CHAPTER VII.

Solano must have conspired with
the sun, for he appeared at Brock
ett's home the next morning before
the day had fairly dawned. The Gu
ban was unable to surprise his friend,
however-Harry had been stirring for
an hour, and was fully equipped for
the journey when Ramon's ring was
heard. Farewells were quickly said.

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,
guardians of a nations secret docu-
ments. and keepers of a cipher that
was destined to bewilder the ablest
interpreters OF Germany and of Japan.
Brockett had figured on catching the
earliest morning train to New York,
and the boys further agreed that. in
stead of riding clear through to the
new terminals In the metropolis, they
would drop of in Jersey City, spend
an hour in circling round that busy
burg, and then take one of the fer
ries to Manhattan, thus battling any
enemies who might be tipped to await
them at the great railroad station.
They were blocking out additional
plans, when they were suddenly in

Sounds great to me-" said Brockett.

our route. Question before the house:

throw almost any pursuer of your
track in the mazes of Manhattan. and
then take your choice of an immense
number OF trains when you wished to
resume your journey"
THE idea is excellent" said Solano.
I'VE could give even your esteemed
chief the slip in New York, ! believe.
Then go north into Canada, west to
Chicago, and keep turning on our
traclzs-with due regard to the pass
