Suddenly, lifting his figure erect
and tense in the moonlight, he swept
a fierce gesture at the party above,
and darted, as still as the flight of an
arrow, straight to the spot where the

rauders to their feet, writes Leroy
Armstrong in Lippincott’s.

he grasped it with a promptness that
proved his mettle. Standing there
just where the lieutenant left him, he
stilled that savage cry of warning
with the first shot of'the midnight
fusillade; stood there as the officer
dashed past him. and shouted swift
commands to those who had not so
clearly caught the leader's plan of
action.
