Fourth, do not come here again unless I send for you. And,
finally, rest assured that I will do all in my power to have young
Boyden at liberty as soon as possible. To remain in custody a short
time, however, will not seriously harm him, and in a way it may do me
some service. Can you remember all that?"
"Indeed I can, sir; and I will obey you in all!" cried Violet, with much
feeling.
"That's right," smiled Nick, as he escorted her to the door. "You shall
not lose anything by so doing."
"Ah, I am sure of that, sir. You are so very kind, and I am so glad that
I came to you."
"Well, well, we shall see," laughed Nick, with a paternal caress of her
shapely white hand. "By the way, Miss Page, since I now happen to think
of it," the crafty detective indifferently added, "wasn't there a Hindoo
juggler, or snake charmer, or something of that sort, connected with
your late vaudeville company?"
"Oh, yes, sir! Pandu Singe."
"Ah, that is his name, is it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Is he still in the city?"
"I am not sure, Mr. Carter; but I think that he may be, for he is signed
with the company for next season."
"Do you know where he has been living?"
"Yes, sir. I have seen his house address on letters forwarded to the
theater.
