"Not just yet," said Tracey hesitatingly; "you see, he's Gerty's step-father after all. I guess we'll make him confess, and then chuck him out of the country. I don't want him to be arrested."
"We can't be sure of his guilt yet, either."
"No. That's a fact. Bocaros is keeping something back."
"What about Mrs. Baldwin?"
"She's all right. I've got her quiet. So long as this man doesn't cross her track she'll lie still. If he does----"
"Well. What if he does?"
"She'll drop him with that pistol of hers."
"Nonsense. She can't shoot!"
"She'll get the bullet into the heart of Jasher somehow, if he is her husband, as seems likely. The woman is mad with fear, and she'll get him out of her life somehow. I say, Calvert, don't say anything to any one of the rubbish she talks."
"No I won't--not if she shoots Jasher. And if he's the murderer, it would be about the best thing that could happen. For the sake of Mrs. Fane and the child, for Laura's sake, I want things hushed up."
