CHAPTER v

Baron Zollern had been a mighty
his strength and his tremendous deeds
were table-talk from Mainz to Dantzic,
and it was eve said that his great
c~ountryman, Eugene Sandow, would
have found It no easy task to cope
with the baron in physical achieve
ment. The baron, however, was now
in the position Of a man who tries to
hold q wildcat with each hand, n
even his strength might have proved
insufficient to restrain the kicking,
smuggling captives had not half a dozen
husky acknowledgements, every one
of them-sprung up as IL by magic all
around the trio. Surrounded and out-
numbered, the boys had sense enough
to quit fighting, and stood gasping, dis
heveled, glazing at the baron and his
retinue. Zollern, still smiling, in spite
of painful bruises on shins and coun-
tenance, eyed the prisoners for a mo-
ment and her spoke In a tone OF the
utmost friendship and good-humor.
Ivy so unruly, young chentlemen?
Vat hat | efer done dot you should be
SO abusif?"
"You have done enough" snapped
Brockett, ito get yourself put away
for years to come-you have proved
yourself a German spy, and even this
country doesn't deal very gently with
that kind Of yellow dogs. Give me
back my messages, and let me go, or
you'll know what a jail looks like
from the inside"
Baron Zollern laughed amusedly.
How could l." he gurgled, "gif you

und den We will see apout Citing dem

"You are a liar" snarled Solano.
"The papers were stolen not five min
utes ago and you have them in your
pocket now"
mo, no, aber nit" chuckled the
baron. "Gif me time. De bapers will
be here, in mein own fiddle hand, in a
few minds, but Wy andicibate? Two
off you men search de clodings Of
desc young men, und bring me vat
effer documents dere may be con-
cealed derein."
You don't need to search" said
Brockett. Some of your thieves took
the papers from my coat a few min
utes ago. Ffshed for them over the
transom, and got them. 1t was a nice
trick-one I suppose I ought to give
you credit for"

clumsy and hard to handle, the lock
stuck, gripped the key like a thing
Of malice and hostile wishes, and
when Brockett, clad only in the chaste
garb Of slumber, finally burst into the
hall, with Solano at his heels, not a
soul was visible. Retreating hurriedly
to the room, Brockett caught up his
coat and ran a trembling hand into
the pockets. They were empty-se-
cret messages and cipher, all were
gone
Stopping only to draw on a few
necessary garments, the boys, white
faced, almost sobbing, flung them
selves into the hall, and sprinted to-
WARDS the elevator. AS they rushed
frantically forward, they smashed
heavily into a large, middle-aged gen.
tleman who was Just turning in from
a cross-hall. The large, m~iddle-aged
man, with surprising quickness and
dexterity, harpooned each of them
with a huge and mighty hand, and,
smiling amiably, held them unwilling
prisoners.
"Vy in sooch a hurry, mein young
frents?" laughingly spoke the Baron
Zollern.

could take dem forcibly-but fish for

Zollern's men emerged from the
room, bearing whatever clothing
,Brockett and Solano had left behind.
They reported that nothing Of any in
terest had been found, and a quick
search of the prisoners turned up no
papers Of any special value. Baron
Zollern's face wore q bewildered look,
and began to cloud portentously as
he turned upon his captives.
"You hat hidden de bapers," he
purred, %ominously. "Berhaps We can
find ways und means to induce you to
discofer dem?"
II have told you. you German sneak
thief" snarled Brockett, how the pa
pers were stolen. Ask your. men
which one Of them went ASKING

Baron Zollern walked over to the
door of the room where the boys had
slept. He studied the panels, the

CHAPTER XVIII.

Just what happened between the
moment when the big negro brought
out the money-belt and the moment
when a full understanding of every
day affairs came back to Brockett and
Solano, neither Of those young men
could fully detail. There had been q
cyclone, closely followed by an earth
quake, after which the roof had fallen
in, burying them under the timbers-
at least, that was how they figured ID
all out when they began to sit up and
take notice again. They found them
selves In a dark, almost pitch-black
region of obscurity and silence, with
a wooden settee sustaining their
weight and a stone floor echoing to
their heads aching fearfully, while suns,
dry bruised spots On their backs, ribs
and shins demanded consolation. It
was so dark in their new quarters that
they could not see themselves or each
other, but each of them felt himself
strangely soiled and dirty.
How do you find yourself, Ramon?"
queried Brockett, striving to peer
across a few inches Of midnight gloom
at his companion.
Somewhat battered on the head;
somewhat damaged in the ribs and
knees; considerably mussed up as to
clothing, and. apparently, in JAIL" re,
turned the Cuban. Otherwise I think
l am all right and perfectly happy,
Who pushed the building over on US,
anyhow"
II haven't the slightest idea," rue,
fully responded Brockett. "All I can
remember is making one grab at that
negro. while you tried to seize the belt,
Then things seemed to go round and
round, and I began to look through q
big telescope at the evening stars,
Did things impress You that -way7"

horror-stricken visage. He had been
bafled at his w game, and, in the
very trap he had prepared, had been
beaten to the prize by some unknown
scoundrel. Brockett, heartsick and
desperate, could almost sympathize, In
the midst of his own troubles. with the
disappointed Teuton. For several min
utes Baron Zoilern, clenching and UNI
clenching his hands, the notified col
ors playing back and forth across his
face, leaned heavily against the wall.
Then he shook himself together, and
forced a grim smile to his lips.
Il blamed it veil, young chenille
men," said he. "You wonder how 1t
vos dot l could do such tings in dis

Cant say we are sorry for your

question is-what are you going to do

shoulders. Il belief" said he, dot We
musd gone to a COMPROMISE. You

"In all probability" cut in Brockett,

"All of which," said Ramon Solano,

for five minutes before he spoke.
