No, no, they will get no hint from me. I am not in with
that gang. I am in with you, and you've got 'em, and I am glad. They
have not used me right anyhow."
"Then you fully understand?"
"I do."
"All right."
Oscar stole forth and Cad Metti joined him.
"What have you made out, Oscar?"
"Cad, we've worked up the job of our lives. We've got the whole
business. Now then, you lay to my trail, for I must shadow Redalli."
"You've got him?"
"Yes."
"And the woman?"
"You were right. She is a siren indeed, but I will amuse her. Good-night
for the present. Go, for here comes our game."
CHAPTER X.
OSCAR MAKES GOOD HIS PROMISE AND AIDED BY CAD METTI, THE
WONDERFUL FEMALE DETECTIVE, PERFORMS ONE OF THE GREATEST FEATS
IN ALL DETECTIVE RECORDS.
Like a night sprite Cad glided away and Oscar fell to the shadow of the
man Redalli. He followed him to the Hoboken ferry, crossed on the same
boat with him, and saw him enter a house situated in the midst of a
large plot of ground covered by lines of trees.
The detective was satisfied. He had the meeting-house, as he called it,
located. He had Redalli located, and he started back toward the ferry
and had gone but a few squares when he was joined by Cad and another
detective. Cad was in her ordinary garb as a well-dressed young miss,
only that she wore a veil drawn down over her face.
