"Dr. van Heerden stated to our representative that the man had represented that he was a friend of the late John Millinborn, but was anxious to get to Canada. He had produced excellent credentials, and Dr. van Heerden, in a spirit of generosity, offered to assist him.
Two or more colonists would club together and join the Boer ranks after a friend or relative of them had been executed. To cite a few instances: In the Middelburg district a certain farmer, by name Van Heerden, was commandeered by an English patrol to act as guide. Reluctantly he obeyed, and led the patrol to the best of his ability. Not far from his home the Boers opened fire on them.
Could you tell me where I can find him, my business is immediate and I have come a long way." From Germany, guessed Beale. The mail train was due at Charing Cross half an hour before. "I am a friend of Doctor van Heerden and possibly I can assist you. Is the business very important? Does it concern," he hesitated, "the Green Rust?"
It was after that that van Heerden started in to do some tall cursing of me, my country, my decadent race and the like. Things have been strained all the afternoon. To-night they reached a climax. He wanted me to help him in a burglary and burglary is not my forte." "What did he want to burgle?" asked McNorton, with professional interest. "Ah! There you have me!
"The Fräulein Glaum, you saw her?" "Yes, I told her that she must not come to your laboratory again until you sent for her. She asked when you leave." "That she must not know, Gregory please remember." He withdrew his head, tapped at the window and the car moved on. "There's another problem for you, van Heerden," said Milsom with a chuckle. "What?" demanded the other sharply. "Hilda Glaum.
Beyond the door was darkness and he snapped back the light again. The room led to another, likewise empty. There were a number of shelves, a few old wine-bins, a score of empty bottles, but nothing else. At the far corner was yet another door, also bolted on the inside. Evidently van Heerden did not intend this part of the vault to be used. He looked at the lock and found it was broken.
During the war he was temporarily under suspicion for sympathies with the enemy, but no proof was adduced of his enmity and, though he had undoubtedly been born on the wrong side of the Border at Cranenburg, which is the Prussian frontier station on the Rotterdam-Cologne line, his name was undoubtedly van Heerden, which was Dutch.
"He is here," replied the other, and waved his hand to a figure who stood behind him. "Also, the parson is coming down the road." "Good, let us have our friend in." The pink-faced foreigner with his stiff little moustache and his yellow boots stepped into the room, clicked his heels and bowed. "Have I the honour of addressing Doctor von Heerden?"
"You say that the police and even the government of this country will dismiss my charge as being too fantastic for belief. You shall have the satisfaction of knowing that you are right. They think I am mad but I will convince them! In this tube lies the destruction of all your fondest dreams, van Heerden. To realize those dreams you have murdered two men.
"Excuse me a moment," he said. He passed with rapid strides from the room, down the broad stairway and into the palm-court. Van Heerden had gone. The explanation flashed upon him and he hurried to the spot where the doctor had stood. On the tessellated floor was a little patch no bigger than a saucer which had been recently washed. He beckoned the manager.
