“He’s on the shadow,” said Patsy.
“Yes; but who?”
“I ain’t sure,” said Patsy, “but I’ll bet that it’s that man with the black frock coat, black hat and full beard.”
Chick and Patsy both separated in order that they might give the signal to Nick that they were in the neighborhood.
But each kept their eyes upon those they were following.
Spike Thomas and Bally Morris were still standing on the corner they had selected, and Seaman was on the corner opposite them.
As Nick neared the corner he made a rapid signal which showed that he had received theirs, but made no effort to join them.
In the meantime the man Chick and Patsy had selected as the one followed by Nick went on to the corner, where he went to Seaman, touching him on the shoulder and shaking hands with him.
“I’ll bet,” said Chick, “that the man is the lawyer, Elwell.”
“How do you know?” asked Patsy.
