"Do you care to go with me to meet Donald Graves--the one you knew
as Millard? But I am stupid, or worse. That would be to run you into
needless danger--for such a man as I now know Donald Graves to be
would be desperate."
"I am not afraid of him," retorted Jack quietly. "If you fear only
for me, I beg you to take me to him!"
CHAPTER XXI
DAISY HUSTON DECIDES FOR THE FLAG
"It is a somewhat lonely place, on the outskirts of the city," warned
the girl. "Mr. Graves had thought that, if no other chance offered,
he might possibly get away by leaving that house and taking to the
country roads. For he knows that, if he takes a train at any point, he
won't ride five miles before he'll find himself in the clutches of a
Secret Service man. Oh, he knows how well the trains and the
steamboats will be watched. He dreads, even, that the country roads
will be watched."
"I don't know anything about the Secret Service lines that are out,"
Jack confessed, honestly. "Yet I imagine that every possible precaution
has been taken to capture Millard--or Graves."
"You do not know my name," cried the girl, as though struck by a sudden
thought.
