When we arrived at the Dodge house, Aunt Josephine and Marie were fully dressed. Jennings let us in.
"What has happened?" demanded Kennedy breathlessly.
While Aunt Josephine tried to tell him, Craig was busy examining the room.
"Let us see the library," he said at length.
Accordingly down to the library we went. Kennedy looked about. He seemed to miss something.
"Where is the armor?" he demanded.
"Why, the men came for it and took it away to repair," answered
Jennings.
Kennedy's brow clouded in deep thought.
Outside we had left our taxi, waiting. The door was open and a new footman, James, was sweeping the rug, when past him flashed a dishevelled hairy streak.
We were all standing there still as Craig questioned Jennings about the armor. With a yelp Rusty tore frantically into the room. A moment he stopped and barked. We all looked at him in surprise. Then, as no one moved, he seemed to single out Kennedy. He seized Craig's coat in his teeth and tried to drag him out.
