This, with the aid of Jack's snap-shots, the police did, capturing the entire band; and that afternoon's edition of the "Star" carried a two-column story of Jack's adventure with the Black-Handers, which, with the pictures, made what West declared "the biggest story of a month of Sundays." "Hurry in, Ward, or the lamp will be out!"
"He is a regular amateur detective, and has all kinds of pluck," Alex went on, and in a few words recounted Jack's clearing up of the cash-box mystery at Hammerton, the part he played in the breaking up of the band of Black-Handers, and his resourcefulness when the wires were cut at Oakton. The chief smiled and reached for a message blank. "Thank you, Ward," he said.
"Jameson," called Craig, "tell them to drive straight to 33 Prince Street. They will find the girl in the back yard quick, before the Black-Handers have a chance to go back on their word." I fairly shouted my orders to the police headquarters. "They're off," came back the answer, and I hung up the receiver. "What was that?" Craig was asking of Luigi. "I didn't catch it. What did they say?"
It was at last done, however, without exciting suspicion, and Kennedy attached them to an oblong box of weathered oak and a pair of specially constructed dry batteries. "Now," said Craig, as we washed off the stains of work and stowed the overalls back in the suit-case, "that is done to my satisfaction. I can tell Gennaro to go ahead safely now and meet the Black-Handers."

In consternation he at once saw he could not reach cover before being seen, and also that did he run, the Black-Handers would understand they had been discovered. With quick presence of mind he recognized and instantly did the one thing possible. Turning, he headed back boldly for the cabin. The next instant the three Italians came into view, immediately discovered him, and halted.
