"Of course I feel some interest in his welfare," she said; "that's but natural."
"Quite natural, my tear—quite so. Und you vould like to see him brosper, eh?"
"What do you mean? What are you driving at, Jake?"
"You know you dold me you gave him some hint of der old voman's gold."
Sadie started, and cast a glance of apprehension toward Barney.
"Oh, dot vos all right, Sadie. Parney was Hen's barticular friend, und he schust heard to-night dot der bolice hav' tumbled to his leetle racket, und are goin' ter arrest him in New York, so he vos awful anxious to see him und put him on his guard."
"Why don't he see him, then?"
"For a very goot reason; he ain't quite certain where to find him."
