"Oh, that's all right," smiled Heinrich. "I had to get suspected with the
job I had. That was part of the game."
At that moment the door bell rang and Dr. Clarke was ushered in. "I
thought you might be interested in the hospital patients," he said. "Mr.
Wernberg will recover all right, and Lena is not badly hurt. She keeps
calling all the time for somebody named Heinrich. Do you know him?"
"Will you excuse me, Mr. Cook?" exclaimed Heinrich, and, without waiting
for a reply, he dashed out of the room, nearly falling over two chairs in
his haste to get away to the hospital.
"He seems to be in a hurry, doesn't he?" laughed the doctor.
"I must be going, too," said Sergeant Riley. "I have some boarders down
at my hotel who may need attention."
"Well, good-night, Sergeant," exclaimed Mr. Cook, shaking hands with the
doughty officer. "I'm sorry Hoffmann was mixed up in this business, but
I'm glad it's all cleared up. I hope we'll have no more trouble."
"Ye won't, as long as yez have two young fellers like Bob and Hugh
working for yez," exclaimed Riley.
