“Hello, look here!” cried Roger, as he turned the magazine over. “Well, I declare!”
“What is it?” asked Dave and Nat, in a breath.
“Here’s a picture, drawn in blue pencil. It is marked Fort, but it looks like Sparr’s hotel.”
“And look what it says!” cried Dave, eying the crude drawing. “‘Powder House to be 207 blown up’! That’s the dining-room, as plain as day!”
“And down here it says, ‘Dynamite will do it easily,’ and signed, ‘King of Sumatra.’ Dave, he did it, and this proves it.”
“It certainly looks that way, Roger.”
“Let me see that drawing!” burst out Nat, and would have snatched it from Roger’s hand had not Dave stopped him.
“You can look at it, Nat, but you must give it back,” said our hero.
“What for? My uncle drew that and I have a right to it.”
“No, I am going to hand this over to Doctor Clay and then to the Oakdale authorities. It may be needed to clear Phil, Ben, and Buster.”
