“Where is it, I ask?”
“Blair took everything away with him,” replied Tony.
“Where is he to be found?”
“I can’t tell.”
“You mean you won’t tell.”
“I dare not.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid of Bull Blair.”
“I guess he won’t have a chance to reach you for some time to come. Did you see him take a large diamond from the safe?”
“No; I did not see any large diamond—there was an emerald.”
