But wait--we must have witnesses." Simms, the butler, and the doorman were called in and wrote their names to the document and then withdrew, after which Enright began folding it carefully.
"I presume you leave this in my care ?" he asked shortly.
Cavendish shook his head: "I think not.

I prefer holding it myself in case it is needed suddenly.

I shall keep my rooms, and my man Valois will remain there indefinitely.

Now as to your charges." A nominal sum was named and paid, after which Cavendish rose, picked up his hat and stick and turned to Enright.
"You have obliged me greatly," he smiled, "and, of course, the transaction will be considered as strictly confidential." And then seeing Enright's nod bade him a courteous "Good night." The attorney watched him disappear.

Suddenly he struck the table with one hand.
"By God!" he muttered, "I'll have to see this thing a little further." Wheeling suddenly, he walked to a telephone booth, called a number and waited impatiently several moments before he said in intense subdued tones: "Is this Carlton's Cafe?
Give me Jackson, the head-waiter.
Jackson, is Mr.Cavendish--John Cavendish--there?
Good! Call him to the phone will you, Jackson?
It's important.".
