CHAPTER XIV.

These sleeping car adventures"
complained Ramon Solano, as they
disembarked at the Chicago station,
ARE somewhat wearing to the nerves.
| suggest, after this, that We either
walk or sit up in the day coach. Three
strikes and out, you know. Twice we
have been extremely lucky in Pullman

be bad for both of us"
Il agree with you," assented Brock

wouldn't mind going back by sea, if
such a trip is possible. You have

We can map out sea voyage to divert
ourselves during the afternoon"
Your cipher" said Solano, thought
fully, notified you that you would re-
ceive orders in Chicago, didn't it,"
Yes. So understood"
How will any orders be given US?
Where would We go to meet any mes
sage-bringer? How does any govern
ment agent know where to locate us?"
Brockett shook his head. All way
past my understanding, Ramon. All
know is that we are supposed to re-
ceive orders here-somebody, some
how, will hand them to US before we
leave Chicago. l am as certain OF
that as l am of-of-well, of eating
breakfast this morning. Remember
how we we're given the card in De-
troit? Some one will pass the newest
orders to US, and do it just as queer
ly."
"One thing sure, my boy" remarked
Solano, I'VE will have to wait around
Chicago till such time as orders reach
us. We can't proceed, helterskelter,
slipshod, taking long chances, and
start for Mexico this afternoon. No
chance to migrate till We have the
word"
Quite correct. Still, think the
next cipher message won't be long
delayed It will be in our hands with
in a very few hours. While waiting,
we can see the town, and incidentally
keep a sharp watch for our Filipino
friend"
The boys were more worried than
either of them would admit. Neither
had counted the vicious little Filipino,
Aguilar, as an active factor in the sit
uation. They were fairly well pre-
pared to deal with the willy Japanese
emissary, Yazimoto, or with the burly,
hot.tempered German, Baron Zollern,
but neither had for q 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-
ger-and the porter and conductor as
serted that no one even of brown
complexion had been aboard that
