PLENTY Of time yet," philosophical
tho Latin. I'VE will have all the ad.
ventures on our own hook, and with.
out any protection, that are coming
20 US. Wait and see."
The boys left the subway two sta
tions further on, doubled up 4 short,
slanting street, turned into another,
running at almost q V,shaped angle,
and landed in q tiny triangle of va
cant ground. with an old hotel to tho
south, row of worn and shabby stone
houses to the north, and the bright
lights Of Broadway only . short walk
to the east. Taking possession of .
bench In the little park, they proceed.
ed to hold a couucil of war, confident
that, even In the gathering night no
spy could approach them close enough
to cause annoyance.
II believed, when We started" said
Brockett, that We could wander
around New York till some time to-
morrow night, and make so many turn
ings that no one without flock of
bloodhouhds could ever find US. I
think, differently now, thought can
hardly say why. For my part, think
we should lose ourselves in the mazes
of this burg for few hours only, then
recross to Jersey and be on our way
by midnight train. How about it,

Fully agreeable" replied the Gu.
ban. I'm fact, was just planning out
| route that won't. consume much
time, but ought to tangle-foot anyone
who is exhibiting loving interest in
US. How is this: Walk to Sixth ave-
| nue. and Twenty-thfrd street. Take
the T. road to Forty-second. Trot
over to the Grand Central station of
the subway, on Forty-second, and ride
! to the downtown district, getting of,
We will say, at Canal. Walk over to
the Bowery, mix In with the crowd,
turn into Mott or Doyers street-in
Chinatown-and travel fast to the lit
tie park at Mulberry Bend. Cut
through the park, and keep on west
to Broadway. Ride up Broadway to
Twenty-third again, then cross over
on Twenty-third to the ferries. How
does that seem for a course that will
bother anybody to follow?" 8.
Looks good to me-" briefly an
| swered Brockett, rising. Lets start
in a hurry" And elancing over the
little park and the adjacent streets
without seeing any sign OF inquisitive
followers, the boys struck out on their
devious journey. They reached Twen-
ty-third street and Sixth avenue In q
few minutes, seated themselves on
the bench beside tho uptown tracks,
and allowed two trains to pass with
out making q move to board either
one. A third train rolled up; the
youngsters waited till the gate was
shutting, and then dove through with
q headlong plunge, earning the execra-
tions of the guard.
Seems to me-" laughed Brockett ~
they gazed at the glittering panorama
Of New York, spread below them, that
anyone who might have been trailing
us this time had to come over a locked
gate or lose out. That was the quick
est move we've made yet"
The Cuban shook his head. Il hope
we are shaking ourselves Free" he
commented, "but, somehow, I'm wor.
ried. have depressed, gloomy SEN
! sation-as if I knew something was
sure to happen-something that I
can't describe or even imagine. I
hope I'm wrong-a few more hours
and we shall see."
