"I shouldn't mind that," answered John Watkins.
"Where are you going to-morrow?"
"To New York—to nose around."
"Want to locate the counterfeits?"
"I want to see if they have been reported. I've got a certain idea about them, but I am not sure if I am right."
"What's the idea?"
"That Langmore girl has engaged a detective named Adam Adams to clear her, if he can. He was dodging around the house when I was there, and somehow it's got into my head that he knows about the counterfeits."
"Does he belong to the secret service?"
"No, he's a private detective. I don't know much about him, but they say he's a pretty good one," continued John Watkins.
"You think he opened the safe?"
