"
Mr.
Pinkerton
is
in
Chicago
at
present
,
"
replied
Mr.
Martinson
.
"
I
do
n't
expect
him
back
for
a
week
or
ten
days
.
You
can
talk
to
me
,
though
,
with
the
same
confidence
that
you
could
to
him
.
I
'm
the
responsible
head
here
.
However
,
you
're
the
best
judge
of
that
.
"
Butler
debated
with
himself
in
silence
for
a
few
moments
,
estimating
the
man
before
him
.
"
Are
you
a
family
man
yourself
?
"
he
asked
,
oddly
.
"
Yes
,
sir
,
I
'm
married
,
"
replied
Martinson
,
solemnly
.
"
I
have
a
wife
and
two
children
.
"
Martinson
,
from
long
experience
conceived
that
this
must
be
a
matter
of
family
misconduct
--
a
son
,
daughter
,
wife
.
Such
cases
were
not
infrequent
.
"
I
thought
I
would
like
to
talk
to
Mr.
Pinkerton
himself
,
but
if
you
're
the
responsible
head
--
"
Butler
paused
.
"
I
am
,
"
replied
Martinson
.
"
You
can
talk
to
me
with
the
same
freedom
that
you
could
to
Mr.
Pinkerton
.
Wo
n't
you
come
into
my
private
office
?
We
can
talk
more
at
ease
in
there
.
"
He
led
the
way
into
an
adjoining
room
which
had
two
windows
looking
down
into
Broadway
;
an
oblong
table
,
heavy
,
brown
,
smoothly
polished
;
four
leather-backed
chairs
;
and
some
pictures
of
the
Civil
War
battles
in
which
the
North
had
been
victorious
.
Butler
followed
doubtfully
.
He
hated
very
much
to
take
any
one
into
his
confidence
in
regard
to
Aileen
.
He
was
not
sure
that
he
would
,
even
now
.
He
wanted
to
"
look
these
fellys
over
,
"
as
he
said
in
his
mind
.
He
would
decide
then
what
he
wanted
to
do
.
He
went
to
one
of
the
windows
and
looked
down
into
the
street
,
where
there
was
a
perfect
swirl
of
omnibuses
and
vehicles
of
all
sorts
.
Mr.
Martinson
quietly
closed
the
door
.
"
Now
then
,
if
there
's
anything
I
can
do
for
you
,
"
Mr.
Martinson
paused
.
He
thought
by
this
little
trick
to
elicit
Buder
's
real
name
--
it
often
"
worked
"
--
but
in
this
instance
the
name
was
not
forthcoming
.
Butler
was
too
shrewd
.
"
I
'm
not
so
sure
that
I
want
to
go
into
this
,
"
said
the
old
man
solemnly
.
"
Certainly
not
if
there
's
any
risk
of
the
thing
not
being
handled
in
the
right
way
.
