Tom was sensible enough to know that this was good advice. "Your finding these letters was clever. If there are any spies in the camps they'll be rounded up double quick. As for spy work at sea, I'll tell you this, though you mustn't mention it, there are government sleuths on all the ships most of them working as hands." "Yes, sir," said Tom.
Not one of these sleuths in a black derby and false mustache you see in the movies, but a gentleman and a man of education. He's probably looking for that teller who cut a slice out of the surplus of a Massachusetts bank last week. It's not our trouble, Archie. Embezzlers and defaulters are not to my taste; we rather look down on that breed in the brotherhood.
It is not apparent that any of my well-matured plans even promised success. Every subtly framed purpose has failed. "London sleuths are camping on cold trails, tracing misleading clews, poising for unavailing swoop upon flown quarry, densely ignorant of real Lanier purposes.
To myself I call him 'Mary Jane' and his broad-shouldered, brown-bearded six feet of muscular manhood would so like to be called 'Mary Jane'! By the way, Belle, if you ever hear of murder and sudden death in my direction, better set the sleuths on the trail of Arkwright. Six to one you'll find I called him 'Mary Jane' to his face!"
In blissless ignorance of it, Zada had been inspired to set a firm of sleuths on Charity's trail. She wanted to be able to convince Cheever that Charity was intrigued with Dyckman. The operators who kept Mrs. Charity Coe Cheever under espionage had the most stupid things to report to Zada. To Zada's disgust, Mrs. Cheever never called upon Jim Dyckman, and he never called on her.
It is no other than the great Gourou himself, the king of sleuths, as they say in the books I used to read. Good morning, Baron." The sharp-visaged little Minister of Police came up to the table and fixed an accusing eye upon his sovereign, the literal truth, for he had the other eye closed in a protracted wink. "I regret to inform your majesty that the enemy is upon us," he said.
The first look at the large group of men and women lolling on the wide verandah of the hotel convinced Jimmy that none of these knew of anything big breaking. News sleuths, do not act the way these did with something big. They are up and moving. He went back to the police station. There was nothing new there. He called up Justice Higginbotham's camp and spoke to McGuire. There was nothing there.
"That's all right," roared Anderson Crow; "purduce him at once!" "Is this the fellow?" and Crosby dragged the Reverend "Jimmy" into view. There was a moment's inspection of the cadaverous face, and then the sleuths shook their heads. "Not on your life!" said Mr. Crow.
Prenter interjected. "We have never had a man in the camp as large as this negro," Harry rejoined. "Such a very large black man ought not to be hard for the detectives to locate," Prenter continued. "Very good, sir. Then you can let the sleuths have a try at the matter," Tom suggested. "Have you any telegraph blanks here?" Tom went inside, coming out with a pad of blanks. Mr.
In a hundred directions public and private sleuths are set in motion. But their untiring efforts are unavailing. They have to combat a more adroit, more nervy and more intelligent force than they have ever before been brought in contact with. The Committee of Forty has its ever watchful sentinels on guard, and every move of the detectives is anticipated and provided against.
