It was with this end in view that he kept me to himself, banishing Chevet, and compelling De Artigny to remain well in advance.

Their inferences from the facts which they have themselves collected are directly opposite to his. "Proving our case," he says, "by such testimony, we have admitted their statement of fact, only rejecting their conclusions."

Jimmie Dale stared at it and pursed his lips. It was an ugly safe, extremely ugly from a cracksman's point of view! Also, there seemed a hint of irony, a jeer almost, in the impassive wall of steel that confronted him. It was one of his own make one that had helped, in the old days, to amass the millions that his father had left to him and it was one of the best!
