It seemed a safe bet that there would be no further trouble that night. In all probability if an uprising amongst the Mexican laborers had been planned it would not come off to-night. Bob was sure that the blowing up of the dam would have been the signal for the starting of general hostilities.

Mona utters a passionate cry of relief and joy. It is Geoffrey!The fact that Jerry was gone whirled in his head. He must find out where his comrade was. Looking down, he saw something which had escaped his first look. It was a black object bobbing about in an eddy off the main rush of the current. He could not be sure that it was Jerry.

He thought his mother’s face looked tired; but the smile there welcomed him warmly, and he forgot the tired look with her first words.,Miss Jinny had a queer look, Patricia thought, as she turned hurriedly away with a murmured excuse about the tea table.,"I should like it too. And it could be managed, couldn't it? I suppose I could get you a dress.",Somebody pokes the fire, until a crimson light streams through the room.
