"That's the exit from this tunnel," explained Mr. Dalton.
They left the passage among some rocks in the grounds above the house, and saw Lizzie Dalton near by.
She sat on a log gazing away toward the big swamp with a sad expression upon her pretty face.
Mr. Dalton became excited.
"Lizzie!" he shouted hoarsely.
She sprang to her feet as if electrified, glanced around at him with a joyful look beaming all over her face, and cried emotionally:
"Oh, papa!"
The next moment they rushed into each other's arms, and kissed and wept over each other, their hearts too full for utterance.
The Bradys turned away from the affecting scene.
