It was to be a game of hide-and-seek, and he felt assured that with the brave and magical Cad Metti he could give them points on a double shadow. He stole down the stairs, gained the street, and as he walked away he was joined by Cad, and he said: "Well, sis, you appeared at the right moment." "Yes, Oscar, I feared they had some desperate game to pay. I knew your rashness.
The distributors of these vows carry a basket full of them in one hand, and hold a plate in the other, to receive the money, crying out, "Saints Cosmo and Damianus!" If you ask the price of one, the answer is, "più ci metti, più meriti;" the more you give, the more the merit.
The latter lived with a countrywoman who had kept boarders, but who was only too glad to give up her general boarding business to become a housekeeper for Cad Metti, the latter having rescued and adopted two Italian children from the street, a boy and girl, whom she had determined to educate and advance in life in case both proved worthy.
"I've long wanted a chance like this." "I know it." "I can make my own terms when they learn what I can do." "I know it." Our readers can readily imagine the feelings of Dudie Dunne as he listened to this wonderful revelation. He realized that he and Cad Metti had made the hit of their lives, or rather had a chance to do so.
Cad Metti, the strange, weird girl, who could flit from place to place like a shadow, who could change her appearances as readily as a change actress on the stage, glided away, and our hero, who also, as our readers will recall, had worked a change, boldly went to the house which Cad had indicated as the place where the woman and Girard had entered.
"Everywhere." "I'll put it straight. Where shall we start in?" Again the beautiful Cad Metti pondered, and after an interval said: "Criminals as a rule are fond of race betting." "That's so." "We've picked up many a clue down at the race track." "We have." "Let's try a little chumming down there.

Cad Metti's home was not far from the residence of her male professional partner, and the pair were in constant communication. Oscar was an adept at disguises, and he had found in Cad Metti a ready scholar, and between them they had studied the art of disguise as a science and both had become very versatile and proficient.

"Then it's a bet?" "Yes." "You saw Cad Metti within the last five minutes." "I did?" "Yes." "Where?" "That you should know. I tell you that you have seen her." "I say I never have."
The boy laughed, said "thank you," and walked away, and Dunne said: "You have never seen Cad Metti?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Why, certainly, I'd know if I had ever seen her." "You would?" "Yes." "Wise, your memory fails you." "I've never been accused of loss of memory." "You never have?" "No." "And yet you've seen Cad Metti." "Never." "You are sure." "Certainly." "You saw her once talking to me."
But once let us secure the leaders and there will follow a wholesale squeal, and we can break up the gang." "All right, I am in with you. I will see Cad Metti and talk the matter over with you later on." "I should like to meet your female pal."
