“You mean that fellow you sent for?” “That’s the one.” “Sure I saw him.” “Just a minute. What’s the address of your place?” he asked the Jap and, on being told, turned again to the other. “Go around there and watch if he shows up. If he does try to find out what he says to the man in charge. You probably can’t do it but there’s just a chance.” Then he called the chief operator of the telephone company and gave orders that he be notified at once if any one called 1538, which the Jap had told him was the number of their phone, and gave the information that someone was back. “There, we’ve laid the trap but I doubt if he springs it,” he smiled. “I agree with you,” Rogers said as he got up from his chair. They left a few minutes later and stopped for a moment on the pavement outside the station. “Would you like us to go with you?” Rogers asked. “I think it would be better for me to go alone, don’t you?” the Jap replied. “Frankly, yes,” Rogers told him. “But, of course, we’ll be very glad to go if you want us too.” “No, I think I’d better go alone. I have no fear as I can take care of myself now that I shall be on my guard.” “I’ll tell the world you can,” Gordon grinned. “Boys, I think we’d better spend the night here. What do you say? We can put the plane in some garage and take in a movie to-night. Frankly, I’d like to know how he comes out before we go back.” “No, no,” the Jap insisted. “You’ve done too much already. Don’t you bother any more.” “Of course we’re going to stay,” Bill declared. “A movie to-night suits me down to the ground,” Gordon added. “Is there a hotel anywhere near where we left the plane?” Rogers asked. “The Byscaine is only a couple of squares away,” the Jap told him. “Good. Now you come there at ten o’clock to-night and we’ll have a little talk. And now, if I were you, I’d get over to the place and see the partner as soon as possible.” “I can never repay you for what you have done for me,” the Jap told them as he shook their hands. “Forget it,” Gordon told him. “Hope he comes through all right,” Bill said as the Jap disappeared around a corner. “He will,” Gordon assured him. They caught a car a few minutes later and returned to the place where they had left the plane to find everything all right and a half hour later the plane was locked in the big garage of the Byscaine Hotel and they were enjoying the luxury of a hot bath. After supper they took in a movie and by half past nine were back at the hotel waiting for their friend. The Jap came shortly before ten and they knew at once that things had gone well with him. “He did just as the chief said he would,” he told them as soon as they were seated in one of the bedrooms. “Wanted to know where I’d been and told how worried he’d been and how hard he’d tried to find me. Of course he was very much astonished and very indignant when I told him what had happened to me, but I know he was lying all the time.”
