"We have trapped the gang, even up to Trubus, and, if you are strong enough to go down to the station, we will have him sent with the rest of his crew to the Tombs to await trial." Old Barton reached for Burke's hand. "My boy, you have been more than a friend to me on this terrible yet wonderful day. You could have done no more if you had been my own son."
Yet Trubus, all the time that he was posing as the guardian angel of virtue, has been familiar with the work of every procurer and every purchaser; it's a wonderful system. If he had spent as much energy on doing the charitable work that he pretended to do, think of how much misery and sickness he could have cured." "Well, Burke, it's the same game that a lot of politicians on the East Side do.
Mary went direct to the office, where she found Trubus storming about angrily. "What do you mean by staying nearly two hours out at luncheon time?" he cried. "I am very busy and I want you to be here on duty regularly, even if my wife did foolishly intercede in your behalf, young woman." "I am sorry I became ill, and was delayed. I will not be late with you again, sir."
"How much longer am I to be subject to these Russian police methods?" demanded Trubus, with an oath. "Quiet, now, Mr. Purity League," said Sawyer, "we are going to have ladies present. You will soon be allowed to talk all you want. But I warn you in advance that everything you say will be used as evidence against you."
What is your charge?" Sawyer did not answer. As they reached a subway station he called out to the driver: "Stop a minute. Now, Burke, you had better go uptown and get the witness; hurry right down, for I want to end this matter to-night." Bobbie dismounted, while Trubus stormed in vain.
Miss Emerson, with a confident smile, walked toward the general office on the left. "I should worry about this job. I'm sick of this charity stuff anyway. I'm going to get a cinch job with a swell broker I know. He runs a lot of bunco games, too but he admits. Don't let the old lady worry about me, Mr. Trubus, but don't forget that I've got two weeks' salary coming to me.
"I have heard this story many times before, my young friend. It does not interest me." "What!" exclaimed Burke, "you advertise and obtain money from the public to fight for purity and when a man comes to you with facts and with the gameness to help you fight, you say you are not interested." Trubus waved his hand toward the door by which Burke had entered.
I happen to have run across a gang of procurers who drug girls, and make their livelihood off the shame of the girls they get into their clutches. I can give you the names of these men, their haunts, and you can apply the funds and influence of your society in running them to earth, with my assistance and that of a number of other policemen I know." Trubus rose from his chair.
"Miss Emerson, did that policeman leave his name and station?" "No, sir; but I know his number. He's mighty fresh." "Well, I must find out who he is. He is a dangerous man." Trubus turned toward his mail, and with a slight tremor in his hand which the shrewd girl noticed began to open the letters.
The matron and Mary had to chafe her hands and apply other homely remedies to keep her up for the task of identifying the woman who had been captured. "Now, Burke," began Sawyer, "I have been saving Trubus for a surprise. He has been locked up in my private office, and still doesn't know exactly how we have caught him.
