"By the jumpin' Jehosaphat, I believe Paul would have gone if Jack
hadn't. He's lookin' at that house now like he wanted to run right in
and tear it to flinders."

"There he is at the window!" whooped a man's heavy voice.

Instantly every eye ranged along the front of the building, wherever the
columns of smoke permitted. And many a finger was pointed at the one
where a waving hat served to draw attention.

"He's shouting something. Keep still, everybody!"

A dead silence immediately ensued. Only the roaring and crackling of the
hungry flames could be heard, as every ear was strained to catch what
it was the imperiled boy was saying.

"He's got the baby--look! he's holding her up!"

A shriek came from the agonized mother, and she fell on her knees with
clasped hands.

"Listen to what he says!"

"Go to back of house--get ladder to window there!" called Jack huskily,
at the top of his voice.
