"Then I'll tell you where he is. He's gone to Bar Harbor—in Maine, you know."
The detective nodded.
"He went on a yacht—the Juno—owned by Mr. Schuyler Roper—a rich New York gentleman."
"But how did he get into such company?"
"Oh, Mr. Roper took pity on him and gave him a place."
"Then you think he is comfortably situated?"
"Yes, but he won't be long."
"Why not?"
"Because I have written a letter to Mr. Roper, telling him Jed's real character. I expect he'll be bounced when that letter arrives."
