The two then walked up Third Avenue rather leisurely, followed by Patsy, until Forty-second Street was reached. Here again Bally Morris went into the liquor saloons on the corner and came back to report to Spike standing on the upper corner. The place was not an easy one for Patsy to keep the two in sight. For a time the two manifested no disposition to leave that corner and, while Patsy was wondering what their purpose was, he caught sight of Chick coming down Forty-second Street rather stealthily. Patsy looked around to see whom he was following, and finally hit upon a low-sized, broad-shouldered man, dressed in the extreme of fashion, who was walking down the street in a vigorous and self-satisfied way. Patsy at once put himself in a position where he could signal Chick that he was nearby. Chick caught the signal and immediately returned one which meant that Patsy should come to him if he could. As the man Chick was following reached the corner of Forty-second Street and Third Avenue--that is to say, the northeast corner--he stopped and looked about in every direction. Apparently he did not see the person he was looking for, because he settled himself for a wait. This gave Chick an opportunity to cross the street to where Patsy stood. As he came up he asked: “Shadowing?” “Yes,” replied Patsy. “Who?” Patsy grinned and replied: “My two assistants.” “What are they doing?” “I don’t know, but they are up to some game that I can’t see through. Who is your man?” “Seaman.” “The deuce!” replied Patsy. “What is he here for?” “I don’t know,” replied Chick, “but I followed him here from Broad Street.” “He is waiting for somebody?” asked Patsy. “It looks that way,” said Chick, “and I think it’s Lannigan.” At this moment Patsy caught the arm of Chick, and giving it a hard grip, nodded his head up the street. Chick turned to see Nick Carter coming down on the same side of the street on which he had followed Seaman. “He’s on the shadow,” said Patsy. “Yes; but who?” “I ain’t sure,” said Patsy, “but I’ll bet that it’s that man with the black frock coat, black hat and full beard.” Chick and Patsy both separated in order that they might give the signal to Nick that they were in the neighborhood. But each kept their eyes upon those they were following. Spike Thomas and Bally Morris were still standing on the corner they had selected, and Seaman was on the corner opposite them. As Nick neared the corner he made a rapid signal which showed that he had received theirs, but made no effort to join them. In the meantime the man Chick and Patsy had selected as the one followed by Nick went on to the corner, where he went to Seaman, touching him on the shoulder and shaking hands with him. “I’ll bet,” said Chick, “that the man is the lawyer, Elwell.” “How do you know?” asked Patsy. “I don’t know,” said Chick, “I am only guessing.”
