I countered on him, and saw instantly that the Whipple end of the crowd hadn't known of Dykeman's spotters and trailers. "Well, why not?" Dykeman shrilled. "Why not? Who wouldn't shadow that crook? One hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars! Worked us like suckers come-ons !" he choked up and began to cough. Cummings came in where he left off. "See here, Boyne; we don't want to antagonize you.
I worried not at all over Worth; if he wanted to play hide and seek with Dykeman's spotters, he was thoroughly capable of looking after himself; but in the Skeels matter, I did then what I should have done in the first place, of course; turned the work over to subordinates and headed straight home. I reached San Francisco pretty well used up.
The regular spotters failed to find out, and the management sent to Chicago for a real live detective who would not be predisposed to accept the "mystery" as such, but would do his utmost to find the cause of a phenomenon that was not only interrupting traffic but demoralizing the whole service.
"I haven't any use for information turned in by spotters." "I'm glad to hear you say that, Reade," nodded the treasurer. "What I want the men for, Peters, is something honest and manly, and with no fighting in it," Tom continued. "I want information, and I'll pay the man well who can bring it to me. Now, go and get your six men. Bring them up to the house within half an hour."
They may have spotters ahead here on the Republican; Dave will take charge of your 'Open A's' at once, and you will drop back and follow up with his cattle.

It was decided that the same ends could be accomplished by preventing the army of mercenaries and wage-slaves to parade the streets. The corps of "spotters" were sent out. "'You are a witness to what end. The streets were deserted. They will remain so during your stay. "I was on the point of interrupting the woman, but she exclaimed, 'Don't interrupt me.
The world is apparently more full of thugs, hold-up men, yeg-men, bandits, motor-thieves, porch-climbers, spotters, spies and crooked policemen than it ever was; till it almost seems that the slow, old-fashioned method of an effort of the individual soul may be needed still before the world is made good.
"Get out of here now, and see that you post me on all that this Clayton is up to at night, on his Sundays and vacations. I'll give you a third twenty for the two keys. I may want to take a look at his rooms some Sunday when you are sporting out of town. "And watch the spotters, too! You might do a good turn in pocket money by posting him, but only as I tell you, mind that!
The place is full of them." "Full of what?" asked the mayor. "Of spotters, maybe I don't know what they are. There's an old high-brow and a fresh young guy, and two women." "People," gasped the mayor. "People here?" "Sure." "You're asleep, Bland." "No I'm not, Cargan," cried the haberdasher. "Look around for yourself. The inn's overrun with them." Cargan leaned weakly against a chair.
