And from amid the ruins rose the gigantic form of a man。 His hair and beard were a fiery red; and he gazed at the desolation around him in absolute amazement。
It was the Red Rogue of Dawna; set free from his imprisonment。
He wandered out and found strange scenes confronting him; for during the hundred years a great change had taken place in the Enchanted Island。 Great cities had been built and great kingdoms established。 Civilization had won the people; and they no longer robbed or fought or indulged in magical arts; but were busily employed and leading respectable lives。
When the Red Rogue tried to tell folks who he was; they but laughed at him; thinking the fellow crazy。 He tried to get together a band of thieves; as Wul…Takim had done in the old days; but none would join him。
And so; forced to be honest against his will; the Rogue was driven to earn a living by digging in the garden of a wealthy noble; of whom he had never before heard。
But often he would pause in his labors and lean on his spade; while thoughts of the old days of wild adventure passed through his mind in rapid succession; and then the big man would shake his red head with a puzzled air and mutter:
〃I wonder who that Prince Marvel could have been! And I wonder what ever became of him!〃
