"I want you two men to come with me. Something odd has happened, and General Quinby and I want two witnesses as to what went on." "What happened, sir?" one of them asked.

"I wish you had left it alone." "Eleanor!" said Miss Isobel reprovingly. "He is doing it at my request. It is our young friend Quinby Graham." Quin wheeled about in dismay, and found himself face to face with a slender vision in shimmering blue and silver, a vision with flushed cheeks and angry eyes, who looked at him in blank amazement, then burst out laughing.

Down the slope, across the ravine, and up, on the other side, steadily presses Quinby, till he reaches the crest. He opens fire.

"We can't tell you how glad we are to see you," said Bert. "What lucky wind blew you so far from California?"
