"But what is there that they would
want to blow up?"
"Maybe some of these red spots are meant to indicate meeting
places of the conspirators," suggested Frank. "See, there's a
little red cross added here that you don't find in connection with
the army and government buildings. But it's queer that that alley
should turn up again. I wish I knew what it meant."
"Well, we'll have to let the Secret Service ferret that out," said
Billy. "They have fellows there to whom this will be as clear as
crystal after they've studied it a little. In the meantime we've
got a big enough job on our hands to take care of these prisoners.
What are we going to do with them?"
"We've got time to think that over between now and daylight,"
answered Frank. "For the present we'll make them lie down flat and
far enough apart so that they can't talk with each other. Then you
and I will stand the first watch and Bart and Tom the next. As
soon as daylight comes we must be on the move."
The plan was carried out, although Bart and Tom declared that they
had lost all desire for sleep and would keep awake with the
others.
