CAPTAIN TANTRELLA ARRIVES
"Grace! What is the matter?" exclaimed a woman's voice, and looking up Larry saw Mrs. Potter.
"Nothing, mother," replied the girl. "This is Mr. Larry Dexter. He just brought me some news. Oh, mother, that wasn't papa we saw out in the street!"
"I knew it, dear, as soon as I saw his face."
Larry felt rather uncomfortable, for Mrs. Potter and Grace showed signs of emotion.
"I was telling your daughter," he said to Mrs. Potter, "that I think I have located the man who knows where your husband is."
"Oh, I hope you have," exclaimed Mrs. Potter. "This suspense is awful. Who is he? Where is he?"
Larry related the circumstances of his chase after Retto, telling how he had located the man at the hotel.
"I'll go and see him to-morrow," he said, "before he has a chance to get away. He does not suspect that I know where he is."
