“Ter a quiet crib dat I knows about.”
“Is it far?”
“No.”
The two men arose from the table and hurried out of the saloon.
Carter was playing a dangerous game.
Would he be able to carry it through successfully to the end?
At any moment he was liable to make a slip and Brockey would then be able to penetrate his disguise.
So far he had deceived the rascal.
As they left the saloon the detective breathed easier. He had succeeded in getting Brockey away from his friends.
That was a great point gained.
