Have YOU any idea where he is like |
II to be now?' asked Murray.
NO. 1 haven't" was the reply; but
can tell you one thing-they have pien- /
ty Of money wherever they are In the
first two or three years of the war they
had coin TO burn and the old woman
was a person that believed in saving
some OF il for the future 1 did near
that they had left the country.
Get your magnifying glass, SAID
Murray. 'and take another good look
at these phoney bills MT
The ex-counterfeiter complied With
v-rinkIed brow he pored carefully
through his glass over the different de-
Signs. following the twist of every line
and letter. For three hours he conduct
ed this painstaking examination WINE
MURRAY watched him. Finally the stu
dent laid his glass down ana pusheo
the bills back to the detective
seWell." aueried Murray. VINO GO you
/ think il is? Mark Ulrich?"
( NO sir responded the encounter
feiter emDbaticaIly Zurich had no
hand in that Job. Hill may have done
/ the States 5 bill. but Johnson dld tne
/ Canada bills I'm as sure of that as
would be of my own work-in the oio
days"
and YOU can't figure out where
! Johnson may be-" asked Murray
4 haven't any idea" was the reply.
/ Il tried to find out something about
him last night. but could only learn
that he Is out of the country, perhaps
gone TO England. unless there is some
thing doing on the continent"
Murray searched New York for sew
/ eral DAYS for traces of the astute john
/ son. but his exertions were unrewaro-
Cd. It seemed as though the entire
/ johnson family had vanished into Cd
1ivion from the moment they lett Fan
River. A trip to Buffalo met with no
better success, and from there Murray
went to Detroit, where he looked UP q
former expert note engraver who had
also given up the counterfeiting pro-
fession and made his peace with the
law. This man could give no clue to
the missing Johnsons, but promised to
notify the detective should be chance to
strike their trail
Considering all the ms and outs OF
the affair. Murray came to the conclu-
sion that the Johnsons had either gone
abroad OF moved to Canada. and were
in personal charge OF the distribution e
the counterfeit money. If such was the
case it marked a departure from tire
usual methods of bad money experts,
for as a rule the engravers or plate
| makers had nothing to 90 with "shov-
ing or passing the bogus bills. The de-
tective went TO his room in the hotel
at Detroit and became so wrapped up
in contemplation of the case that he
failed TO notice the rapid flight of
; time. and in consequence missed the
. early train he had intended to take.
. And this, as il turned out. was destined
! to be an aIi-impoT1snt link in the chs in
Of chance events which was to lead to
his quarry
Murray took the next train for 70
rontO. reasoning that if the Johnsons
were in Canada they would be likely TO
f be found in or about that city. Arriv
] ing in Toronto at night he entered q
i saloon for the purpose of obtaining 2
little LIQUID refreshment, and caught
= sight of q figure at the far end OF the
bar that looked oddly familiar. The
| figure turned and Murray was barely
able Is check the exclamation of de-
: lighted surprise that rose to his lips
Q After all his weary travelling and DAYS
J of baffied hopes. chance had given him
the opportunity so long desired. For
the person was none other than John
: ME johnson. son Of the much sought
= for Edwin johnson.
: johnson stood alone drinking. and
: shortly after II o'clock took his de-
parture. Murray darted out swiftly by
4 another door, arriving on the street in
: ! time to see johnson get into cab and
: / drive away. He was out of sight be-
fore Murray could obtain a hack to fol
= low him. but that made little differ
ence to the detective IL was evident
- that young johnson was living with
4 mis- family either in or near Toronto
4 and he felt certain of seeing him agar
n in a short time.
