until the nigh. of the party. He hasn't
seen the girl very much, then, should
think. | do hope she won't be little
fool and take up with him after all. |
would treat to know what Hall is going
to do with her, but no matter. / will
bet my last cent she won't be hurt IN
any way, for he is as good as his word.
And 50 | am to wire Jim the evening of
the 29th. Yes, | see. 1t won't be until
the morning of the Both, and then -
Hal Ha! / see, Hall, old boy. jim
must come Immediately. Wonder how
he found out all of those things, but it
does not make any difference to me, for
/ am ready for S. f. n. any time"
The unknown then threw the letter
into the CRATE and watched it burn into
ashes.
The next few days passed YEARLY
enough for the unknown, for he had his
work all done, except informing the
police.
On the evening of the 10Th he leisure
" strolled out of the hotel, down street,
until he came to the Office of the Chief
of Police.
He found the officer in, and as he en-
tered he handed him card on which
was printed his name and business.
Every we'll, Mr.. Douglass; is there
anything | can do for you?"
eyes, sir, there is. You see, I have
spent considerable time on this case,
which, of course, you do not know very
much about as yet.
"Of course you are always on the
lookout for Jim the Desperate and it
is he that | have been shadowing for
the last two or three months.
Il have found out that on the night of
the thirtyfirst of this month he in
tends to make a raid on the First Ma
tional Bank of this city, and | have
everything so arranged that you can
easily catch him in the very act.
OF course, we detectives never enter
into full particulars as to how we know
of these things; but nevertheless you
know we do, and | want you to be sure
and be on time and ready to enter the
back door of the bank at one o'clock
the morning of December L."
Every well; / will be there and Sc
cure the man. You are right when
you say we have been on the lookout
for that character, and when we once
get him in cell we will keep him
there or give him some rope Is that
all you want?"
Not quite I have special favor
that | want to ask of you and it must
be granted"
If it is within my power you shall
have it."
II guess it is, and YOU can very
easily do as | wish. There are two
beautiful girls in Chicago at Jims
home whom he has very much wronged,
and one is kept there as his prisoner
l have sent a party on to the city to
release the girl and let her go to her
home Now, what | want is this
That after the trial you take this man
back to Chicago and to his own home.
He will want to go, for, of course, he
will want to see the girls. Those girls
will not be there, and his home will be
forsaken; of course you will have to go
with him, and after you get him there,
convince him that that beautiful young
girl that he was going to force into
marriage with him is now entirely out
of his power. Will you and can you do
this, Captain"
Eyes, | will do it, but that is little
out of our line. No matter, though,
it is worth a good deal to have such a
prisoner in our power"
Every well, sir, that is all want.
Goodnight"
And the unknown left the office to
return to the hotel, knowing that most
of his work was done.
