"You're right. And so far as I can see, there's no reason why Taylor shouldn't be arrested at once."
"It must be managed quietly, then," suggested Old Spicer. "It mustn't be known that he's taken."
"Correct, old friend, I see the point. Is he still in the saloon, Silas?"
"Yes, sir; but getting ready to leave."
"Well, send a policeman in uniform in there, and have him tell Taylor that he is wanted at the excise commissioners' office."
"All right sir; and what then?"
"Why, follow and arrest him; say somewhere in the vicinity of Bond Street and Broadway."
"Very good, sir."
"Who's looking after the other scoundrels?"
"Quackenbush and Crowley."
