Broderick stared in surprise.
"No; but haven't you?"
Thorne shook his head.
"You forget that I waited here for you. Now that you're here, my idea is to see Pemmican and get the facts."
"The captain of the —— Precinct will be there," explained Broderick. "He understands that you're counsel for Cradlebaugh's—see?"
"Come on," repeated Thorne; "we'll go and see Pemmican."
Broderick remained seated. Presently he said hesitatingly:—
"Just a second, counsellor—I wish you'd draw a cheque for five for me."
"Dollars?"
"No."
