance. That Mukoki and the white boy were still three or four miles ahead of him he did not doubt, unless they, too, had stopped for dinner.
"This is an outrage, and " "Is this the fellow, Al?" asked the spokesman, interrupting the young brakeman's vehement protest. "Of course it is. I'd know him anywhere by that bag slung over his shoulders, an he's got pistols in his pockets, too." "Yes, here they are," replied the leader, thrusting his hands into Rod's coat pockets and drawing forth the two revolvers.
Rod's confidence was the chief thing that kept up the spirits of the treasure seekers during the next few days, for not the first sign of gold was discovered above the fall. Yard by yard the prospectors worked up the chasm until they had washed its sands for more than a mile.
This solution of the difficulty lifted a dampening burden from Rod's heart, and when the little party began its descent into the wilderness regions under the mountain the city lad carried the rifle, for Wabi insisted that he have the first "turn." Once free of the rock-strewn ridge the two boys joined forces in pulling the toboggan while Mukoki struck out a trail ahead of them.
Often when she was more than usually confused he would try to clear the cobwebs from her brain by gently questioning her until she brought herself back to a clearer understanding of her own thought. Thus far her vagaries had never made her unjust to any human creature; she was uniformly sweet and gentle in speech and demeanor. "Why do you talk of Rod's visiting us when he is one of the family?"
In another moment the three wolf hunters were together, silently wringing one another's hands, the death-like pallor of Rod's face and the tense lines in the bronzed countenances of Mukoki and Wabigoon plainly showing the tremendous strain they had been under. "You shoot?" whispered Mukoki. "No!" replied Wabi, his eyes widening in surprise. "Didn't you shoot?" "No!"
Britt told me this morning before you came." "Did you ask her?" "Yes." Rod's heart gave a little flutter of pleasure. So this beautiful girl had been thinking of him, and had even asked about his name. It made him feel happy all over. Just then Parson Dan appeared in the doorway. "My, what a great talking time you young people have had," he exclaimed.
Nicholls was at his side. "A normal pulse," he said, smiling into Rod's enquiring face. "You're a wonder. What do you think of that, nurse?" "I expected that," she said, smiling. "You've behaved so well," continued the doctor, "that I believe you're able to receive two pieces of good news." "My father," whispered Roderick. The doctor nodded happily. "A telegram came half-an-hour ago.
