"It seems extraordinary," said Thomas Marks, thoughtfully. "How could the robber have known that Adin Dunham had received any money?"
"He might have seen him at your office."
"I don't pay money to every one that calls upon me," said Marks, smiling.
"No, or I should call for my installment," returned the squire jocosely. "Perhaps it might have been some one connected with the hotel company. I suppose they knew the money was to be called for to-day?"
"Yes."
"By the way, in what shape did you pay the money?"
"You mean in bills of what denomination?"
"Yes."
"In fifty-dollar bills."
"Twenty fifties then?"
