The
main
street
ran
along
the
beach
,
and
I
walked
down
it
,
and
then
turned
up
a
kind
of
lane
where
the
houses
were
made
of
poles
and
straw
.
I
wanted
to
see
what
the
monkeys
did
when
they
were
n't
climbing
cocoanut
trees
.
The
very
first
shack
I
looked
in
I
saw
my
people
.
They
must
have
come
ashore
while
I
was
promenading
.
A
man
about
fifty
,
smooth
face
,
heavy
eyebrows
,
dressed
in
black
broadcloth
,
looking
like
he
was
just
about
to
say
,
'
Can
any
little
boy
in
the
Sunday
school
answer
that
?
'
He
was
freezing
on
to
a
grip
that
weighed
like
a
dozen
gold
bricks
,
and
a
swell
girl
--
a
regular
peach
,
with
a
Fifth
Avenue
cut
--
was
sitting
on
a
wooden
chair
.
An
old
black
woman
was
fixing
some
coffee
and
beans
on
a
table
.
The
light
they
had
come
from
a
lantern
hung
on
a
nail
.
I
went
and
stood
in
the
door
,
and
they
looked
at
me
,
and
I
said
:
"
'
Mr.
Wahrfield
,
you
are
my
prisoner
.
I
hope
,
for
the
lady
's
sake
,
you
will
take
the
matter
sensibly
.
You
know
why
I
want
you
.
'
"
'
Who
are
you
?
'
says
the
old
gent
.
"
'
O'Day
,
'
says
I
,
'
of
the
Columbia
Detective
Agency
.
And
now
,
sir
,
let
me
give
you
a
piece
of
good
advice
.
You
go
back
and
take
your
medicine
like
a
man
.
Hand
'em
back
the
boodle
;
and
maybe
they
'll
let
you
off
light
.
Go
back
easy
,
and
I
'll
put
in
a
word
for
you
.
I
'll
give
you
five
minutes
to
decide
.
'
I
pulled
out
my
watch
and
waited
.
"
Then
the
young
lady
chipped
in
.
She
was
one
of
the
genuine
high-steppers
.
You
could
tell
by
the
way
her
clothes
fit
and
the
style
she
had
that
Fifth
Avenue
was
made
for
her
.
"
'
Come
inside
,
'
she
says
.
'
Do
n't
stand
in
the
door
and
disturb
the
whole
street
with
that
suit
of
clothes
.
Now
,
what
is
it
you
want
?
'
"
'
Three
minutes
gone
,
'
I
said
.
'
I
'll
tell
you
again
while
the
other
two
tick
off
.
"
'
You
'll
admit
being
the
president
of
the
Republic
,
wo
n't
you
?
'
"
'
I
am
,
'
says
he
.
