Aggie suddenly giggled. To her sense of humor there was something vastly diverting in this new scheme of giving bliss to a fond husband. "Anywhere but here," she repeated gaily. "Oh, won't that be nice for him? Oh, yes! Oh, quite so! Oh, yes, indeed quite so so!" Garson, however, was still patient in his determination to apprehend just what had come to pass.
He went on speaking with obvious enjoyment of the extent to which his knowledge reached. "And the head of the gang is Mary Turner. Arrested four years ago for robbing the Emporium. Did her stretch of three years." "Is that all you've got about her?" Garson demanded, with such abruptness that Cassidy forgot his dignity sufficiently to answer with an unqualified yes.
Garson exclaimed, eagerly. "They ain't even to be called as witnesses?" Burke nodded assent. "You're on!" he agreed. "Then, here goes!" Garson cried; and he looked expectantly toward the stenographer. The strain of it all was sapping the will of the girl, who saw the man she so greatly esteemed for his service to her and his devotion about to condemn himself to death. She grew half-hysterical.
Neeven had charge of the seal and her baby. I did not dream they were in the haunted room; but when the Harrison boys and I were on the prowl the other night I found it out; and then I determined I would restore the sealkie to Fred Garson. I told the Harrisons there were a mother and child imprisoned at Trullyabister, and that we must free them from thraldom."
He drew a small torch from the skirt-pocket of his coat and crossed to the hall door, as Garson nodded assent. "God! Why did she have to come?" Garson muttered, filled with forebodings. "If anything should go wrong now!" He turned back toward the door just as it opened, and Mary darted into the room with Griggs following.
"He'll be more worried before I get through with him!" he growled. He regarded Cassidy speculatively. "Do you remember the Third Degree Inspector Burns worked on McGloin? Well," he went on, as the detective nodded assent, "that's what I'm going to do to Garson. He's got imagination, that crook! The things he don't know about are the things he's afraid of.
When Garson had made an end of the telegraphing, there came a brief answer in like Morse, to which he returned a short direction. For a final safeguard, Garson searched for and found the telephone bell-box on the surbase below the octagonal window. It was the work of only a few seconds to unscrew the bells, which he placed on the desk.
We were told correctly enough about the birds; and I must say I think Uncle Brüs thinks too much of science and specimens, and too little of lives. But we did not hear the right way about the seal I have heard something about it from Fred, and I don't wonder he was so indignant. It seems they had a tame seal at the Ha'. It had been given to Miss Garson when it was very young.
He knew that the boy worshiped her, would do his best for her, that this best would suffice for her happiness in time. Garson, with the instinct of love, guessed that Mary had in truth given her heart all unaware to the husband whom she had first lured only for the lust of revenge. Garson nodded his head in a melancholy satisfaction.
Aggie, without much apprehension of the exact situation, was moved to a dimpled mirth over the essential humor of the method indicated. "Gee, that's funny," she cried happily. "You an' me an' Joe Garson handin' it to 'em, an' the bulls can't touch us! Next thing you know, Harris will be havin' us incorporated as the American Legal Crime Society."
