Reeve, Arthur B. (Arthur Benjamin), 1880-1936

"The Dream Doctor"

It is my invariable rule to get the man highest up.
This fellow is only one tool. Arrest him, and as likely as not we
should allow the big criminal to escape."
"Hello, Kronski!" came over the detectaphone. "This is Janeff. How
are things going?"
Wachtmann's chauffeur must have answered that everything was all
right.
"You knew that they had discovered the poisoned wall-paper?" asked
Janeff.
A long parley followed. Finally, Janeff repeated what apparently
had been his instructions. "Now, let me see," he said. "You want
me to stay here until the last minute so that I can overhear
whether any alarm is given for her? All right. You're sure it is
the nine-o'clock train she is due on? Very well. I shall meet you
at the ferry across the Hudson. I'll start from here as soon as I
hear the train come in. We'll get the girl this time. That will
bring Brixton to terms sure. You're right. Even if we fail this
time, we'll succeed later. Don't fail me. I'll be at the ferry as
soon as I can get past the guards and join you.
