"Where are you going to take me to?"
"The central office."
"What for?"
"Mr. Byrnes is anxious to have a good look at you."
"He won't get much out of me."
"That's all right. Every man has a right to keep his mouth shut and his tongue still if he can."
"Well, I can."
"It's nice to have a good opinion of one's self, Jimmie. And now step off a little faster, if you please."
Taylor apparently had given up all thoughts of resisting, and walked on by the detective's side without another word.
On arriving at the central office he was locked up, and a letter purporting to be signed by him, was sent to his saloon, informing Jerry that he had suddenly been called out of town on business and would not be back that night.
