"It's all yours," said Larry. "I got the story I came down after, and that's all I want. But I would like to find this Mah Retto, if that's his name. He doesn't write much like a foreigner, though he looks like one. May I keep this note?" "As long as you don't want a share in the hundred-dollar one, I reckon you can," Bailey replied, with a laugh.
I just got another telephone message from Retto, saying that all matters were satisfactorily adjusted, and that there was no further need for Mr. Potter to hide. But he doesn't know this. I have no way of telling him, and he'll sign the papers before those men will let him go." "Tell me in which direction they went and I'll go after them!" cried Larry.
"I think he is almost well." "But how did they discover him? Who did it? How did it come about?" "It will take some time to answer all the questions," replied Larry with a smile. "I'll tell you all I can on the way to the hospital. My mysterious friend, Mah Retto, it seems, has turned out to be your father."
Has the man who was here yesterday been back?" "Yes to your first question, and no to the second. You can go up. The superintendent left word to that effect. He is quite friendly to you." Larry started for the ward where Retto was. His heart was beating strangely. He felt that he was on the verge of solving the secret of the millionaire's disappearance and restoring to Grace her father.
The truck driver had dismounted from his high seat and was quieting his frightened horses. "It wasn't my fault," he cried. "He ran right under their feet." "One side!" exclaimed a loud voice, and a burly policeman shouldered his way through. "What's the matter? Give the man some air." Retto did not look as though he would ever need air again. He seemed quite dead.
As the representative of the Scorcher handed in the last of his copy he turned to Larry and said, sneeringly: "I'll bet I've got a better story than you have." "Perhaps," was all Larry replied. Then, as Peter went back to the wreck for more information, Larry wrote, as an addition to his story, the interview with the captain, finishing with an account of the missing Mah Retto.
