"Good! Am I hurt much?"
"No; the blow didn't even break the skin, but it has raised a pretty
sizable bump on your head."
"All right, then. Help me up."
Chester lent a supporting arm, and Hal scrambled to his feet, where he
swayed dizzily for a few seconds. Then the dizziness passed, and he
walked toward the door with Chester.
Just as they were about to leave the room they stepped back to allow a
newcomer to enter. The newcomer was General Gallieni, and he advanced
with outstretched hands.
"You lads have proved your worth," he said, seizing each warmly by the
hand. "And now, if you will lead us to the den of the Apache
conspirators, your work will be finished."
"All right, General, follow us," said Chester.
He led the way downstairs.

Hal, still somewhat dizzy, followed close upon the heels of his friend,
and behind him came General Gallieni. In the street, at a command from
the general, the lads halted, and the military governor dispatched an
aide to summon a squad of cavalry.
