His supper that night was a small one and hurriedly eaten in order that he might get to work on his new device. Droom grinned and cackled to himself all alone up there in the lamplight, for he was perfecting an "invention" by which the honest citizen could successfully put to rout the "hold-up" man that has made Chicago famous.
HAVING therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Give us a favourable reception: we have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. I speak not for your condemnation, for I have already said, that ye are in our hearts to die and live together.
