Boy Scouts in Mexico; or On Guard with Uncle Sam

CHAPTER XI
2/13

We are here to defeat the plot to arm these men who are waiting to cross the river, and not to furnish newspapers with scoops, as you call them." "How are you going to do it ?" asked the boy.
"The intention originally was to stop the purchase of arms.

That failing, it was determined to prevent the purchases crossing the Rio Grande.

If that cannot, or has not, been done, then some other means must be resorted to.

That is why I am here, and that is why United States secret service men are waiting for me somewhere about here." "I see," said Shaw, "and you thought your men might be down here?
Well, if it is the other end of the conspiracy that we find in this camp, at least the other end of the Cameron robbery conspiracy--anyway not your associates--what then ?" "I am expecting the diplomat," was the reply.

"If I can't get the arms I hope to get him." "Would that check the invasion of Texas ?" asked the boy.
"It might delay it until we have a strong force on the other side of the river." "I believe you mean to kidnap him," cried Shaw.
