He had to carry a small consignment of peculiarly valuable diamonds to a distant city. Narkom disguised Scarlett in a great beard and green goggles and arranged that he should meet two detectives and travel with them on the train that afternoon. Then Scarlett, still very nervous, went to call on his fiancée. When the train left that afternoon the diamonds were carefully hidden in the sole of the disguised man's boot. Narkom and the manager came down to see them off. At just this time, Cleek, the great private detective, strolling through the park with his assistant Dollops, came upon the unconscious body of a man. While his companion was sending for an ambulance, Cleek closely examined a little piece of false beard which was sticking to the man's face. At the superintendent's office Narkom informed Cleek of the steps which had been taken to insure the safety of the diamond merchant. Despite all the precautions, they had been outwitted. Shortly after leaving a station, one of the detectives had looked up from the card game he had been playing and had discovered that the man in disguise had been stabbed to the heart, and that the door of the compartment was unlocked. Cleek immediately rushed down to the scene, and, remembering his experience of the morning, soon succeeded in solving the mystery and arresting the guilty party. It is enough of a suggestion of the interesting features of this story to say that Scarlett was not stabbed at all, and that the man who stabbed the disguised man in the train was apparently the guard on the train. We leave it to Cleek's clever head to show you to what result the connection between these things led. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
