And old Donald, clasping his great arms about Aldous, cried brokenly: "Oh, Johnny, Johnny--something told me to foller ye--an' I was just in time--just in time to see you go into the coyote!" "God bless you, Mac!" said Aldous, and then Paul Blackton was wringing his hands; and one after another the others shook his hand, but Peggy Blackton was crying like a baby as she hugged Joanne in her arms.
"MacDonald came just in time," explained Blackton a moment later; and he tried to speak steadily, and tried to smile.

"Ten minutes more, and----" He was white.
"Now that it has turned out like this I thank God that it happened, Paul," said Aldous, for the engineer's ears alone.

"We thought we were facing death, and so--I told her.

I want the minister--as quick as you can get him, Blackton.
Don't say anything to Joanne, but bring him to the house right away, will you ?" "Within half an hour," replied Blackton.
