He
must have been in. that first cab, all right."
As I left Dillon's office, I ran into Herman in the hall, coming
in. I bowed to him and he nodded surlily. Evidently, I thought, he
had heard of the result of our activities. I did not ask him what
progress he had made in the case, for I had had experience with
professional jealousy before, and thought that the less said on
the subject the better.
Recalling what Garrick had said, I curbed my impatience as best I
could, in order to give him ample time to complete the work that
he had to do. It was not until the middle of the afternoon that I
rejoined him in his office.
I found him at work at a table, still, with a microscope and an
arrangement which I recognised as the apparatus for making
microphotographs. Several cartridges, carefully labelled, were
lying before him, as well as the peculiar pistol we had found when
we had captured Forbes in the little room. There were also the
guns we had captured in the garage and one found in the cab which
we had chased and wrecked.
