can go back to New York. Have the films developed the first thing and

Mr. Hadley looked around far something to throw at him, but having
nothing but his note book, which was too valuable for that, contented

"When will you want us again, Mr. Hadley?" asked Blake, as he and Joe

dangerous work?"

"Do you mean such as we had in Earthquake Land?" asked Blake.

"Or under the sea?" inquired his partner.

"This is a call to battle," replied Mr. Hadley. "And it's real battle,
too! None of this smoke-bomb stuff! Boys, are you game for some actual
fighting?"
