The other old bag, stolen from me, contains the paste replica you had made to deceive me." It was all so confused that I do not know how it happened. I think it was Muller who opened the safe. "There is the new yellow bag," cried Moulton, "from Schloss' own safe. Open it." McLear had taken it. He did so. There sparkled not the real gems, but the replica. "The devil!"
On the door of the office to which McLear took us was one of those small blue plates which chance visitors to Maiden Lane must have seen often. To the initiated be he crook or jeweler this simple sign means that the merchant is a member of the Jewelers' Security Alliance, enough in itself, it would seem, to make the boldest burglar hesitate.
She produced last year an amount, in cash value, of carriages greater than her iron ships, greater than her cotton fabrics, being one million four hundred thousand dollars. The engraving shows the outside magnitude of McLear & Kendall's factory, the largest in the city, but cannot show the curious effect of the great show-room, filled with rockaways, buggies of all kinds, and park phaetons.
You may have shown him how to leave no finger prints, but you yourself have left what is just as good- -your own forehead print. McLear you were right. There's your criminal Lynn Moulton, professional fence, the brains of the thing." Lynn Moulton made no fight and Kennedy did not pursue the case, for, with the rescue of Antoinette Moulton, his interest ceased.
"One of the most amazing robberies that has ever been attempted has been reported to us this morning," announced James McLear, manager of the Hale Electric Protection, adding with a look half of anxiety, half of skepticism, "that is, if it is true."
Moulton exclaimed, breaking from Winters and seizing the old bag. He tore it open and it was empty. "One moment," interrupted Kennedy, looking up quietly from the counter. "Seal that safe again, McLear. In it are the Schloss jewels and the products of half a dozen other robberies which the dupe Muller or Stein, as you please pulled off, some as a blind to conceal the real criminal.
