"What is it?" inquired Everman, when they were alone. "Well," said the chief, "it is just this. Last night, one of my men informs me, Mrs. Edwards received a letter from her husband, and to-day she appears to be in great trouble and distress of mind. There can be no doubt that she has been informed of his crime, and also that she now knows his present whereabouts."
The doctor turned pale at this announcement, and requested an explanation of such an unusual proceeding; but Everman informed him that all explanations would be made in due time, and at the proper place.
The firemen had by this time, gathered up their hose and were preparing to return to their various houses, and Thomas Nelson, after assisting in this labor until it was completed, left his companions, and proceeded along the sidewalk in the direction of the hotel. Everman walked on slowly behind him, and seeing him enter the building, he followed closely after him.
He also informed me that permit might be obtained from Washington to secure these specimens in Yellowstone National Park. Immediately I perceived an opportunity and interviewed Dr. Barton Everman, curator of the museum, concerning the feasibility of offering our services in taking these bears at no expense to the academy.
He was the most active and energetic man upon the ground, and it could be seen at once, that his whole heart was in the work in which he was then so earnestly engaged. "That's your man," said the chief, pointing toward him, "and now you can commence upon him as soon as you please." "All right," answered Everman; "I will see what I can do."
Johnson made his appearance, under the escort of William Everman; and the delectable trio were placed in separate cells to prevent any collusion between them prior to their examination. Johnson's arrest had been very easy of accomplishment.
Everman proceeded directly to the hotel upon his arrival, and quickly announced himself as a traveling salesman from a neighboring city. In a casual conversation with the clerk, he ascertained that Edwards and his wife were quite well known in the place, and that the clerk was an intimate acquaintance of the lady's husband.
Louis, had, in accordance with my instructions, obtained the assistance of the chief of police of that city, who very cheerfully and cordially volunteered all the aid in his power. Two men were therefore detailed to accompany Everman in searching for Dr. Johnson, and it was nearly midnight before they succeeded in ascertaining definitely where he lived.
Why, what's the matter?" quickly inquired the detective. "Well, sir, I am afraid your friend has turned rascal, and has run away." "What do you mean?" sharply asked Everman. "Surely, you have no reference to my friend, Newton Edwards?" "Yes, I mean him exactly. He is a damned thief, that's what he is; and he has broken his wife's heart!"
After a few moments spent in friendly converse, the detective arose to take his leave; and after being invited to renew his visit, he departed from the house. "By George!" murmured Everman to himself, as he made his way back to the hotel; "that little woman is a wife to be proud of.
