They were never buried in the cellar to be found by some future archæologist. To conclude it was the greatest capture of counterfeiters' outfit ever made, and to Cad Metti and Oscar belonged all the credit; and from the profession and the government they received it.
"You think you would have recognized her?" "Yes." "Under any cover?" "Yes." "You have seen her all the same." Wise was thoughtful a moment and then exclaimed: "Great Scott! it is impossible." "No, sir." "Do you mean to tell me that " "Yes, I mean to tell you that the messenger lad was Cad Metti." "Great Cæsar! Oscar Dunne, that girl is a marvel." "Well, she is."
"Whoever did so knew what they were talking about. Cad Metti is one of the brightest women that ever entered the profession; she is a born detective. What is the job?" "There is a gang at work the worst ever known. They are Italians, but they have a contingent of American and English rogues working with them. They are the most dangerous operators that ever organized for the coining of base money.
The girl earned a good reward and when Oscar asked her what she proposed to do her answer was: "I shall become a detective," and then and there a partnership was formed between Oscar Dunne and Caroline Metti.
They went on the course and played the rôle they had determined to play to perfection. They attracted considerable attention and that was what they most desired, for it was their "chumming" game to bring around the fish. Oscar Dunne and Cad Metti were indeed great experts in enacting a rôle. They took a seat in the grand stand and through a messenger boy bet on the races.
"Well done," said Oscar as he gazed at the wonderful girl, Cad Metti, and an instant later he said: "Now I will leave you. I must get on the track of those scoundrels." Cad and Oscar did not stop to exchange farewells. The latter moved away rapidly toward the point where he had had the encounter with the three ruffians whom he and his female comrade had served out so well.
Oscar, gotten up as a female, was on the "shadow," and very speedily all that Cad Metti had told him was confirmed. He saw two men following his talented counterfeit, and he followed them, and at the proper moment rejoined Cad. The second change was made and Oscar proceeded to the restaurant to meet the siren.
Cad Metti dropped her fine feathers as though by magic, and in her stead appeared a plain-looking country girl, while the dude vanished, and in his stead appeared a regular sporting appearing young fellow. No one would have recognized in either the two who had sat on the piazza of the hotel eating their dinner and cooing like two turtle-doves.
You need not fear me when I know you have them dead to rights, as you must have them after a lay-in up in that eavesdropping den of mine. No, no, they will get no hint from me. I am not in with that gang. I am in with you, and you've got 'em, and I am glad. They have not used me right anyhow." "Then you fully understand?" "I do." "All right." Oscar stole forth and Cad Metti joined him.
