The scout’s interest was quickened when Dane turned to the Casino, as the little local theatre was called, and went in by the entrance marked “Private.”

Reaching that door, the scout stood listening; then went in, also; but quietly.

In a room above, as he stood on the stairs, he distinctly heard Jackson Dane talking with the blonde beauty whose name had been given as Vera Bright.

“Well, that’s singular!” was his thought. “He is talking with the same girl that Mrs. Juniper Joe had a confab with! I wonder if there is a connection here?”

But he could not understand what Dane and the girl were saying.

He did not want to be seen spying on the stairs of the Casino, and when it seemed he could not get nearer that room without discovery, as people were passing through the upper halls, he retreated to the street.

But he did not at once go away.

Taking a position on the opposite side of the street, where he fancied he could not be seen, he watched the door marked “Private.”

But though he tarried there two hours, Jackson Dane did not reappear.
