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. ; rea "I have been a very silly fellow !” he an thought.
