lling that a new alarm
clock!" and he looked at the brass-bound box. Inside was a most
complicated electrical timing apparatus, for setting off charges
of explosive. It could be adjusted to cause the detonation at any
set minute, giving the plotter time to be a long way from the
scene.

And, only because of a slight defect, Alcando would have been far
from the scene when the little explosion occurred at Gatun Dam.

Once more the great Canal was open to traffic. The last of the
slide in Culebra Cut had been taken out, and boats could pass
freely.

"Let's make a trip through now, just for fun," suggested Blake to
Joe one day, when they had packed up their cameras.

Permission was readily granted them to make a pleasure trip
through to Panama, and it was greatly enjoyed by both of them.

"Just think!" exclaimed Blake, as they sat under an awning on the
deck of their boat, and looked at the blue water, "not a thing to
do."

"Until the next time," suggested Joe.

"That's right--we never do seem to be idle long," agreed Blake. "I
wonder what the 'next time' will be?"

And what it was, and what adventures followed you may learn by
reading the next volume of this series, to be called "The Moving
Picture Boys Under the Sea; Or, The Treasure on the Lost Ship."

"Here you go, Blake!" cried Joe, a few days later. "Letter for
you!"

"Thanks. Get any yourself?"

"Yes, one."

"Huh! How many do you want?" asked Blake, as he began reading his
epistle. "Well, I'll soon be back," he added in a low voice, as he
finished.

"Back where?" asked Joe.

"To New York."

And so, with these pleasant thoughts, we will take leave of the
moving picture boys.
