"I have heard the name of Harvey Middleton. Is—is the lady in New York?"
"Yes; she is staying at the St. Nicholas Hotel."
"And she wants to find me?"
"Yes, she authorized me to seek you out?"
"Well," said Rudolph, after a brief pause, "I'm found. What next?"
"I shall at once send a messenger to Mrs. Middleton, and await her orders. You will stay here."
He went to the door and called "John," in a loud voice.
"Look here," said Rudolph, suspiciously, "just tell me one thing. There ain't any trap is there?"
"Trap, my good friend? What can you possibly mean?"
"You ain't sending for the police?"
