As yet the inspector--no very gifted man at the most--was doubtful of the proper course to pursue.

And then overcome by grief and agitation, she covers her face with her hands, and bursts into tears.,“Fine work!” was Bob’s comment. “Gives us time to turn around.” Then he suddenly remembered that the Indian had started the talk by advising against bringing Mr. Taylor into the emergency. “But why not get Boss Taylor?”,“She’s been stolen, mother!
