"Don't go—not yet," cried the old man. "I don't understand. How did you know—who told you about the note?"
Jimmie Dale did not answer—he went on noiselessly down the stairs. His mask was off now, and his lips curved into a strange little smile.
"I wish I knew," said Jimmie Dale wistfully to himself.
