“Conventionally?” he asked.

“Artistically,” responded Jimmy, nodding his bandaged head. “A runaway motor-car that followed my cab—beautifully done. The cab horse was killed and the driver has a concussion, but I saw the wheeze and jumped.”

“Got the chauffeur?” asked Angel anxiously.

“Yes; it was in the City. You know the City police? Well, they had him in three seconds. He tried to bolt, but that’s a fool’s game in the City.”

“Was it Spedding’s chauffeur?”

Jimmy smiled pityingly.

“Of course not. That’s where the art of the thing comes in.”

Angel looked grave for a minute.

“I think we ought to ‘pull’ our friend,” he said.
