"Take us to that cottage and be quick about it," said Raymond. "Will you go along?" he asked of Adam Adams and Tom Ostrello. They said they would, and set off without delay. It was rather a long walk and the old woman was out of breath when they reached the building near the top of the hill. "Watch her," said the detective to Tom Ostrello, and he and Raymond entered the cottage.
He went to see Matlock Styles and Styles threatened him with something again and Ostrello was greatly disturbed. After that Ostrello sent a money-order to his brother Dick for fifty dollars. He is now going to New York again and I shall follow." This communication set Adam Adams to thinking once more. That Tom Ostrello and Matlock Styles had something in common there could be no doubt.
"I believe you wish to see me," was the reply, as the detective closed the door and locked it again. "Sit down, Mr. Ostrello. I am Adam Adams." "Oh, I er I didn't quite recognize you in that dress." "I suppose not." There was a brief pause. "Mr. Ostrello, if you wish to speak to me, I am at your disposal for the next hour." "Thank you." The young commercial traveler cleared his throat.
"Yes, but if that is true, then you are guilty. You got that poison from Henry Bloom, and he told Tom Ostrello that he let you have it. There is where you blundered. Ostrello and others are on your track. You can't escape unless you can prove an alibi, too." Again John Watkins shrank back as if struck a blow. "Who who told this who says " he began hoarsely. "Matlock Styles."
"Oh, well, if you must know, it was Mr. Ostrello, Mrs. Langmore's son. He wanted er some books he left here some time ago. I don't know why he left in such a hurry. Perhaps because he didn't wish to meet you." "Then you admit you lied to me, do you?" At this the woman broke down completely and began to cry. "I didn't want to do any wrong, sir.
Number Four had never mentioned Barry Langmore when speaking of the members of the gang, and when questioned about the man, said he had known him by sight and that was all. Less than an hour after he had sent out the messenger, there came a knock on the door and Tom Ostrello presented himself. "You are the gentleman that wishes to see me?" he inquired.
The train was just coming in and he saw Tom Ostrello get on board, and he entered the car directly behind the commercial traveler. The young man passed through to the smoker and the detective did the same. Two seats were vacant, directly across the aisle from each other and each took one. Presently Ostrello looked at Adam Adams and started slightly and then bowed.
I have just left one happy couple and here I find another." "You mean Tom Ostrello and that young lady from your office?" asked Raymond. And then, as the detective nodded, he went on: "I met them, and I asked them to come here. Margaret wanted to see them." "I wish Tom to know that I want to be friends, always," said Margaret. "We have had enough of trouble in the family.
"You want me to look out for counterfeits?" "Exactly." "That is not so easy, but I'll do my best," went on Charley Vapp, and then he asked a number of questions regarding Tom Ostrello, all of which Adam Adams answered as well as he was able. "You are to stay on this case until I tell you to drop it," said the detective.
I didn't do the job, and I am not going to let him shift the responsibility on my shoulders. He's a fool. Don't everybody think the girl is guilty, and if they clear her isn't there another string to the bow?" "You mean Tom Ostrello?" "That's it. So he told you about that, too," came from the secret service man bitterly. "Well, he isn't the man I thought he was.
