"Can't you see it's coming this way ?" "It can't come fast enough to catch us," she answered impatiently.

Wait! I want to watch it for a minute." A bushy cedar tree ten feet away to their left suddenly burst into flame and burned viciously, each branch a sheet of fire.
"Well, what do you know about _that_ ?" cried Marion Rose.

"It jumped from away down there!" "Come on!" Pulling her by the arm, Jack began running again up the hill, leaving the road where it swung to the east and taking a short cut through the open space in the brush.

"Run!" he urged, still pulling at her arm.

"We've--got to--swing around it--" She ran with him, a little of their peril forcing itself upon her consciousness and making her glance often over her shoulder.
