In due time the _Vagrant_ was also recovered and sent home by the newly formed Madero government. Of Herrera, all trace was lost for a time. But ultimately he was heard from in Paris, whither, as had been prophesied, he had fled when the Diaz government fell. But he is not leading the life of a luxurious refugee there. Far from it. The gems he had stolen with the exercise of so much villainy and planning, proved to be, as Professor Chadwick had conjectured, mere cheap imitations worth very little except as specimens of Maya workmanship. Herrera, when last heard from, was acting as a head waiter in an humble Mexican restaurant in the Latin quarter of the French capital. The genuine gems were sold to a New York millionaire, and when he dies will be seen in his private museum, which will then be opened to the public. The proceeds were shared, by the wishes of Professor Chadwick and Mr. Jesson, with the faithful crew of the _Sea King_, each, from Captain Andrews down, receiving a due portion. A handsome monument was also erected above the grave of poor Kettle, who fell in the battle with the Mayas. Professor Chadwick did not fulfill the object of his cruise in finding a new form of biologic life; but he often says that he established something far more precious,—namely, the safety of his long-lost brother-in-law, Tom Jesson’s father. One morning, not long after the household at High Towers had settled down to its ordinary routine, a telegram came for Jack. It contained astonishing things, things which were—though he didn’t guess it at the time,—to open up an entirely new field of invention for him and his chums, Tom Jesson and Ned Bangs. The message stated,—but positively, we must keep all that for another telling. In our next volume we will relate further astonishing and stirring occurrences in the lives of our ingenious, progressive young friends. The title of the forthcoming book will be _The Boy Inventors and the Vanishing Gun_,—a tale which promises to be of extraordinary interest to every American boy, brimful and running over, as it will be, with experiment and achievement along new and significant lines.
