"Yes, all. It will not be child's play. I think Mr. Warren is the man to lead one party, for there must be two. I, myself, will manage the other. As for you and Gerry—"
"Gerry?" inquiringly.
"Gerald Brown, our night operator. You will find him equal to most emergencies, I think."
"And what are we to do?"
"Some special business which will depend on circumstances. We must capture the gang outside of the town, if possible, and the farther away the better."
"But—"
"Wait. There are others who must not take the alarm too soon."
"They will ride fleet horses; remember that."
"Long," I said, earnestly, "we won't let them escape us. If they ride, we will pounce upon them at the very outset. But if my theory, which has thus far proven itself correct, holds good to the end they will not ride."
