! CHAPTER- XXX: e
IN WHICH PH:IDEAS FOQG DOES HIS DUTY.
Three passengers; including Pastieiiar-
tout, had disappeared. Had they been
killed in the light? Were they taken
priseners beethe Sioux? As yet it eduld
not be told.
The wounded were quite aumerowl,
but none mditally. The one Most seri-
ously.hurt Was Colonel Proctor,
who had
fought bravely, and who fell struck by a
ball ite the „groin. !' He was: ettrriecl, to
the station With the other passengers,
whose. _condition dernande(1-immediate
care. .
Mrs. Aouda WWI safe. Phileas Fogg,
who had not spared himself, jia,d not a
scratch. Fix- was wounded in the arm
-but it was an unimportant wound.. But
Passepartont was iniesing, and fears
flowed, from the young woman's eyes. I
Meanwhile, all the passengers had left
the train. The wheels Of the cars vrere
stained with bleed. To the )nibs and
spokes hung ragged pieces of flesh. As
far as the eye could reach long red trails
were seen on the white plain. The last
Indians .were thendisappearing in •the
south, along the hanks of Reptiplican
river. , 1 • ,
Mr. Fogg, with folded 'arms, stood
motionless. He had a serious decision to
make. Mrs. Aouda, .near him, lee ed
at him without uttering a word. He
understood her look. If his servant' as
a prisoner ought he not to risk everything
to rescue him from the Indians? .
"I will find him dead or alive," he Said
simply to Mrs. Aouda: '
,"Ah ! Mr. Fogg --Mr, Fogg !" cried
the young woman, seizing her companipu's
hands and covering them with tears.
"Alive !" added Mr. Fogg, "if we.
••
not lose a minute 1" ,
With this resolution PhileasFoggsabri-
ficed himself entirely. He had test pro-,
nounced his ruin. A single day's delay,
would make him miss the steamer from
• New YOrk. His bet would be irrevocab-
ly lost. Bat in the face of the thought,
"It is my duty he dal not hesitate.
The captain commanding Fort Kear-
ney was there. His soldiers -about a
hundred men -had put themselves on
the defensive in the event of the Sioux
making a direct attack tipon the eta -
tion. !
"Sir" said Mr. Fogg to the captain,
"three passengers have disappeared,"
Killed" asked the eaptain,
"Killed or ,prisoners, replied Mr.
Fogg. "That is an uncertainty which
we must bring to an end. It is your
intention to pursue the Sioux ?"
"It is a grave matter, sir," said the
captain. "These Indians may fly beyond
the Arkansas! I could not abandon the
fort entrusted to me."
"Sir," replied Phileas Fogg, Pit is a
-question of thelife of three men."
"Doubtless -bet can I risk the life Of
fifty to sav-e three?" ,
"I do not know whether you can, lent
you ought." •
"Sir, replied the captain, "no one
herehas the right to tell me - what my,
duty is."
• "Let it be so !" said -Phileas Fogg,
coldly, "I will go alone !"
"You; sir !" cried Fix, who approach-,
ed, "go alone in pursuifeof the Indians I".
"Do you wish nee then to allow, to
perish the unfortuhate men to whom
every one of us that is living owes his
life? I shall go." - 3
"Well, no, you shall not go` alone 1"
cried the captain, mored in spite of him-
self. "No! You are a brave heart!
Thirty volunteers !" he added, turning
, to his soldiers.
The whole company advanced in a
body. The captain had to select from.,
these brave fellows. Thirty soldiers
were picked out, and an old sergeant put
at their head-. - '
"Thanks Captain !" said Mr. Fogg.
"You will permit, me to accompany
you ?"Fix asked the gentleman.
"You will do as you please," replied.
Phileas Fogg: "But if you wish to do
me e service, you will remain by Mrs.
Aouda. In ease anything should happen
• to me-"
A sudden pelmets overcast the detec-
tive's face. To separate himself from
the man whom he had followed step by
• step and with so much persistence! To
let him venture so much in the desert.
Fix- looked closely at the gentleman, and
whatever he may have thought, in spite
of his prejudices, in spite of his inward.
ealtruggle, he dropped his eyes before that
'quiet, frank look,
"I will remain," he said.
• A few moments after, Mr. Fogg press-
ed the young woman'slhand ; then, hav-
ing placed in her care his precioud
travelling hag, he set out with the
sergeant and his little band.
13ut before starting, he said to the
soldiers :-
"My friends, there are five thousand
dollars for; you if you save the prison-
ers !" -•
It was then a few minutes paat noon.
Mrs. Aouda retired into a sitting
room of the station, and there, alone, she
waited, thinking of Phileas Fogg, his ,
simple and grand generosity, his quiet
courage. Mr. Fogg had sacrificed his
fortune and now he was staking his life
'-and-all this without hesitationfrom a
sense of duty, stithout words. Phileas.
Fogg, was a he,ro in her eyes.
"The deteetive (Fix) was not thinking
thus, and he could!, not restrain his agita-
tion. He walked:, feverishly up and
down the platform of the station, one
moment vanquished, he became himself
heee, again. Fogg having gone, he eompre-
-teehended his foolishness in letting him go.
What! Had he consented to be Separat-
ed from the man that he had just been
following around the world! His natur- .
al dtsposition got the ' upper hand, he th
criminated and accused himself ; he ling
treated himself as if he had been the
director of the Metropolitan police re- ihal
proving an agent caught at ravery green„ a,
trick.

"I have been a very silly fellow !” he an
thought. "The other fellow will have 80U

He did not know what to db. Some-

What course should he take ? He was

not seem impossible for him to find him.
