I
ll
chance
that
,
said
he
.
First
of
all
,
I
want
you
gentlemen
to
understand
that
I
have
known
this
lady
since
she
was
a
child
.
There
were
seven
of
us
in
a
gang
in
Chicago
,
and
Elsie
s
father
was
the
boss
of
the
Joint
.
He
was
a
clever
man
,
was
old
Patrick
.
It
was
he
who
invented
that
writing
,
which
would
pass
as
a
child
s
scrawl
unless
you
just
happened
to
have
the
key
to
it
.
Well
,
Elsie
learned
some
of
our
ways
,
but
she
couldn
t
stand
the
business
,
and
she
had
a
bit
of
honest
money
of
her
own
,
so
she
gave
us
all
the
slip
and
got
away
to
London
.
She
had
been
engaged
to
me
,
and
she
would
have
married
me
,
I
believe
,
if
I
had
taken
over
another
profession
,
but
she
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
anything
on
the
cross
.
It
was
only
after
her
marriage
to
this
Englishman
that
I
was
able
to
find
out
where
she
was
.
I
wrote
to
her
,
but
got
no
answer
.
After
that
I
came
over
,
and
,
as
letters
were
no
use
,
I
put
my
messages
where
she
could
read
them
.
612
Well
,
I
have
been
here
a
month
now
.
I
lived
in
that
farm
,
where
I
had
a
room
down
below
,
and
could
get
in
and
out
every
night
,
and
no
one
the
wiser
.
I
tried
all
I
could
to
coax
Elsie
away
.
I
knew
that
she
read
the
messages
,
for
once
she
wrote
an
answer
under
one
of
them
.
Then
my
temper
got
the
better
of
me
,
and
I
began
to
threaten
her
.
She
sent
me
a
letter
then
,
imploring
me
to
go
away
,
and
saying
that
it
would
break
her
heart
if
any
scandal
should
come
upon
her
husband
.
She
said
that
she
would
come
down
when
her
husband
was
asleep
at
three
in
the
morning
,
and
speak
with
me
through
the
end
window
,
if
I
would
go
away
afterwards
and
leave
her
in
peace
.
She
came
down
and
brought
money
with
her
,
trying
to
bribe
me
to
go
.
This
made
me
mad
,
and
I
caught
her
arm
and
tried
to
pull
her
through
the
window
.
At
that
moment
in
rushed
the
husband
with
his
revolver
in
his
hand
.
Elsie
had
sunk
down
upon
the
floor
,
and
we
were
face
to
face
.
I
was
heeled
also
,
and
I
held
up
my
gun
to
scare
him
off
and
let
me
get
away
.
He
fired
and
missed
me
.
I
pulled
off
almost
at
the
same
instant
,
and
down
he
dropped
.
I
made
away
across
the
garden
,
and
as
I
went
I
heard
the
window
shut
behind
me
.
That
s
God
s
truth
,
gentlemen
,
every
word
of
it
,
and
I
heard
no
more
about
it
until
that
lad
came
riding
up
with
a
note
which
made
me
walk
in
here
,
like
a
jay
,
and
give
myself
into
your
hands
.
613
A
cab
had
driven
up
whilst
the
American
had
been
talking
.
Two
uniformed
policemen
sat
inside
.
Inspector
Martin
rose
and
touched
his
prisoner
on
the
shoulder
.

It
is
time
for
us
to
go
.
615
Can
I
see
her
first
?
616
No
,
she
is
not
conscious
.
Mr
617
Sherlock
Holmes
,
I
only
hope
that
if
ever
again
I
have
an
important
case
,
I
shall
have
the
good
fortune
to
have
you
by
my
side
.

We
stood
at
the
window
and
watched
the
cab
drive
away
.
As
I
turned
back
,
my
eye
caught
the
pellet
of
paper
which
the
prisoner
had
tossed
upon
the
table
.
It
was
the
note
with
which
Holmes
had
decoyed
him
.
619
See
if
you
can
read
it
,
Watson
,
said
he
,
with
a
smile
.
620
It
contained
no
word
,
but
this
little
line
of
dancing
men
:
