Mr. Noice Meets Quito

All the big disappointments that came to Jean and Jimmy Brady when they learned that Mr. Noyce, the explorer, and Pedro intended to push on a prepper on the heels of Butch Glogan

and Lamy's clogging, and cut up on capturing them before they reached anywhere near the Black Flame Country. The disappointment was that Jimmy and Jean were to be left behind at the trading post, and the Brady youngsters just can't see why this should be.

Their father is a prisoner somewhere of country, and Jimmy and Jean are here to rescue him. Anyway, they take Keto, the Indian boy into their confidence, and the plans are being made that the three of them will follow Mr. Noyce soon after he pushes off.

And right now, we find Mr. Noyce and the white trader Morton in the living room at the post-stations. They are talking things over. You know, Martin, youngsters of the present day continue to be more or less of a puzzle to me.

Oh, and to me also nice, and especially the Brady, to exceptionally alert Youngst. Well, that's exceptional as the word. John just think they've come all the way up here into the heart of a jungle never a thought of danger to themselves Just one thing in mind the rescue of their father And so I'm to be guardian of little Jean and Jimmy till you come back or else the aeroplane arrives is that it exactly and before I go

I'll draw a map leave all the instructions I can you hand them to Donovan and have him hurry up river and pick me up and you'll leave the sufficient sign so that your trail would be easily read I mean at the River Fork yes plenty of time I only hope you can keep those two young daredevils
