II you find out where he is, and write
to him not to come, it'll be all the
same; he'll come anyway, and when
ne does come, I'll get him!"
When Miss Farnham had gone in
and there was nothing left for him to
do but to compass his own disappear
ance, Broffin went away, telling him
self with many Establishments that for
once in his professional career he had
made an ass of himself. The doctors
daughter knew the man; she had
known him before the robbery; she
was willing to be his accomplice to
the extent of her ability. There was
only one explanation of this attitude.
IN Brofins wording of it, Miss Farm
ham was gone on him." if not openly,
at least to such an extent as to make
her anxious to shield him.
That being the case, Broff1n set it
down as a fact as good as accom-
plished that the man would sooner or
later come to Wahaska. The detec.
tive's knowledge of masculine human
nature was as profoundly acute as the
requirements of his calling demanded
With woman like Miss Farnham for
the lure, he could be morally certain
that his man would some time fling
caution, or even a written prohibition
to the winds, and walk into the trap
This misfire of Broffin's happened
upon a Wednesday, which, in its cal
endar placing, chanced to be three
weeks to day after Griswold had left
Mereside to settle himself studiously
