Yes. So l understood"
How will any orders be given us?
Where would we go to meet any mes

ment agent know where to locate us?"
Brockett shook his head. All way
past my understanding, Ramon. All
I know is that we are supposed to re-
ceive orders here-somebody, some
how, will hand them to us before we
leave Chicago. 1 am as certain OF
that as l am of-of-well, OF eating
breakfast this morning. Remember
how we were given the card in De-

Zone thing sure, my boy" remarked
Solano, 1--WE will have to wait around
Chicago till such time as orders reach

start for Mexico this afternoon. No
chance to migrate till we have the

Quite correct. Still, l think the
