To-night, after returning to your hotel, you will seek Frank Merriwell's room. If you find him in bed, all the better. You must take him unawares. You must uncork that vial and fling the contents into his face. This you will do!" Although filled with indignation and horror, Dade answered: "I will." "Good! It is enough. He stopped speaking, interrupted by the furious ringing of a bell.
Paul's heart rose with a bursting sensation into his throat. He had seen that Merriwell's face bore a look of determination nay, more, a look of confidence. Oh, for the power to hold out to the end! Again he forced himself to spurt; but, as that mad burst of energy slackened, he felt, rather than saw, his rival reach his side.
He passed a match to Frank, who hastily struck it on a stone and then held it so that he could read the name that was engraved on the card in his fingers. A cry of astonishment broke from Merriwell's lips, and both card and match fell from his fingers to the ground. This is the name he had read upon the card: "Mr. Burnham Putnam."
This correspondent had faithfully reported the reunion of Frank Merriwell's old flock and the doings of the house party at Merry Home. Between eight and nine o'clock each forenoon Frank found a short period of rest from his duties at Farnham Hall.
Frank looked his roommate squarely in the eye. "Go back and accept every proposition Ditson makes," he commanded, and Rattleton felt the influence of Merriwell's superior will. Back he went, and it did not take the seconds long, with Bruce Browning's aid, to settle matters.
One day Frank received an invitation to "sit into a little game" that evening. Snell tendered the invitation. Merriwell's face clouded instantly. "Why, there is no place to play, is there?" "Sure!" was the reply. "You didn't suppose we'd be knocked out so easy, did you? "Where do you play?" "Come along with Hodge to-night, and he will show you. You have been there before."
Tad Horner fell off the back of his chair and struck sprawling on the floor. "Water!" he gasped. "You wouldn't know it if you saw it," grinned Parker. "Without a doubt and without any fooling, Merriwell's father is dead," said Hod Chadwick. "Do you know this for a fact?" asked Swallows. "Yes. It is said that he died on the field." "Then he was a soldier?" "No; a baseball umpire."
Hatch in it, Merriwell's story was listened to with the greatest interest, and he was given the assurance that, in case Lazaro still lived, no stone would be left unturned in the effort to capture him. From police headquarters the three friends of college days visited several pawn shops, where Morgan recovered his clothing and trinkets.
Next I will strike Sudbury Bragg. My plan is made. I am ready. The railroad shall not be built. Great accidents shall happen in Merriwell's mine. An evil spell shall fall on it. Men will die or flee from it in terror. All Merriwell attempts shall fail. In the end I will mock him and bring him to a terrible death."
I am Del Norte, the old man; but to the world I am Alvarez Lazaro, the avenger of Del Norte. I have sworn to destroy Merriwell and make him suffer even as I suffered. I am losing no time. I began with the purpose of blocking Merriwell's railroad scheme. Human life is nothing to me. "I poisoned Watson Scott. I bribed the chauffeur of Warren Hatch to send him crashing over the bank.
