He was honest in saying that he could not imagine how the bonds had been stolen, and yet he was also honest in not wanting to know the truth." "He might have confided in me," I said.

"But what makes you so serious?" "Was I?" "I should say so! You haven't told me one funny thing that Mr. Damon has said lately." "Oh, haven't I? Well, let me see now," and he sent the machine up a little.

And now, I think we have Rad's case well in hand. In spite of the fact that he seems bound to be hung, we shall not have much difficulty in getting him off."
