"I do. You are Howard, who became a detective after I last saw you."
"Right," I rejoined, and then I walked along beside her towards her humble home.
I had not thought of Mat in some days, but at sight of her he flashed into my mind.
I finally inquired about him.
"I have not see him in some time," Mrs. Morris said, in reply.
I told her of my having seen him, and then she told me about Helen.
We reached her humble home.
She then told me that she had heard from Mat, although she had not seen him. Several mornings before she had awakened to find an envelope thrust beneath the door, on opening which she found its contents to be five hundred dollars.
"Five hundred dollars!" I exclaimed, in surprise. "Will you let me see the money, Mrs. Morris?"
"Certainly."
