But on the fifth day after his interview with Barlow things began to happen.

First of all, he noticed in a morning paper that Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt, members of his old outfit and suggested by Old Jimmie as participants in his proposed new enterprise, had just been arrested by Gavegan and Casey on the charge of alleged connection with the sale of fraudulent mining stock.
Second, on his return at the end of the afternoon, he saw standing before the house a taxicab with a trunk beside the chauffeur.

In the musty museum of a room behind the pawnshop he found Hunt and the Duchess and Old Jimmie and Barney; and also Maggie, coming down the stairway, hat and coat on and carrying a suitcase.

A sharp pain throbbed through him as he recognized the significance of Maggie's hat and coat and baggage.
"Maggie--you're going away ?" he exclaimed.
"Yes." She had paused at the foot of the stairway, and at sight of him had gone a little pale and wide-eyed.

But in an instant she had recovered her accustomed flair; there came a proud lift to her head, a flash of scorn into her dark eyes.
"At last I'm leaving this street for good," she said.
