of them, sir?"
"I have not," replied Cutlip firmly.
"No one resembling a German, even?" persisted Frank.
"No."
"You are quite sure?"
"Quite sure."
"Think again, my man," said Frank.
"Look here," said Cutlip, "do you mean to insinuate that I'm lying?"
"I don't insinuate anything. I know you are lying. Hold up there!"
For Cutlip had taken a threatening step forward.
"A party of three German sailors from a submarine nearby were seen to come
this way," Frank went on. "You must have seen them. Now, if you are not

The man touched his cap.
"Aye, aye, sir," he said. Then to Cutlip in a rough voice: "March, now."
The three disappeared, Cutlip grumbling to himself and the sailors
grinning.
Frank turned to young Cutlip, who had watched these proceedings with some
disfavor.
"Now, my boy," he said, "we can get ready for business."
"They won't hurt him, will they?" asked the boy, pointing after his
father.
"They will not," said Frank. "Only keep him safe until the trouble is
over."
"All right. Then, I'll hel
