Marlow, if she's come she hadn't arrived when I was up there ten minutes ago that I'm called out for an hour or so ask her to attend to anything that turns up until I come back shan't be long." Van Koon nodded and walked back into the hotel, while Allerdyke and Fullaway joined the detective in the cab and set out westward. "What is it?" asked Fullaway. "Something new?"
Now when Koon beheld him, Koon Antenor's eldest son, illustrious among men, strong sorrow came on him, covering his eyes, for his brother's fall: and he stood on one side with his spear, and unmarked of noble Agamemnon smote him on the mid-arm, beneath the elbow, and clean through went the point of the shining spear.
I wanted a chance to get into Van Koon's rooms, some time when he was out. Fortunately the chance came. One afternoon, when Van Koon was in our office, he and Mr. Fullaway settled to dine out together and go to the theatre afterwards. That gave me my opportunity. I made an excuse about staying late at Mr.

But before they were clear of the courtyard, Chilverton caught them and tapped Fullaway on the elbow. "Say!" he said confidentially.

And the very day after I found and took possession of the jewels we received a report from this agent that Van Koon was in the habit of visiting the shop and manufactory of a German chemist named Schmall, in Whitechapel.
Each packet bore the name of Otto Schmall, and an address in a street which runs off Mile End Road. "Now, when the private inquiry agent made his reports to Mr. Rayner and myself about Van Koon, and told us where he had been tracked to more than once, I, of course, remembered the name of Schmall, and Mr. Rayner and I began to put certain facts together. They were these: "First.

Now, you can draw your own conclusions from that mine are that Ebers stole it, so that he could reproduce it in order to give his reproduction to some person who wanted to identify James Allerdyke at sight. "However, to go forward to the discovery which we made about Schmall, Van Koon, and Merrifield. As soon as we made that discovery, Mr.
But there, fortune favoured these fellows Van Koon, for purposes of theirs, had taken up his quarters close by you in your absence the box came into his hands. And we know how the ingenious Miss Slade despoiled him of it!" The chief paused for a moment, and mechanically shifted the two parcels which stood before him.
