Patsy was gone in a minute.
When his cab halted at the Fifth Avenue he did not leave it, for he saw Snell coming out.
The man got into a hotel carriage, and told the driver to take him to the Pennsylvania Railroad station.
This was done, and, of course, Patsy followed.
Snell bought a ticket for Chicago, and Patsy, who stood close behind him at the window, did the same.
They were almost side by side as they went to the ferry-boat, Patsy, of course, so disguised that Snell did not recognize him.
Snell went to the forward end of the boat and stood near the rail.
The detective sat down in the men’s cabin.
Hardly had he taken his seat when a man came aboard whom he had seen before.
