His boyish knowledge and imagination, equal to many pictures of danger for the girl, did not extend to her captors. He never stopped to consider, nor would he have understood if he had, the plight of the criminals.

Now in his mind’s eye he could see men skulking in the brush, listening in rooms below, only waiting to pounce on May Nell the moment she smashed the window. Oh, yes, he must hurry—hurry! “There’s Mose allers ready fer a sitdown, a sort of kerlapsible verlise.” There was a strange weight in his left side, like lead.

He looked north to where clouds were shutting down over the Mountain, gray to-day, not blue.

“O Billy, he’s so beautiful and so clever; and he put his nose up to Flash so gratefully. Flash just mewed again, low as before, and walked off round the house. And Tom went and ate his breakfast.” “To the park!” Billy shouted, his heart thumping with joy. “Do you think fun the first business of the world?” “Will you please play it fer us then, it is so touchin’. You will find the music on the organ.”.
