“It has been inserted for the last two weeks, daily. How happens it that you did not see it sooner?”
“I have been away from the city. It was only an accident that I happened to see it to-day.”
“A lucky accident, Mr. Rugg.”
“I hope it is, sir, for I’ve been out of luck. What is the business, sir?”
“My business has been to find you.”
“What for?”
“For a client of mine—an English lady.”
“A lady?” ejaculated the tramp.
Yes.”
