I
would be a handsome, yes, a splendid woman if I only had money. This is
the best chance we ever had in our lives."
"Yes, Sarah, and I will be proud to see you dressed like a queen."
"Give me the money and I will dress like a queen; I know how to dress.
But who is with you in securing this great chance?"
"I will tell you all about it later on, Sarah. You can be hopeful, and
now I will go to meet one or two of the boys. I will not be home again
until early in the morning. We have a little job on hand. It may yield a
few, bits for us; I can't tell."
"Tom, with the great chance we have, be careful. Do not get nipped just
as our fortune is made."
CHAPTER IV.
OSCAR ENCOUNTERS A SERIES OF ADVENTURES IN FOLLOWING A PROMISING
TRAIL AND MEETS WITH A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Oscar slid down the stairs. His trick had been too good a one for him to
take any chances. He did not wish to scare his bird off ere he had him
bagged. He walked away and waited for Tom to appear. The man, however,
for some reason or other remained in his rooms, and our hero at length
muttered:
"All right, I have him treed. I can put my hand on him any time."
Oscar walked away and proceeded to Broadway, and having another matter
on hand which he was quietly shadowing he went to a noted private
clubhouse.
