and then tell the enemies of Canada." "I no understand. What enemies?" asked Pierre. "Have you not heard that England and Canada are at war with the Germans?" asked Mr. Waterman. "Oh, yes, but that is far across the Big Water," said Pierre. "Quite true, but the Germans are over here too. In some places, trying to do harm to Canada," said Mr. Waterman. "This bad man, a German?" asked Pierre, as his eyes lighted up. "Yes," replied Bob. "Where he go?" asked Pierre. "We, Americans, have no war with Germans. He goes that way," said Mr. Waterman, pointing up the trail. In another moment Pierre was lost to view. "What do you think of that?" said Jack. "I think I'll tag along behind for fear he gets hurt." "Things certainly have come with a rush," said Mr. Waterman. "Suppose you follow Pierre, so that if the German gets him that you will be there to lend aid." "I'll be there," said Jack, as he looked significantly at his rifle. "That skunk fired twice at Pierre already. He may get him the third time. If he does, I'll take only one shot." "Don't run into trouble, Jack," said Mr. Waterman. "This is not our fight. But follow Pierre and help him if he gets into trouble. Bob and I will get down to Escoumains and report the matter."

"There are few Indians more clever than Jack in following a trail. He'll be up with Pierre by nightfall." They then looked around and were surprised at the completeness of the outfit. Evidently four or five men had been needed to get all these things into the woods. "How they ever got all this stuff here without arousing the suspicion of the Canadian Government passes my comprehension," said Mr. Waterman. Going outside, they noticed a path, and following it, if soon led them to the top of a mountain that was opposite to the one they had climbed but a few short days before. Sure enough, there was the wireless, hidden most cleverly by the trees and branches so that from the opposite hill; nothing out of the ordinary could be seen even with a glass. "This is rather an old instrument," said Bob. "It is dated 1912." "That m
