Other camera men, with newspaper celerity, had captured the aristocratic features of Reggie Van Nostrand and his racing car, as he sat in it before his Fifth Avenue club. It was such a story that city editors gloated over, and it was to give the embarrassed policeman more trouble than it was worth.
"MR. GASTON: 'It would be objected to, and have to lie over one day under the rules, thus bringing about the very delay you wish to avoid. The gentleman from New Jersey "MR. VAN NOSTRAND: 'Gentlemen I am a stranger among you; I have not sought the distinction that has been conferred upon me, and I feel a delicacy "The motion was carried, and further debate shut off, of course.
"You don't know what anxiety you've caused, leaving us for for strangers, that way," she retorted, bridling; "but since you would go, I'm glad everything's turned out so been having your portrait painted? Why, it's a it is a Van Nostrand!" She had spied the painting. "It's like you, rather; but doesn't he charge a fortune?"
"The man in that taxi is a white slaver who just tried the poison needle on a girl, and you and I are going to capture him."

But before they had gone another block Burke deemed it safe to stop. He signaled Van Nostrand, who shut off the power of the miraculous car almost as easily as he had started it. Burke nearly shot over the windshield with the momentum. "Some car!" he grunted. "You make it behave better than a horse, and I think it has more brains."

The fashionable set who dwell on the east side of Central Park would have spilled their tea and cocktails about this time had they seen the elegant Reggie Van Nostrand breaking all speed records as he dashed down the next street, with his cane in one hand and his hat in the other. He reached the car, breathless, but his tango athletics had stood him in good stead.
The services which Cowperwood performed during the ensuing year and a half for Stener, Strobik, Butler, State Treasurer Van Nostrand, State Senator Relihan, representative of "the interests," so-called, at Harrisburg, and various banks which were friendly to these gentlemen, were numerous and confidential.
