'Well, one thing I must do or three things, now I think of it. I must find out from Garwood' this was his last night's visitor 'what he saw, and then I must get the thing photographed before it goes further, and then I must find out what the place is. 'I can do the photographing myself, said Nisbet, 'and I will.
Herlihy reached Houston with the papers on the evening of January 30th, and on the same train with him came Abraham Kaffenburgh, a member of the law firm of Howe and Hummel and a nephew of the latter.

Amos Garwood must be held, if necessary, until we can find some men to seize him and turn him over to the authorities. Be careful and tactful with him, but don't let him get away from you. The other fellows will help you, if necessary. I'm taking Greg with me, just so that Greg may run in one direction and I in another, in case we don't find help easily.
"I wonder what he thinks he's doing there?" pondered Dick curiously. "To think that a few grains of this wonderful substance would pulverize a regiment!" continued Garwood, in an inventor's ecstasy.

"Walter," he remarked thoughtfully adjusting a microscope, "suppose you run down and see Garwood. Perhaps he has something to report. And by the way, while you are out, make inquiries about the Blakes, young Baldwin, Miss Sears and this Dr. Wilson. I have heard of her before, at least by name. Perhaps you may find something interesting."
"If you can find any cigarettes in my room, sir, you " "Pshaw! What's the use in pretending?" interrupted the instructor, viewing Kenneth balefully.
