The story was not half told when Fogerty said: "Tell your man to drive to the police station." On the way Arthur resumed his rapid recital and strove to post the young detective as well as he was able.

Fogerty made no remarks, nor did he ask a single question until Weldon had told him everything he could think of.

Then he made a few pointed enquiries and presently they had arrived at the station.
The desk sergeant bowed with great respect to the youthful detective.

By the dim light Arthur was now able to examine Fogerty for the first time.
He was small, slim and lean.

His face attested to but eighteen or nineteen years, in spite of its deep lines and serious expression.
Although his hair was tangled and unkempt Fogerty's clothing and linen were neat and of good quality.
