"Schlichter gone!" exclaimed the foreman. "He was no good anyhow. I think he was a sort of Anarchist; always against the government, the way he talked. So he has left; eh? But what's the matter, Ned?" "Something wrong with the powder. Tom can't shoot the cannon and turn aside the water to save the town. Some of his enemies have been at work.
Schlichter leaving at this time, and in such hurry, makes it look suspicious." "It sure does! And, now I recall it, I saw him yesterday near your powder magazine. I called him down for it, for I knew Tom Swift had given orders that only his own party was to go near it. So the powder is doped; eh?" "Yes! It's all off now." He turned to see Tom approaching on the run.
Sifting all this evidence, he concluded that these dwarfs really existed, and that they lived in a region which he marked on the map north of Lake Stefanie. Donaldson Smith had not heard of Schlichter's paper, and knew nothing of these dwarfs, but he found them in 1895 in the region which Schlichter had indicated as their probable habitat.
"If all the powder there is left has been doped, I can't save the town! What can I do? What can I do?" Ned had reached the foreman, who, with his helpers, was standing about the big gun. "Have any of your men left recently?" yelled Ned. "Any of my men left? What do you mean? "Schlichter went yesterday," said the timekeeper. "I thought he was in quite a hurry to get his money, too."
A curious history is connected with the discovery of the northeastern group of pygmies, a little south of Abyssinia. No white man had ever seen them, but about fifteen years ago Dr. Henry Schlichter, of the British Museum, collected all the information which natives had given to missionaries, traders, and explorers of the existence of these little people some hundreds of miles from the sea.
