Hendricks, who had thrown himself
ing his visitor with such a ma!evolent
look that even the careless Jebbs grew
uneasy, and stopped the mechanical
movements of his jaws for a few min
utes to say:
''Whatcher eying me SO fierce like
and when I had good news to tell ye,''
adopting an injured tone.
When you left me the other night
you met a man who came In coupe,
you talked to him for a time on the
corner, and then you both went off In
the carriage together"
Jebbs seemed at first startled by
this sudden charge flung at him. but
1t was only a moment before he re-
covered his equanimity.
$50 It was that worried you. eh p
yes, it looked like too much
double dealing
We'll. s'help me, I never see that
party fore in my life, an I was
s'prised as you'd be when he tackled
me on the corner. He knew me,
thought" with grimace.
How did he know your
We'll, sir, he had 1t all down fine
how I was mixed up in a little affair
some time ago-somethin' that would
surely have landed me If they could ha'
got the proofs. He could ha got
enough--he showed me that in a
jiffy. When ! found that out was
mighty meek
And you never saw him before?"
Never I can call to mind"
Job remained in silence for some
minutes, his eyes on the floor, only
raising them now and then to cast a
keen, inquisitive look at his visitor,
We'll, what is this great news that
you have brought me?" he asked, af-
ter a time.
Muffin more nor less than that I
have found our man."
Are you quite sure Of that?'' lit
tie sheptically
No mistake about it," pursued Jebbs
cheerfully. Eye see, it come about in
this way. Ever since we had that last
talk been hangin onto the heels of
Teller who has gener'lly been one OF
his right-hund men. He's q big Dutch
man, goes by the name Of Browny on
the Bowery, cause his hair Is bright
brown. Him and me has been great
friends and emptied many can to-
gether. I never could get him to talk
of his work, or the man who employed
feelin kind O proud and him lookin's
If he'd be more comfortable on the
floor and admin in that direction.
Into this joint, where we was maxim
merry, come little Teller that passed
the place where we sot, and gin the
Brown man a jog, and passed on and
out the other door, and so away.
II see my friend, sleepy like, put his
hand down in his pocket, and fetch up
a three cornered bit O. paper, and
opens it and reads. There was on'y a
few marks and a number that
couldn't make out. When I was SEEM
him home, though, snagged it. and
here it isl and from an inner pocket
he produced two-inch square piece of
paper. which bore the figure Of fox,
or what meant to pass for such, and
the simple numbers Is.
"Pooh!" and Job threw 1t aside. II
don't see anything in that"
Jebbs replaced the paper in his pock-
ct, as If greatly disappointed.
You been so long away that it's
natural ,'e don't see nuthin' in it. Now,
I'll tell We what I get out Of 1t"
We'll l am listening.
Ye Sc this figure what's meant to
represent fox. That Is the sign OF q
