Did
any
one
drive
Sissy
this
mornin
'
?
"
asked
Butler
of
Aileen
,
inquiring
after
a
favorite
family
horse
.
Butler
's
plan
,
in
case
the
detective
was
seen
,
was
to
give
the
impression
that
he
was
a
horseman
who
had
come
either
to
buy
or
to
sell
.
His
name
was
Jonas
Alderson
,
and
be
looked
sufficiently
like
a
horsetrader
to
be
one
.
"
I
do
n't
think
so
,
father
,
"
replied
Aileen
.
"
I
did
n't
.
I
'll
find
out
.
"
"
Never
mind
.
What
I
want
to
know
is
did
you
intend
using
her
to-morrow
?
"
"
No
,
not
if
you
want
her
.
Jerry
suits
me
just
as
well
.
"
"
Very
well
,
then
.
Leave
her
in
the
stable
.
"
Butler
quietly
closed
the
door
.
Aileen
concluded
at
once
that
it
was
a
horse
conference
.
She
knew
he
would
not
dispose
of
any
horse
in
which
she
was
interested
without
first
consulting
her
,
and
so
she
thought
no
more
about
it
.
After
she
was
gone
Alderson
stepped
out
and
declared
that
he
was
satisfied
.
"
That
's
all
I
need
to
know
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
'll
let
you
know
in
a
few
days
if
I
find
out
anything
.
"
He
departed
,
and
within
thirty-six
hours
the
house
and
office
of
Cowperwood
,
the
house
of
Butler
,
the
office
of
Harper
Steger
,
Cowperwood
's
lawyer
,
and
Cowperwood
and
Aileen
separately
and
personally
were
under
complete
surveillance
.
It
took
six
men
to
do
it
at
first
,
and
eventually
a
seventh
,
when
the
second
meeting-place
,
which
was
located
in
South
Sixth
Street
,
was
discovered
.
All
the
detectives
were
from
New
York
.
In
a
week
all
was
known
to
Alderson
.
It
bad
been
agreed
between
him
and
Butler
that
if
Aileen
and
Cowperwood
were
discovered
to
have
any
particular
rendezvous
Butler
was
to
be
notified
some
time
when
she
was
there
,
so
that
he
might
go
immediately
and
confront
her
in
person
,
if
he
wished
.
He
did
not
intend
to
kill
Cowperwood
--
and
Alderson
would
have
seen
to
it
that
he
did
not
in
his
presence
at
least
,
but
he
would
give
him
a
good
tongue-lashing
,
fell
him
to
the
floor
,
in
all
likelihood
,
and
march
Aileen
away
.
There
would
be
no
more
lying
on
her
part
as
to
whether
she
was
or
was
not
going
with
Cowperwood
.
She
would
not
be
able
to
say
after
that
what
she
would
or
would
not
do
.
Butler
would
lay
down
the
law
to
her
.
She
would
reform
,
or
he
would
send
her
to
a
reformatory
.
Think
of
her
influence
on
her
sister
,
or
on
any
good
girl
--
knowing
what
she
knew
,
or
doing
what
she
was
doing
!
She
would
go
to
Europe
after
this
,
or
any
place
he
chose
to
send
her
.
In
working
out
his
plan
of
action
it
was
necessary
for
Butler
to
take
Alderson
into
his
confidence
and
the
detective
made
plain
his
determination
to
safeguard
Cowperwood
's
person
.
"
We
could
n't
allow
you
to
strike
any
blows
or
do
any
violence
,
"
Alderson
told
Butler
,
when
they
first
talked
about
it
.
"
It
's
against
the
rules
.
You
can
go
in
there
on
a
search-warrant
,
if
we
have
to
have
one
.
I
can
get
that
for
you
without
anybody
's
knowing
anything
about
your
connection
with
the
case
.
We
can
say
it
's
for
a
girl
from
New
York
.
But
you
'll
have
to
go
in
in
the
presence
of
my
men
.
They
wo
n't
permit
any
trouble
.
You
can
get
your
daughter
all
right
--
we
'll
bring
her
away
,
and
him
,
too
,
if
you
say
so
;
but
you
'll
have
to
make
some
charge
against
him
,
if
we
do
.
Then
there
's
the
danger
of
the
neighbors
seeing
.
You
ca
n't
always
guarantee
you
wo
n't
collect
a
crowd
that
way
.
"
Butler
had
many
misgivings
about
the
matter
.
It
was
fraught
with
great
danger
of
publicity
.
Still
he
wanted
to
know
.
He
wanted
to
terrify
Aileen
if
he
could
--
to
reform
her
drastically
.
