It was June herself who relieved Frank's embarrassment by earnestly turning to him and beginning speech.
"Mr. Merriwell," she said, with such a sober face[Pg 230] that he was greatly surprised, "I have wanted to see you since you came into town."
"Then you knew I had entered town?"
"I saw you; and I have wanted to speak with you to warn you."
"To warn me?" said Frank. "Of what?"
"Of your great danger, for you are in danger here. You have in this town a man who would kill you."
"I think we lately parted from such a man," smiled Merry.
"But he is not the one."
"Is there another?"
"Oh, yes! I saw him! Perhaps I saved your life."
