"
"Bah! I've heard all about it. You gentlemen are too easily frightened.
There is nothing to fear."
"That man is now known as Redalli, eh?" muttered Oscar, and there came a
gleam in his eyes which few could read.
"We do not scare, as easily as you think, Redalli. I tell you there is a
man on our track who is quietly running us down, and if we do not
dispose of him he will spoil all our work of years."
"We will dispose of him; but what have you gentlemen been doing? Why did
you not dispose of him?"
"We have completed our plans."
Girard proceeded and related all the arrangements for disposing of Oscar
and all the other men who might be working with him. Redalli listened
attentively and finally said:
"That is all right; but, gentlemen, we will make a fortune anyhow. We
can move on while these men are locating us. We are all ready to shoot
forth one of the greatest floods ever sent driving over this or any
other land; in fact we will sweep over Canada and Mexico. I have managed
our affair, I believe, in a satisfactory manner. One day this week all
the agents will be in New York. We will distribute the stuff and send
them abroad. The sweep will commence in three days. Under our present
arrangements we will have gathered in several millions of dollars.
