Blocks away from Hagan's tenement, he ran the car into a lane, slipped off the motor coat, and from his pocket whipped out the little metal insignia case and in another moment a diamond-shaped gray seal was neatly affixed to the black ebony rim of the steering wheel. He smiled ironically.
I'm not mixing up in it, and by and by" he lifted up the hypodermic for Hagan to see "I'm going to shoot a little dope into you that'll keep you quiet while I get away myself." Hagan's face had gone a grayish white he had caught sight of the money on the table, and his eyes kept shifting back and forth from it to Myers' face. "Murder!" he said huskily. "There is no murder.
Cary and Dawson spent the morning at the hotel with a telephone beside them; every few minutes the bell would ring, and a whisper of Hagan's movements steal over the wires into the ears of the spider Dawson. He reported progress to Cary with ever-increasing satisfaction.
The difference between life and death for the man beside him that was all! He was reading the portion in his hand. It was the last part of the letter, beginning with: "There's a paper stuck under the edge of Hagan's table " From above, from the floor of the front room now, came the rush and trample of feet. He could not go back for the other half.
Theo and her sister, who were quite new to the world, were a little frightened by the exceeding energy of Mr. Hagan's manner but Lady Maria, much more experienced, took it in perfectly good part.
Were Hagan not a high-spirited fellow, and the old mother very much afraid of him, I doubt whether my lady's life at the Westminster lodgings would be very comfortable. It was very selfish perhaps to take a place at that small table, and in poor Hagan's narrow bed. But Love in some passionate and romantic dispositions never regards consequences, or measures accommodation.
Hagan's manner underwent an abrupt transformation. He wheeled and faced his host with a dangerous glint in his eye. "This is what I mean! You called me a blackmailer and a scoundrel just now. Sure I'm a crook! We're both of us crooks, but I admit it and you don't. So to my thinking, I'm honester than you. I came to you first. Next I'm going to Stuart Farquaharson out there and to your wife.... Mr.
Hagan, standing in the road, brushed his hand bewilderingly across his eyes. "Yes but you I " "Never mind about that!" Jimmie Dale leaned out, and gripped Hagan's arm impressively. "There's only one thing you've got to think of, or remember. Keep your mouth shut! No matter what happens, keep your mouth shut if you want to save your neck! Good-night, Hagan!" The car was racing forward again.
He reached the landing, started along for Hagan's room and a light blazed suddenly in his face, and a hard, quick grip on his shoulder forced him back against the wall. Then the flashlight wavered, glistened on brass buttons went out, and a voice laughed roughly: "It's only Larry the Bat!" "Larry the Bat, eh?" It was another voice, harsh and curt. "What are you doing here?"
"Two of my men," said he, as he wallowed in tea and fried soles one cannot get Dover soles in the weary North "who travelled in ordinary compartments, are after Hagan in two taxis, so that if one is delayed, the other will keep touch. Hagan's driver also has had a police warning, so that our spy is in a barbed-wire net. I shall hear before very long all about him."
