But I tell you in return, I shall take no pains to hide myself.

If you want me, you know where to find me." "An hour," said Jonathan, looking at his watch,--"remember!" "If you send for me to the Cross Shovels in the Mint, where I'm going with Blueskin, I will surrender myself without resistance," returned Jack.
"You will spare the officers a labour then," rejoined Jonathan.
"Can't I settle this business, Captain," muttered Blueskin, drawing a pistol.
"Don't harm him," said Jack, carelessly: "he dares not do it." So saying, he left the room.
"Blueskin," said Jonathan, as that worthy was about to follow, "I advise you to remain with me." "No," answered the ruffian, moodily.

"If you arrest him, you must arrest me also." "As you will," said Jonathan, seating himself.
Jack and his comrade went to the Mint, where he was joined by Edgeworth Bess, with whom he sat down most unconcernedly to supper.

His revelry, however, was put an end at the expiration of the time mentioned by Jonathan, by the entrance of a posse of constables with Quilt Arnold and Abraham Mendez at their head.

Jack, to the surprise of all his companions, at once surrendered himself: but Blueskin would have made a fierce resistance, and attempted a rescue if he had not been ordered by his leader to desist.
