"And if I get a chance, I'm going to film a torpedo." By this time the vessel was down in the Narrows, with the frowning forts on either side, and as they passed these harbor defenses Lieutenant Secor crossed the deck and nodded to the boys. "I did not know we were to be traveling companions," he said, with a smile. "Nor did we," added Blake. "You are going back to France, then?"
"Well, I don't imagine what we have taken, so far, will be of any great value to Germany, assuming that Lieutenant Secor is a spy and has told about them," Blake said. "We've got to find out something about this, though, haven't we?" asked Joe. "I think we ought to try," agreed his chum. "Perhaps we should tell Captain Merceau. He's a Frenchman, and will know how to deal with Secor."
I asked, casually, as I am much interested in this motion picture work, and I have observed some of it in my country. So it was your films that I had the misfortune to spoil? I greatly regret it. I suppose it made much extra work for you." "It did, Monsieur Secor," replied Joe rather shortly. "That is the work we are doing now."
"We thought we'd see if you wanted us in relation to the arrest of Secor and Labenstein," answered Blake. "Ah, yes! The two men who signaled the submarine. I have had them under surveillance ever since you made your most startling disclosures. I sent a wireless to the war authorities here to come and place them under arrest as soon as the vessel docked. I have no doubt they are in custody now.
As teachers we should seek to elevate ideals, not to lower them; to furnish right motives, not wrong ones; to place before the developing youth high incentives, not low ones. Mr. Secor says, "the proposed plan is superior to the present system in that it gives a natural and not an artificial incentive to high scholarship."
Even now there might be flashing across the dark sea, from some hidden vantage point on the ship, a light signal that would mean the launching of the deadly torpedo. "There's no doubt, now, but the Frenchman is a traitor," whispered Joe to Blake. "I have been positive about that German being a spy ever since I've seen him, but I did have some doubts regarding Secor. I haven't any now."
Secor said he believed Jinny was good for ten years yet, with the kind of work he would require of her." "Make an offer?" asked Tad, with an eye to business. "Yes." "How much?" "Twenty-five dollars." "W-h-e-w! He must be crazy. All right, he can have her so far as I am concerned. I'll go over to see him this evening."
"Not with any money that I could get for Jinny." "How much do you think you could get for her?" "Not more than ten dollars. I doubt if any one would be willing to pay that, even. Who wants to buy her?" "Yes; Mr. Secor, the butcher, spoke to me about it while I was at his house this afternoon. His delivery horse broke a leg yesterday and they had to shoot the animal to-day."
Secor is certainly not justified in saying that "the plan ... is at present being used in the University of North Dakota with results that are reported to be highly satisfactory." Professor Kennedy's statement was his individual judgment at the time he wrote his article. A considerable number of his co-laborers would not then have agreed with him.
"You aren't the only ones who have done that," said Macaroni. "Somebody else has started with you!" "Who?" For answer the lanky helper pointed across the deck. There, leaning up against a lifeboat, was Lieutenant Secor, smoking a cigarette and seemingly unconscious of the presence of the moving picture boys. For a moment even Blake, cool as he usually was, seemed to lose his head.
