The boys were more worried than
either of them would admit. Neither
had counted the vicious little Filipino,

but neither had for a minute made
any calculation involving the brown
fellow from Luzon. The affair in the
sleeper. when the dummy arranged
by Brockett had been stabbed with
Aguilar's keen-bladed knife, was like
a bombshell to them, and their wor-
ries were intensified by the fact that
no trace Of the would-be murderer
could be found. Nobody even re-
sembling the little Filipino had left
the train in the morning-the boys
had scrutinized every outgoing passen-

perfected biplane. 1t halted suddenly
at the level of the transom, and the
hand clutching the garment, while an
other lean brown hand vanished into
the inner recesses of the pockets. And
then Brockett, with one wild yell,
flung himself out of bed, charged
across the room, and tore madly at
the chair he had himself placed
against the knob as additional protec-
ton. His coat fell squarely on his
head as he clawed at the chair, blind
ing him for moment; the chair was
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 hurrtedly
to the room, Brockett caught up his
coat and ran q 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.

a cross-hall. The large, middle-aged
man, with surprising quickness and
dexterity, harpooned each of them

from the blanket-roll that had simu-
