She gave him a curious look and he began by telling her of the tragedy at the Hulton mill and Lawrence's meeting the supposititious watchman. Then he related how he had been tracked through the hills, and explained the conclusions he had arrived at when the light first dawned on him as he puzzled out the matter by the peat stack.
"I don't think you're right, but if you are, I'll take my partner along with me, or stay behind with him." "What are you going to do now?" Percival asked. "Stop at the Crossing and see about starting the mill." Hulton nodded. "I guess that's the best thing. When you have got her started, come and see what we want. I think that's all in the meantime." Foster left them and began work next day.
TO MISS CAROLINE DERBY Hulton, Penn., December 28, 1893. ...Please thank dear Miss Derby for me for the pretty shield which she sent me. It is a very interesting souvenir of Columbus, and of the Fair White City; but I cannot imagine what discoveries I have made, I mean new discoveries.
However, a man who now and then acted as my agent learned something about the customs of the factory and went there the night he met Featherstone. But he did not shoot Fred Hulton." "Then how was the lad killed?" "He shot himself; in a way, by accident." Foster looked at Daly with ironical surprise. "Your friends deal too much in accidents!
He rested his elbow on the table, as if he were tired, and sat very quiet with his chin on his hand, until he asked Featherstone: "Why did you lend Fred the money he sent the girl?" "For one thing, because he was my friend," Featherstone answered with a flush. "Then I knew into what straits the need of money can drive a young man. I got into trouble myself some years ago." Hulton nodded.
Thus we avoided the rush and had a nice quiet visit before the train started. Was that not very kind? So it always is. Some one is ever ready to scatter little acts of kindness along our pathway, making it smooth and pleasant... We had a quiet but very pleasant time in Hulton. Mr. Wade is just as dear and good as ever!
Still, Foster admitted that their success was not altogether due to their own efforts, because once or twice, when they had to face a financial crisis, the situation was saved by a check Featherstone got from home. By and by the latter turned to his comrade. "Your letter was from Hulton, wasn't it? What does he want?" "He doesn't state, but asks us to call at the factory to-morrow evening.
"Its plain that you're keeping something back, but if it's your or your partner's business, I suppose I can't object. I believe you mean to do the square thing." "Thank you," said Foster. "What have you found out about Daly?" "Enough to show he wasn't at the factory the night Fred was killed," Hulton answered with stern self-control. "But he was in the plot and is being watched in Scotland."
He began by hastily recounting what had happened at the factory the night Fred Hulton was killed. Carmen was obviously puzzled, which was a relief to him, but he saw comprehension in her look as he went on to relate how he had been watched by the police, and his interview with Graham and subsequent adventures.
If he had clever confederates, a large part of the value of the bonds could be borrowed from a bank, or they might be sold to unsuspecting buyers on a French or German bourse." "But this would depend on the publicity you gave their theft." "Exactly," Percival agreed with some dryness. "I have been trying to make Mr. Hulton recognize it." Hulton's tense look softened and he smiled.
