"I think you're right, but I'd like to know how you get at it." "Well, I ain't no Old Sleuth nor Sherlock Holmes," said the sheriff, "but I've lived some years out of doors. I ain't workin' out no chain of reasonin'; I'm just usin' my eyes and a bit of savvy. This is how she works out: "McHale and McCrae is both foot-loose, and both know this part of the country.
"We didn't want anything of that sort," said her stepmother hastily. "But of course well, I expect I'm still feeling the worry now. I don't seem able to forget it. Those days of waiting, of of " she restrained herself; another moment and the word "starving" would have left her lips. "But everything's all right now," said Bunting eagerly, "all right, thanks to Mr. Sleuth, that is."
I soon began, also, to purchase and trade "Beadle's Dime Novels" and, to tell the truth, I took an exquisite delight in Old Sleuth and Jack Harkaway. My taste was catholic. I ranged from Lady Gwendolin to Buckskin Bill and so far as I can now distinguish one was quite as enthralling as the other.
And her rider, too, had time to look around. His glance at once fell upon the stranger, and he knew that it was the man he wanted to talk to. The two men met with little formality. "Sheriff Fyles?" Tresler said as he came up. There was something wonderfully picturesque yet businesslike about this prairie sleuth. This man was the first of his kind he had seen, and he studied him with interest.
Should they grow in my heart and then be crushed again, I know not what should become of me. I could not live. 'Well, this is my programme: To tarry here as best I may until the spring. It would not be safe for me to venture away any sooner, for the sleuth hounds are on my track.
Plucking up courage, she followed him. Yes, Mr. Sleuth was right. The fog was lifting rolling off in that sudden, mysterious way in which local fogs sometimes do lift in London. He turned sharply from the window. "Our conversation has made me forget an important thing, Mrs. Bunting. I should be glad if you would just leave out a glass of milk and some bread-and-butter for me this evening.
Instantly Willie Case was transformed again into the shrewd and death defying sleuth. At a safe distance he followed the girl and the bear through one alley after another until they came out upon the road which leads south from Payson. He was across the road when she joined Bridge and his companions.
I went to his typewriter when I saw that the pages were all typed, and took out some note-paper, from the bronze rack." "And then, Miss Sleuth?" "Don't laugh at me. I had heard of the legal phrase 'corroborative evidence, so knowing that it would be necessary to connect that typewriter with the book, I rattled off a few lines on the machine.
She only knew that Anderson Crow had not "run down" his clew, nor had the New York sleuth reported for weeks. Undoubtedly, the latter had given up the search, for the last heard of him was when he left for Europe with his wife for a pleasure trip of unknown duration. It looked so dark and hopeless to her, all of it.
Sleuth went out, and that same evening there came two parcels addressed to his landlady. These parcels contained clothes. But it was quite clear to Mrs. Bunting's eyes that they were not new clothes. In fact, they had evidently been bought in some good second-hand clothes-shop. A funny thing for a real gentleman like Mr. Sleuth to do!
