"There's sunshine here now," declared the Major. "We've had it right along. But I haven't seen the roses yet, and a pair of ear muffs wouldn't be uncomfortable in this cutting breeze." "The air is rather crisp," admitted Uncle John. "But we're still in the mountainous district, and Haggerty says " The Major coughed derisively and Mumbles barked and looked at Uncle John sagaciously.
Berenice had become at last too individual a figure to be overlooked. At an important luncheon given by the Harris Haggertys, some five months after the Beales Chadsey affair, she had been pointed out to Mrs. Haggerty by a visiting guest from Cincinnati as some one with whom rumor was concerning itself. Mrs. Haggerty wrote to friends in Louisville for information, and received it.
The girl quietly took her place beside me. "So you took a chance at the cellars, eh?" inquired the detective urbanely. "Well, you look it. Will you go with us quietly, or shall we have to use force?" "In the first place, what do you and your police want of me?" I returned coolly. He exhibited his star of authority. "I am Haggerty of the Central Office. I want you for several things."
Lieutenant-Colonel Haggerty was killed about noon, before we had effected a junction with Colonel Hunter's division. Colonel Cameron was mortally wounded leading his regiment in the charge, and Colonel Corcoran has been missing since the cavalry-charge near the building used as a hospital. For names, rank, etc., of the above, I refer to the lists herewith.
There was a dark storeroom, on looking through the key-hole of which, I could dimly see a heap of chairs and tables, and other four-footed things, which seemed to me to have rushed in there, frightened, and in their fright to have huddled together and climbed up on each other's backs, as the people did in that awful crush where so many were killed, at the execution of Holloway and Haggerty.
"A man in my business," said Haggerty mildly, "is often found in such places. There are various things to be recovered in pawnshops. The gentlemen of this club sent me the original ten of hearts, my presence being necessary at such big entertainments. And when I saw that card of yours, I was so happy that I nearly put you on your guard. Lord, how long I've been looking for you!
It was near eleven o'clock when I roused the housekeeper. I telegraphed two hours ago." "Telegraphed!" exclaimed the chief, rousing himself out of a melancholy dream. "Yes, telegraphed. The despatch lay unopened on your office-desk. You're a good watch-dog for a hen-coop!" growled Haggerty. "Ten thousand in gems to-night, and by this time he is safe in New York. You are all a pack of blockheads.
A hundred thousand in precious gems, all neatly packed away in the heels of Crawford's old shoes! And where was that man Mason? Would he ever return? Oh, well; he, Haggerty, had got his seven thousand in rewards; he was living now like a nabob up in the Bronx. He had no real cause to regret Mason's advent or his escape.
Went with me into the wilds of Africa and Persia, through deserts, swamps, over mountains; tireless, resourceful, dependable; and saved my life twice. Its knocked a hole in my faith in mankind." "Listen here," said Haggerty. "Without your knowing it, he always carried a bunch o' first-class skeleton keys. I'm dead sure he was working his game all th' time.
Meanwhile Killigrew arrived in New York, went to the bank and deposited Kitty's opal, and sought his office. "There's a Mr. Haggerty in your office, Mr. Killigrew. I told him to wait." "Haggerty, the detective?" "Yes. He said you'd be glad to see him. Has news of some sort." Killigrew hurried into his private office. "Hello, Haggerty! What's the trouble this morning?" "Got some news for you."
