Boarding a train for Toronto, they went away.

The Bradys were on the same train.

Once more their disguises were changed, for they did not want the smugglers
to see them in Toronto in the same characters, as it might arouse their
suspicions.

They were now rigged out as two regular army soldiers, and pretended to be
sightseeing, as most Americans are up in that region.

La Croix and his party only remained a day in Toronto.

The detectives now discovered that two of the spies had disappeared and a
swift search was made to find them.

Harry did the investigating.

His companion returned to La Croix's party and the bride and groom started
off on a short wedding trip.
