"Yes; wouldn't you call it that if you saw one of our army officers having a secret talk with a German enemy?" "I suppose so," assented Blake. "And yet Lieutenant Secor isn't one of our officers." "No, but he's been in our camps, and he's been a guest of Uncle Sam. He's been in a position to spy out some of the army secrets, and now we see him talking to this German."
And then a door, or what had been a door, to the dugout swung open with a creak of its rusty hinges. "What's that?" cried Secor, in French, starting to his feet. "Only the wind," replied the German, in the tongue of his fellow-conspirator. "Only the wind." "Ah! I thought maybe it was " "You thought perhaps it was the boys who own these films, but who will never see them again.
They filmed many stirring scenes, and the records they made now form an important part of the archives of the War Office in Washington, the films so strangely lost and recovered being considered most valuable. Lieutenant Secor became one of the boys' firmest friends, and through his help they were enabled to obtain many rare views.
"Labenstein, of course, would be with the German forces, and since Secor is a traitor he would be there also. Of course it may not have been those fellows, but some other two men who had learned through their spies that we were here taking pictures and wanted them for their own purposes." "The question is, can we get them back?" put in Charlie, scowling in the direction of the Germans.
Late in the afternoon they paid a visit to their friend the sentry, asking if he had seen anything of the two men that they suspected might have the films Secor and Labenstein. "I wouldn't know 'em by those names even if I saw 'em," said the soldier, "and, as a matter of fact, I didn't see the same two chaps I saw before.
"Go to it, old top!" exclaimed Macaroni, dropping into what he thought the latest English slang. "I'm going to turn in." The lanky helper of the moving picture boys had spent the hours of his watch with his eye close to a small hole that had been bored in the door of the boys' stateroom. The hole gave a view of the staterooms of Lieutenant Secor and Mr. Labenstein, which adjoined.
"Who are you what do you want?" was asked. It was one of the ship's crew assigned to night-watch. Blake knew him slightly, having, at the man's request one day, showed him something of the workings of a moving picture camera. "We came up looking for two gentlemen who have the staterooms opposite ours," Blake answered, resolving to "take a chance" in the matter. "Lieutenant Secor and Mr.
In fact, I don't believe that firm cares much about the contract we have, though they have tried to cut in under us on other matters. So we must meet Lieutenant Secor halfway if he makes any advances. It isn't fair to misjudge him." "I suppose so," agreed Joe. "Yet we must be on our guard against him. I'm not going to give him any information about what we are going across to do."
Secor calls to mind an interesting bit of history connected with the movement. As said before, it did not originate in the University of North Dakota. Dr. William DeWitt Hyde, President of Bowdoin College, is responsible for the suggestion.
He stepped out into the corridor, and was now lost to view. The next moment, to the surprise of Blake and his two friends, there came a knock on their own door, and a voice asked: "Are you within, young gentlemen of the cameras? I am Lieutenant Secor!" Sudden and unexpected was the knocking, and it found the boys unready to answer it.
