“I wanted you here when the end came,” Ned replied, “and so sent for you. I wanted you where you could not be accused of complicity in the crime, for I knew that you were innocent. Your only fault was in listening to the men at all.”

“Yes, we should have listened to Mr. Shaw instead of the Japs,” Mr. Chester admitted, “but it has come out all right. The peril is over. Now, what about the necklace?”

“Gaga carried it with him, lugged it about on his person,” Ned said, “and Jimmie secured it after his arrest at the stone house. Pedro would not have been captured if he had not followed Gaga there with the intention of murdering him and securing the necklace. Yes, the bauble is in Frank’s possession again!”

“And that closes the case,” laughed Mr. Shaw, “and you boys may as well go back to New York with me. The reward for your work, Mr. Nestor, will be large, and you may as well take a rest. We will leave the prisoners in the hands of the law.”

“Wait a moment!” said Col. Hill. “We are in need of a herd of Boy Scouts, just like this one, up in the Philippines. Will you go, boys?”
