“Why, you heard me tell the chauffeur what I wanted,” said Dave.

“You are following that boy.”

“Who is he?”

“You remember my telling you about being robbed in a lodging house at Brompton, just before I came to Fairfield?”

“Oh, yes. You mean by the fellow who got Mr. King’s medal and watch and money?”

“That’s it.”
