Chapter XXXVI
ONCE MORE ON THE TRACK When Gerald was turned out of the farm, it was too late to catch a train to New York. He slept in a roadside shed. Early next morning he was in the city, and he had made up his mind to go to police headquarters, and tell sufficient of his story to justify a stoppage of the notes. He passed a money changer's on the other side of the way, and looked at the shop. As he did so, he saw something which turned him rigid.
