She realized the peril of any attempt she could make to save Inza, and she boldly took the risk.
A hundred voices were screaming at the big brute, which crouched with undulating tail and open jaws; but not another person seemed to be moving toward Elsie to render her assistance, with the exception of Frank Merriwell.
He saw the girl pick up the iron goad.

Then Elsie Bellwood leaped between the tiger and Inza.

As she did so she lifted the goad.

The tiger turned its attention from Inza to Elsie, and the latter struck at it, as if the goad were a spear.
Frank Merriwell heard the click of a revolver at his side.

He saw a man shakily lifting it.
"Permit me!" he gasped, and plucked it from the man's hand.
The revolver went up, flashing for a moment in the sunshine.
