I read the note again. Then a suspicion large enough to overshadow the universe grew up in my brain.
While Birchard was forging the papers to get your million Gresham was establishing an alibi for himself. The only thing I see for you to do besides laying for Gresham is to repudiate this entire deal and get back as much of your half-million as you can."

What had we gained by our visit? Looking calmly at it, I could not help but ask myself why both Torreon and Senora Mendez had acted as if they were concealing something about the whereabouts of Guerrero. Was she a spy?

General Dado has been sharply criticised roundly abused, even for making a claim against the Grant estate for alleged assistance in preparing the "Memoirs" that have added to that estate some half-million of dollars. The Philadelphia Bulletin says: "There is no mark of contempt so strong that it ought not to be fixed on so shameless and unblushing an ingrate."
There are in our country not fewer than one hundred thousand tramps, and by some the number has been estimated at a half-million.
"And you agreed to that?" "What rights had I? None at all. I'll come out of it with over a half-million dollars isn't that enough for a backwoodsman? I get the profits of the working for three years, and two hundred thousand dollars besides. I ought to be satisfied with that." "Who knows of the will besides yourself?" asked Carnac sharply. "No one.
Present yourself as the only one in the affair, please; my name is a cat that I don't want let out of the bag." "And now, my romantic young friend," remarked Mr. Bayard, "you forget Storri. What shall I do with the half-million taken from him?" "Give one-half to Inspector Val; and with the other purchase an annuity for a gentleman named Sands. I'll send Mr. Sands to you.
