CHAPTER VII.

The journey north was made without
special incident, and the time was spent
in figuring out as complex and ramifed
a route as possible With railroad maps
and timetables, the boys outlined a tour
that would twist and turn like a collec-
ton Of SIS, and, yet. even with due allow
ance for delayed trains and possible inter-
walls on foot or on horseback, would land
them at Rancho Nogal within the time
limit set by their superiors Neither OF
the youngsters was so optimistic as to
expect a smooth. uninterrupted journey,
and each, es- he. speculated upon the
chance OF trouble, was mentally thankful
for the presence Of the strong. nervy.
capable youth beside him.
Brockett, with a good-sized map in
hand, drew out pencil, and began
marking down a few lines OF connection.

CHAPTER VII.

SoIano must have conspired with the
sun. for he appeared at Brockett's home
the next morning before the day had
fairly dawned. The Cuban was unable
TO surprise his friend, however-Harry
had been stirring for an hour. and was
fully equipped for the journey when Ra-
mons ring was heard. Farewells were
quickly said. Mrs. Brockett and Bertha
.braveIy struggling to keep back the tears
that insisted on coming to the surface,
and the youngsters were soon upon their
way-messengers Of peace or war, guar
dams of a nations secret documents, and
keepers of a cipher that was destined to
bewiIder the abIest interpreters Of Ger
many and Of Japan.
Brockett had figured on catching the
earliest morning train to New York. and
the boys further agreed that instead Of
riding clear through to the new termi-
mails in the metropolis, they would drop
on in Jersey City, spend an hour in
circIing round that busy burg. and then
take one OF the ferries to Manhattan,
thus bafiing any enemies who might be
tipped to await them at the great rail-
road station. They were blocking out ad-
ditional plans when they were suddenly
intercepted by a huge man of rather
more than middle age-a gigantic Ger
man, white of mustache and shaggy as
to brows-a Bismarck come TO life, and
doubled in his bulky power.
The immense German came lettering
down the street. almost deserted at this
early hour, and almost collided with So

he beamed upon the youngsters, who had
advanced with ready hands to aid him.
and leaned for an instant upon Brockett's
shoulder.
Il tank you, young man, for de help"
spoke the German. "Ach, but II iss bad
ven you grow oldt, und de abbroach of
age tells on de bones! Son, I belief mein
tie iss disarranched. VIII you atchust

Brockett promptly began a process of
first aid to the injured tie, when the huge
German, seizing him with a hand whose
grip showed no trace of feeble age,
emitted a loud below of ''Bolice! Bo-
lice! Robbers! Robbers!"
The astounded Brockett strove to break
Germans clutch was one of steel Strong
deadly wrestle in old days in the Father
land. The Baron Zollern had been a man
of might In Prussia, and round the camp
fires Of the German army they still tell
stories Of his tremendous deeds. Brockett
