Stanton left the elevator almost on a
run, and pushed into the crowd, but the
boy seemed still following him. He was
sure his eyes were fixed on him. He
knew his feet were close behind him.
He almost thought that he could hear
him saying to everyone he met: "Dat's
him. OATS de Malcolm. Catch on?"
Till now Raymond had not entered
into his calculations. Suddenly, while
pushing his way through the crowd, it
occurred to him as most reasonable
thing that he might have discovered his
error and be on the alert.
IF he should catch on he could cas-
lily stop the best plans could lay, till
after IL o'clock, at least" he muttered;
and, with that thought connecting the
two, the phantom boy behind him sud-
denly became a spy of Raymond's, fol-
lowing him to the registrars. He
changed his plans, hurried to Jersey
City, and even took the precaution to
engage the services of an obscure cler-
gyman whose name he CHANGED to
know.
''Fool,' he muttered, on the way
back. "He'd think of Jersey City as
quickly as did. I'll throw him off the
track"
To do this he made the record in
New York, and, the idea still progress
ing, continued the plan by securing
a permit from the Brooklyn Office, and
then began the arduous task of waiting
till eight o'clock.
