  The Nobles Are Coming by Arthur Jean Cox - Together they discussed the Nobles—the old prospector and the weary, frightened man. Then—utter terror struck! 
  I rested on reaching what seemed to be the top of the incline, and leaned back against the wall of the cave. For a moment the silence was unbroken. And then in the darkness there was a whisper of movement, an unseen stirring that was stilled by my involuntary, voiceless cry, "What's there!" 
  With only a blurred memory of having reached for it, I found my gun in my hand. 
  "Don't shoot!" said a burry voice. "Allow me to introduce myself: Mister J. J. Abrogado, A-b-r-o-g-a-d-o, Serbo-Croat prospector, at your service!" 
  I lowered the gun hesitantly, letting it waver in the general direction from which the voice came. It was a strange introduction, but the possessor of the voice must have been as frightened by my bursting suddenly into the cave as I had been on finding it already occupied. 
  "What are you doing here?" I asked. 
  "That's supposed to be my question," said Mister J. J. Abrogado. "Who are you? And what was it that frightened you?" 
  "Sorry," I apologized. "My name's Ross. I'm an archeologist. I was on a trip alone in my ground car when it broke down. Being no mechanic, I couldn't fix it. I decided to walk back to Marsport. I walked all day and most of this night, when—Well, listen!" 
  I bent my head to one side. Through the earphones of my headwarmer I could hear from far away a vague presentiment of movement, a dim blur upon the horizon of sound. 
  "The nightrunners," said Abrogado in recognition. "I thought it might have been something else that frightened you." There was an unspoken question in his silence. 
  "What?" I asked, wondering. 
  The cave was like a bottle of blackness. I could see nothing of my companion, not even his head and shoulders which must have been thrust rather sharply forward.

  Meet the rebels, robbers, radicals, determined teenagers, and ordinary Americans who shaped our Constitutional rights.  
    
  The first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution—known as the Bill of Rights—include the guarantee that no person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Yet this soaring vision of human rights was written by enslavers who deprived others of these rights. The struggle to resolve this paradox continues to the present day. 
    
  From Teri Kanefield comes the story of the Bill of Rights, from the founding of America to the first sedition laws, slavery, women’s equality, the Civil War, Prohibition, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, the Civil Rights movement, gun control, and more. 
    
  Using real court cases, Kanefield explains the meaning of each of the first ten amendments. The result is the story of Americans who have tested the limits of their rights or demanded that their rights be recognized. 
    
  With thought-provoking text, Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals explores how our rights have evolved as the nation grew and changed. 
    
  "A compelling exploration of the Bill of Rights that weaves together landmark cases, historical narratives, and reflections on the paradoxes of liberty … The clear prose guides readers through complex constitutional principles, making this work a useful educational resource … insightful, thought-provoking, and timely."—Kirkus Reviews
