Talbot was not conscious of observation. Indeed, he was not observed, except by Dan, whose business it was to watch him.
The division being made, he opened the safe and placed the package therein.
"Not quite smart enough, Mr. Talbot," thought Dan. "You will need more watching."
He was anxious to communicate his discovery to the detective outside, but for some time had no opportunity.
About an hour later he was sent out on an errand. He looked about him in a guarded manner till he attracted the attention of the outside detective. The latter, in answer to a slight nod, approached him carelessly.
"Well," he asked, "have you any news?"
"Yes," answered Dan. "Mr. Talbot has divided the money into two packages, and one of them he has put into his own pocket."
"What has he done with the other?"
"Put it into the safe."
