"Say," Jimmie cried, "you'd all better be gettin' out of this place.
The people out there are goin' to raid it in a minute!"
The prisoner uttered a defiant laugh and again started for the window.
Again Ned forced him back.
"What's the trouble?" asked Frank.
"Why," was the reply, "this gink here," pointing toward the prisoner whose disguise had been removed, "this gazabo hadn't much confidence in his own ability to win this fight, so he appealed to the revolutionary leaders."
"That's fine!" Jack said. "We may have the luck to see a full-fledged revolution doing business."
"You are quite likely to."
This from the prisoner, now standing with the others at the back of the room.
"You arranged for this demonstration in case you should be taken?" asked
Ned.
The prisoner snarled out some ugly reply.
"You planned this?" demanded Ned, resolved to know the truth.
