stuff! We don't know what to expect next!"

"You are watching?" the professor queried.

"We are! If they try anything in any public place, we may spot it before it breaks."

"But we don't want any more bombings! If any more are scheduled, we want to find it out!"

"I've been after evidence, professor," interrupted Cardona, "and I'll say it's tough to get. When one of
those bombs goes off, it wrecks everything!

"There'll be some clues that'll show up, right enough, but how soon will we get them?"

"We're counting on you to spot the men for us, professor," interposed Burke. "You say you will be able
to find them. Why not do it right now, so they won't give us any more trouble?"

"Right now, yes?" questioned Zerndorff, with a faint smile. "You want them right now, yes? Do you want
them all at once, or some of them now and more of them at some time later?"

"We want all we can get, whenever we can get them!"

"Inspector," said Zerndorff, spreading his hands in a slight, unconscious gesture, "you must understand, as
I do, the men with whom we have to deal.

"As our friend here, the detective, has said, we must have evidence. We must take them all when we do
take them. Not just one or two, but all! I shall tell you why, yes?

"It is because if we take part of them, the others will continue to do what they have done. They will try to
make it seem that those whom we have taken first had nothing to do with these explosions that have gone
before! You understand, yes?"

"The professor is right, inspector," said Cardona, nodding. "I get his point. He figures that they are going
to lay low for a while, anyway.

"If we wait them out we can make a real clean-up. But if we move too fast, they'll blow the works. We
want to round up the whole crew!"

"That may be right," said Burke, nodding. "What about the secret-service men, professor?"

"They agree with me, inspector."

"You're boss, then," said Burke.

"I have not come to this country for nothing," said Doctor Zerndorff. "I have been here a long time. Five
years, yes?

"Since I have come here - to help your government, I have done much. I have helped you, too, inspector.
I have seen these men in Europe - the same men that have come to this country now - to do crime. I can
find them because I know them.
