At that very instant the office boy, Einstein, darted out of the great depot's main entrance and mingled with the passers by. "Now for Fritz Braun," he chuckled. "She has caught on at last! He followed her to the 'Bavaria. The lawyer is gone for good! The field is clear. There's a twenty now in sight, and many a twenty to follow."

He was still standing gaping in wonder when Robert Wade forced his way into his own office and found all in an uproar. Only Arthur Ferris was cool and collected, as he stationed the police and called two stenographers into the room where old Somers and Emil Einstein awaited the opening of an inquisition.

We will put Emil Einstein 'through the thirty-third degree, and in three days Atwater, the two women and I will be off for Breslau. Leave me a free hand, and I'll get your murderer and the money. But remember, one single imprudence loses both man and money; you, your vengeance; me, my reward. And I depend on this windfall to marry!" "So do I, Dennis," sadly smiled Witherspoon.

Emil Einstein, after a whispered conference with his pale-faced mother in her shabby den on the East Side, hastily called a wagon and transported all his slender effects to the little room in rear of Magdal's Pharmacy, where the bogus doctor had had his Sunday conferences with his bibulous patrons the regular "sick people" sick of a thirst, beginning officially with Saturday midnight and ending, providentially, on Monday morning.

The recital of Lilienthal and Braun's illicit trading made Dennis McNerney's eyes gleam. When the three men left the yacht at sunset, the policeman called Einstein into a corner. "See here," he said. "I've got your mother locked up in my charge. She is a decentish sort of woman, in her way, and she loves you, you young brute. See if you can remember anything more in your yacht cruise of a month.

I'll give you just five minutes to tell me the whole truth. It's life and death for you now. They are busy searching your rooms." With a cry of entreaty, Leah Einstein tore open her dress. She threw a packet on the table. "It's all there, all there," she wailed. "And I will tell you all. I will take you to him. You shall catch him. But spare my boy!"

My boy, my poor son! They will kill him!" "Not if you are sensible, Mrs. Leah Einstein," growled the policeman. "But your boy's life depends now only on you." "Where are you taking me to?" pleaded the woman, her storm of tears choking her voice. "That you will soon find out," menacingly said McNerney. "Where you ought to have been long ago!"

The old fox can find a way, and both Alice and I will be out of it." Deliberately selecting two one hundred dollar bills from his wallet, Arthur Ferris held them up to the astonished gaze of Einstein. "Mr. Clayton has been a little strange in his behavior lately," he said. "In some tiff he has thrown up his old rooms, and is going to move. I will be away three or four days.

I got Saxe then senior partner in Browne, Saxe and Einstein on the 'phone, and said: "Just see and tell me, will you, what is the 'bill defining the power of sundry commissions' the bill the governor signed yesterday?" "Certainly, Mr. Blacklock," came the answer.

In a few moments Emil Einstein sauntered across the Bowery and circling around the deserted bank corner, then settled down into a slow, searching pace, threading the lonely south side of the darkened cross street. From his hidden post, McNerney could see the woman clinging to the boy's arm and pleading, while she murmured her prayers in a low tone. "Not yet, not yet," mused McNerney.
