And she was admiring it, for it was of black silk, and handsome, when something within it stirred! She retreated until the night-stick and the kidnaper knife were between her and the poke. "Hadn't we better be st-starting?" she faltered nervously. The Piper marked her manner, and showed instant resentment of it. "This here thing was handed me once in part-payment," he explained.
"The same interest that a burglar has in the rap of a policeman's night-stick." "Then your experiment to-day has some connection with the solution of the great mystery?" "My dear fellow," said Hall, laying his hand on my shoulder, "until I see the end of that mystery I shall think of nothing else."
And then the dog would change into a bow-legged policeman swingin' a night-stick threatenin'. All of which a barber friend of Henry's told him meant trouble in the pot and that he must beware of a false friend who came across the water. The barber got it straight from a dream book, and there must be something in it, for hadn't Henry been done out of $3 by a smooth talkin' guy from Staten Island?

The other prodded with his night-stick against the capacious overcoat pockets. Then he laughed. "I'll bet yuh 've got about forty dollars stowed away in there," he mocked. "Yuh have now, have n't yuh?"
The bigger of the two policemen prodded the other in the ribs with his night-stick. "That's on us, Jakey. He'll have been gone hours ago. Let's be drilling. 'Tis a fine mind ye have, Mr. Blount, to be thinking of thim back stairs right off the bat." And the pair went down in the elevator with Blount, chuckling to themselves at their own discomfiture.
His muscles, that had been weakened by the cowardly blow, grew strong. He felt his fist land heavily on some one's face. He heard a smothered gasp of pain. Then came the sound of footsteps running Tom heard the "ping" of a policeman's night-stick on the sidewalk. "Here come the cops!" he heard one voice exclaim. "Did you get it?" asked another. "No, I can't find it. Cut for it now!"
We want all the help we c'n get." By way of reply the officer stooped and drummed a loud alarm on the sidewalk with his night-stick. "Say," he panted, rising, "you're a wonder, Hickey if you get him." "Uh-huh," grunted the detective with a sidelong glance at Maitland. "C'm 'long."
