“I’m going in after my friend,” replied Frank. “I was just trying to think of a way to get in without Count Blowinski being aware of my presence.”

“Count Blowinski!” exclaimed the Russian.

“Yes,” said Frank.

“The man who would have betrayed the Czar?”

“The same.”

The Russian extended a hand to the lad.

“You may count on my help,” he said.

“Good!” said Frank. “Now, we may as well try this front door. Perhaps it will open.”

“If it won’t, I’ll open it for you,” said the Russian.
