Hamlin caught . glimpse Of their
backs as they passed out-one in In
fantry fatigue. the other, q heavie
built man, fairly well dressed In citi-
sen's clothes. Inspired by q desire
to see their features the Sergeant
swung himself over the rail, ana
dropped lightly to the ground. In a.
other moment he was out on the
street, in front of the hotel, watching
the open door The two passed within
. few feet of him, clearly revealed in
the light streaming from the dance
hall The soldier Jagged somewhat
behind. an Insignificant, rat-faced feb
low, but the larger man walked
straight. with squared shoulders. He
wore q broad brimmed hat pulled low
over his eyes. and q black beard con
cealed the lower portion of his face.
Hamlin followed as the two pushed
their way up among the idle crowds
congregated on the wooden steps. ana
peered in through the wide doorway.
Satisfied that he would recognize both
worthless when they met again, ana
realizing now something of the plot
being operated. Hamlin edged IN
closer toward the sergeant who WAS
guarding the entrance The latter
recognized him with q nod.
