Suddenly, while the girl's eyes were straining after them, the last motor stopped, and Jasper Vermont jumped out and hastened back into the theatre. More out of idle curiosity than anything else, or perhaps again prompted by the guardian angel of Leroy's honour, she waited to see him come out again.
On and on they flew, changing their height occasionally, and, when they were fired at, which was the case not infrequently, they "zoomed" to escape the flying shrapnel. But on the whole, they fared very well, and in a comparatively short time they found themselves over the country where, on the maps, was marked the location of Harry Leroy's prison camp.
"And yet Leroy is not easily taken in," remarked Parselle thoughtfully. "Every man has his weak point," retorted Shelton with a shrug, "and Jasper is Leroy's one vulnerable spot. He will believe nothing against him." "He's a lucky chap, Vermont," said Standon pensively.

"Perhaps there is a reason why I should want him out of prison, a better reason than you could possibly have." "I don't savvy it. How can there be? You don't know him, do you? He's been in prison almost ever since you were born."
So I have taken it away. Here it is!" and he laid the weapon on the table in front of him. A look of anger darkened Leroy's brows. "I was not aware you carried arms," he said coldly. Sergius Thord noticed his annoyance.
Really, my dear boy" or madam, if the speaker happened to be of the gentler sex "if ever you have occasion to see me, I am sure to be at one of these three places: Leroy's chambers, my club the Pallodeon, or Barminster Castle."
