What do the red marks mean, do you think?
gpt
Blood or bombs or something of that kind, I suppose, replied Frank.

Taking this with what I gathered from the fellow's speech, I think it marks places that are to be blown up. It looks like a general uprising against American rule. I think that Army headquarters will find this little sheet of paper an interesting thing to study. And it wouldn't surprise me very much if our genial friend over there should find himself before long standing before a firing squad.

What is this place here?
human
I don't know of any government building there,
gpt
Why, fellows, he said with quickening interest,
human
Sure enough, agreed Billy.
gpt
But what is there that they would want to blow up?
human
Maybe some of these red spots are meant to indicate meeting places of the conspirators, suggested Frank.
gpt
See, there's a little red cross added here that you don't find in connection with the army and government buildings. But it's queer that that alley should turn up again. I wish I knew what it meant.
human
Well, we'll have to let the Secret Service ferret that out, said Billy.
gpt
They have fellows there to whom this will be as clear as crystal after they've studied it a little. In the meantime we've got a big enough job on our hands to take care of these prisoners. What are we going to do with them?
human
We've got time to think that over between now and daylight, answered Frank.

For the present we'll make them lie down flat and far enough apart so that they can't talk with each other. Then you and I will stand the first watch and Bart and Tom the next. As soon as daylight comes we must be on the move.
