"Here are
some photos, maps and so on that I got from those two dead Germans,
Bauer and his pilot. They may be of service up at headquarters."
And he handed them over, Buck supplementing them with a few he too had
taken on his various ventures within the last day or two.
CHAPTER XIX
CONCLUSION
Two days later a couple of rather spruce looking young men alighted
from an eastern train in Paris and, strolling forth in the crowd of
passengers, looked about them rather curiously.
Both had passed through the French capital before, but more as
strangers and foreigners than as ally Americans, visiting a city famed
as the center of all that is best in French history and tradition.
"Looks much like little old New York," remarked Buck, "only I don't see
so many skyscrapers."
"I like that!" said Blaine. "I never did fall in love with fifty-story
shacks that seem to resent the sunlight down here below. I wish Stan
could be with us, don't you?"
"Yep! But I bet he's satisfied with the nursing he's getting off that
pretty Chicago girl we left him with. What we better do? Wait for
something to happen?"
"'Looks that way. Our wire said for us to wait at the depot." And
Blaine, looking curiously around, happened to be turned the wrong way
when a uniformed porter came up to Bangs, touched his cap and said:
"Pardon, messieurs, but will you come with me?" And be presented a
card upon which was engraved the name of Senator Walsen.
