Soon, after using hand-cuffs on the man and woman, and leaving Jim in charge of them and Mick the Wolf, Steingall joined him. But, search as they might, they could not find either Winifred or Voles. Almost beside himself with rage, Carshaw rushed back to the grim-visaged Rachel. "Where is she?" he cried. "What have you done with her? By Heaven, I'll kill you "
"You practically refer me to a lawyer for advice; I take you at your word," he said, with a quick return to the self-controlled attitude of an experienced man of the world. "You decline, then, to answer the only vitally important question I have put to you?" said Steingall.
Steingall was big, blond, muscular, a genial giant whose qualities rendered him almost popular among the very criminals he hunted, whereas those same desperadoes feared the diminutive Clancy, the little, slight, dark-haired sleuth of French-Irish descent. He, they were aware instinctively, read their very souls before Steingall's huge paw clutched their quaking bodies.
Degeneracy had claimed him as its own, yet some streak of a nobler heredity had struggled to exert its influence, only to fail. Steingall put no more questions, and Lamotte relapsed into silence, smoking nonchalantly while the police captain's pen was scratching a transcript of the shorthand notes. Curtis caught Steingall's eye, and drew him aside.
At the round table, Quinny alone, absorbing energy as he devoured the conversation, having routed Steingall on the Germans and archæology and Rankin on the origins of the Lord's Prayer, had seized a chance remark of De Gollyer's to say: "There are only half a dozen stories in the world. Like everything that's true it isn't true."
"We're to be good little boys, and sit still, and say nothing, and do as we're told," said Devar. "I'm not asking impossibilities," said Steingall, who had a dry humor, and seldom missed a chance of gratifying it. "I have merely laid down a proviso which must be observed, not for a day, or a week, but as long as any of us is alive. State affairs are not the property of individuals.
No man is ever admitted to our house." "It is a small, old-fashioned residence, but very large for the requirements of two women?" continued Steingall. He took no notes, and might have been discussing the weather, now that the first whiff of wonderment as to Winifred's lack of information about her birth-place had passed. "Yes. We have several rooms unoccupied." "And unfurnished?"
In obedience to orders, he ran along Grand Street, and halted the car on the south side of W. H. Seward Park. "Remain here, if we do not return earlier, till one o'clock," Steingall told him, "and then run slowly along East Broadway to the corner of Montgomery Street. We are going to Morris Siegelman's restaurant, which is a few doors higher up, on the north side.
They come first, all the time. If they don't suit our convenience, we must simply adjust ourselves to the new conditions." "You alarm me, Steingall," cried Devar. "Have we been drawn into an international squabble? Don't tell me that Devar's canned salmon is really a deadly sort of bomb." "I've heard more improbable things. But you would not be your father's son, Mr.
"Why omit the equally damning evidence of conspiracy?" demanded Curtis. "What do you mean, you, you " "Interloper. How will that serve? It was you who spoke of conspiring, though I grant you seem to have dropped that item of the indictment. But Mr. Steingall, as representing the law, should hear the full tale of villainy.
