business clear of this wonderful show place near
Miami?" asked Perk, apparently still groping as

"Just wants to be living his double life," explained
Jack, "with one line never crossing the
other--you might call it a Jekyll and Hyde sort
of an existence. But the truth will come out in
broad daylight if ever we _do_ round him up and
catch him with the goods."

"Er--'bout how long will we be in makin'
some sort o' start, boss?" asked Perk anxiously.

"We may have to stick around here for some
days while we do a little spy work and lay our
net," Jack told him. "A great deal depends on,
how the land lies and what success we strike in
making our approach--you know how it is with
all golfers--approach means a whole lot to them.
But if we have the good fortune to nab our man
after making certain we have plenty of convincing
evidence to be used against him, why there's
our boat ready to spirit him away before his gang
can forcibly take him off our hands."
