"I cannot recall, but there is something in your face that strikes me as very familiar."
The detective laughed in an easy manner, and answered
"Well, you'll have to depend upon your own recollections, I can't aid you to a recognition."
As the detective spoke he remembered Renie's warning words,
"Sol Burton, I fear, has his suspicions aroused."
"I noticed you turn pale when we first sighted the lights,
Ballard."
"Did you?"
"I did."
Ballard stepped close to Sol Burton, and demanded in a determined tone,
"What are you getting at? I don't like this cross-questioning."
"That's my idea, Ballard. I don't think you like this cross-questioning, and I think further there is a good reason for you not liking it."
