"I am anxious to know how they tangled these three business men up in the game." "Is it true," Ned asked of Mr. Shaw, "that Gostel and Itto first proposed delaying the work on the canal?" "Yes; they first suggested it." "They told you of emerald mines under there?" "Certainly." "But they never took you to see the mines?" "No; we took their word for it." "Well, they lied to you.
There seemed to the boy only one way in which he could attain the results sought for. He must catch the plotters "with the goods on," as the police say. He must catch them with explosives in their hands under the shadow of the dam! Ned knew that Harvey, Van Ellis, Gostel, and Itto were deep in the treacherous game, but he did not know how many others were taking part in it.

"The secret service lads," exclaimed Gostel, scornfully. "Leave them to me to-night, and you can then keep your engagement with us."

In half an hour a man who looked fully as Oriental in size, manner and dress as Itto stepped inside the door and beckoned to that gentleman. Asking permission to retire for a few moments, Itto passed out of the door with the newcomer.
He was indeed a fair copy of the man called Itto, and his shoulders, narrow and high, might have made the damp stains Ned had found on the wall of the closet in the Shaw house in New York. The stone house was now, seemingly, without an occupant and the thickets about were silent save for the noises of the night.
