"That man is now known as Redalli, eh?" muttered Oscar, and there came a gleam in his eyes which few could read.
"We do not scare, as easily as you think, Redalli. I tell you there is a man on our track who is quietly running us down, and if we do not dispose of him he will spoil all our work of years."
"We will dispose of him; but what have you gentlemen been doing? Why did you not dispose of him?"
"We have completed our plans."
Girard proceeded and related all the arrangements for disposing of Oscar and all the other men who might be working with him. Redalli listened attentively and finally said:
"That is all right; but, gentlemen, we will make a fortune anyhow. We can move on while these men are locating us. We are all ready to shoot forth one of the greatest floods ever sent driving over this or any other land; in fact we will sweep over Canada and Mexico. I have managed our affair, I believe, in a satisfactory manner. One day this week all the agents will be in New York. We will distribute the stuff and send them abroad. The sweep will commence in three days. Under our present arrangements we will have gathered in several millions of dollars. No such plan was ever attempted or worked out."
"How many agents are there?"
"There are eleven men."
"And where are all the documents?"
"Here in New York."
