Leaping
to
his
feet,
Kendrick
flailed
out
with
solid
fists
at
their
attackers.
Groans
answered
the
impacts
and
he
knew
his
blows
were
taking
effect.
Free
for
a
moment
he
dashed
to
Marjorie,
felt
for
the
midgets
who
swarmed
around
her.
Seizing
one
of
the
invisible
forms,
he
lifted
it
and
flung
it
crashing
to
the
ground.
Another,
likewise,
and
another.
Then
he
threshed
his
legs,
where
two
of
the
creatures
clung,
trying
to
drag
him
down
again.
They
flew
through
the
air,
with
cries
of
fright.
"Well,
so
far,
so
good!"
he
exclaimed.
"We
won't
wait
to
see
if
there
are
any
more.
Come
on--let's
go!"
"Right!"
Reaching
for
each
other's
hands,
they
raced
down
the
slope.
Halfway
there
they
saw
a
warning
blast
of
steam
rise
from
the
engine,
followed
by
a
whistle.
"They'll
be
pulling
out
in
a
minute
now!"
he
gasped,
increasing
speed.
"We've
got
to
make
it!--our
only
chance!"
"We
will
make
it!"
she
sobbed
through
clenched
teeth,
meeting
his
pace.
Glancing
over
his
shoulder,
after
another
fifteen
seconds,
Kendrick
saw
that
the
disc
was
no
longer
visible.
Since
there
was
no
vibration
he
realized
with
relief
that
it
was
now
hidden
behind
the
slope
they
were
descending.
"Quick--push
your
button!"
he
said,
pushing
his
own.
They
came
out
of
the
influence
of
the
invisibility
rays,
raced
breathless
on
down
the
slope--gained
the
station
platform
just
as
the
train
was
getting
under
way.
Helping
the
exhausted
girl
aboard,
he
mounted
the
steps
himself,
led
her
through
the
vestibule
into
its
single
passenger
coach.
