After waiting a short time I was ordered to go below, where the admiral, his flag-captain, Dawkins, and the others were seated.
This unexpected offer of shelter was too tempting to be resisted, and on the way to London, where they arrived at nightfall, Oliver learnt that his friend's name was Jack Dawkins, but that he was known among his intimates as "The Artful Dodger." In Field Lane, in the slums of Saffron Hill, the Dodger pushed open the door of a house, and drew Oliver within.
Damer, bringing out his words one by one, being terribly out of breath. "Very wonderful, very wonderful, indeed!" "It is wonderful," said Miss Dawkins, whose breath had not failed her in the least, "very wonderful, indeed! Only think, Mr. Damer, you might travel on for days and days, till days became months, through those interminable sands, and yet you would never come to the end of them.
"Yes." "Aha, that is well. I was just about what you call cleaned out." "Have you my note with you?" Duval fumbled in his pocket-book, and finally produced the desired document. "Give it to me." "I must have the money first," said the Frenchman, shrewdly. "Take it," said Dawkins contemptuously. "Do you judge me by yourself?"

"Dawkins, did you observe whether Paul remained long in the office?" he asked. "Longer than sufficient to lay the letters on the desk?" "Yes, sir, I think he did."

"Has any one been here?" he asked as he passed through the outer office. "No, sir," said Dawkins, with outward composure though his heart was beating rapidly. While apparently intent upon his writing he listened attentively to what might be going on in the next room. One, two, three minutes passed. Mr. Danforth again showed himself. "Did you say that no one has been here?" he demanded, abruptly.
Danforth explained how he had become acquainted with the real thief. In conclusion, he said, "I shall expect you back to-morrow morning, Paul." "Thank you, sir." "Dawkins of course leaves my employ. You will take his place, and receive his salary, seven dollars a week instead of five. Have you any friend whom you would like to have in your own place?"
Dawkins followed, weeping, and then came several theatre folk. I went outside and saw the stretcher put into the ambulance-van, and then I made myself known to the doctor. "She has received very great injuries chiefly the right cheek and eye. So much so that she needs an oculist's care at once. I have telephoned to Dr.
