"What two fellows were they you saw?" asked Joe.
The soldier explained, giving as many details as he could remember, and Charlie cried:
"Lieutenant Secor for one—the chap in the blue. A French traitor!"
"He did have a uniform something like the French," admitted the private. "The other was a Fritz, though."
"Labenstein!" murmured Joe. "I wonder if it is possible that they are with the Hun army and have learned through spies that we are on this front. If they have, they would know at once that those were boxes of films, and that's why they stole them! Do you think it possible, Blake?"
CHAPTER XXI
ACROSS NO MAN'S LAND
Blake Stewart did not answer at once. He appeared to be considering what the soldier had told him. And then Blake looked across No Man's Land—that debatable ground between the two hostile forces—as though to pierce what lay beyond, back of the trenches which were held by the Germans, though, at this point, the enemy was not in sight.
"Could it, by any chance, have been Secor and Labenstein who got our films?" asked Joe.
