"Nice lot, ain't they?" he said. "Gee, chief, but it was funny, from my standpoint. I was just outside the other house while it was all happening. I thought that was the place for me, for I did not know that Chick had Gordon with him, and I did know that the senator was with you. I thought Chick might need me, when it came to the typing-up act."
"Quite right. Now, Patsy, Chick says that the first man captured- the one you put out of business, is Mustushimi's lieutenant."
"That's correct."
"I want you to go after him and bring him here at once. How long will it take you?"
"Between twenty minutes and half an hour."
"Get him here as soon as you can. I want to make him talk."
"Put you on the track of Mustushimi?"
"Yes. I am not sure that the rank and file of his followers would know where he would be apt to hide; but it is likely that the Frenchman will know. And I am bound to get that man, and at once; else my work is not half done. I'd like to finish it all up to-night, if possible; and I think I will."
