“Yes, sir.�
“Well, you can’t get there any too quickly to please me.�
When the detective leaned back in his seat again, Chick said to him:
“Won’t the police up there already have telephoned to him, don’t you think?�
“Sure thing,� replied the detective. “I am going there in order to see Mr. Lynne as soon as possible after he gets the information. It may be that they will be slow up there about sending it.�
“Do you mean to tell him the entire story, just as it is?�
“That is my present intention; but I haven’t finally decided upon it. I shall be governed by circumstances in that matter. Have you ever seen this J. Cephas Lynne, Chick?�
“N-no; I don’t think I have.�
“Have you, Patsy?�
“No; not that I know of. I might have seen him without knowing who he was.�
