Renie had confessed that she had originally betrayed him to the smugglers, and then, when danger threatened, she came and warned him, and her warning failing, she came tripping to him once more, barefooted, ragged, and beautiful, and held out to him an alluring bait. There was no misunderstanding the purport of her words.
"Listen old man, I am her friend and your friend; this is no place for Renie; when she was a mere child it was all right, but now it is not safe. You must give her to me! and listen; should anyone ever come to claim her, she shall be surrendered, and you will receive any reward that may be paid!" "I do not think anyone will ever come for her, but could I solve one mystery I know where to look."
Renie was indeed a rarely lovely girl yes, upon those sands he had come upon one of the most beautiful girls he had ever beheld classically beautiful; not pretty, but, as we write it, rarely beautiful, and she had been reared in a fisherman's cabin.
"Well, I think she is as dead against us as a few dollars in gold can make a female who's fond of gewgaws, and ambitious to be a fine lady." "Do you mean to say Renie receives money?" "Well, I don't think bad enough of the gal to say she'd go agin us for fun. I tell you, boys, the thing is dead agin us unless the gal is silenced!"
Next day you remember that morning I left the house so early? I had to fix it with the books and borrow what what I needed before the banks opened. I I had to make good on them checks, Renie. I fixed it with the books, and from that time on it worked." "Oh, Izzy Izzy Izzy!"
"All of a sudden it came over me that she was the only one who could do anything with him. I ran over to the house all the way I ran, Renie. She was up in her room, and and it's all right, Renie. I told her, and she's fixed it fixed it!" "Oh, Izzy!" "She's fixed it. When he came home to supper we got him right away up in her room before he had his hat off.
The detective did not complete the sentence; voices were heard and Renie exclaimed: "You and I must not be seen talking together; farewell, and if we never meet again on earth, may we meet where there are no clouds, no shadows, no mysteries." The girl moved away and left the detective standing alone on the beach.
The detective was testing the man, seeking to satisfy himself that the stranger really was the father of the missing Renie. "Very well," said the stranger, "if you refuse to aid me, I shall prosecute the search on my own account." "That is all right, but now let me give you a little advice; do not be found running around this coast unattended; your life is in danger."
"It must be grand, Mr. Hochenheimer." "On Sunday, Miss Renie, I like for my boys and girls from the factory to come up to my place and make themselves at home. You should see my old mother how she fixes for them! I wish you could see them boys and girls, and old men and women. In a sausage-factory they don't get much time to listen to birds and water when it falls into a fountain.
Meantime, the detective had overheard the scream; and had slid away from his hiding-place, and started to run toward the point from whence the cry had come. Spencer Vance was convinced that the scream had been uttered by Renie, and, remembering Sol Burton's attack upon the girl, he suspected the man had renewed his attempt.
