Having arrived at this conclusion, he quickened his pace, his
expression became more cheerful, and he turned his steps toward
Wall Street.
"What did the old fellow see in the paper?" thought Tony.
Denton, who, still undiscovered, followed Mr. Duncan closely.
"It is something that pleased him, evidently."
He beckoned the same newsboy, bought a _Herald_ also, and
turning to that part of the paper on which the banker's eyes
had been resting, discovered Sharp & Ketchum's advertisement.
"That's it, I'll bet a hat," he decided. "He is going to raise
money on the bonds. I'll follow him."
When Duncan turned into Wall Street, Tony Denton felt that
he had guessed correctly. He was convinced when the bank
president paused before the number indicated in the advertisement.
"It won't do for me to follow him in," he said to himself,
"nor will it be necessary--I can remember the place and turn
it to my own account by and by."
Prince Duncan went up-stairs, and paused before a door on
which was inscribed:
SHARP & KETCHUM
BANKERS
LOANS NEGOTIATED
He opened the door, and found the room furnished in the style
of a private banking-office.
