"The chief gave me your message, and I went back to keep a look on Eidstein's place. I didn't think he'd show there again, but he did at four o'clock and stayed there almost half an hour. After that, he went to the station, me right after him. We both caught the five o'clock for Washington." "Did you talk with Eidstein?" "No, sir; had no orders. But he's no loan-shark, and no fence.
Eidstein's on the level. We know all about him." "How did Morley look when he showed up there the second time?" "Done up, sir, fagged out. That's what makes me uneasy. He'd been up to something that shook him, something that rattled his teeth. He looked it." "Pawning something, perhaps?" "That's just it just the way I figured it something he knew was risky something that made him sweat blood."
If he received it, Delaney was fooled. Anyway, he's gone now; and Delaney wants to know what he's to do. What'll I tell him?" "Tell him to go to hell!" Braceway said hotly. "No! Tell him to go back to Eidstein's and wait there until Morley shows up. That's his only chance to pick him up again." "O.K.," growled Golson. "Say!

Golson himself gave the information. "Delaney also caught it. They got to Baltimore at nine. Your man took a taxi straight to the shop of an old fellow named Eidstein, reaching there at twenty minutes past nine. He and Eidstein went into Eidstein's private office back of the shop and stayed there for over an hour, in fact until about half-past ten. Your man came out and went to a down-town hotel.
Where were you all the afternoon preceding the time you showed up at Eidstein's?" This was his first intimation that he had been watched. He hesitated. "Do I have to tell that?" "Certainly. Why shouldn't you?" A film, like tears, clouded his weak eyes. His voice was disagreeably beseeching.
