"Where will the men meet you?"
"At Inwood immediately after dark, day after to-morrow," she answered firmly.
"It's too early. Nine o'clock is better. The men will have time for careful preparation."
"I'll be with him in the basement. He will be in the Klan costume; I wish him arrested and tried in that."
"It shall be exactly as you wish," said Steve, his eyes sparkling with triumph. "And your signal to the men?"
"Will be a light in the window of the basement."
"I understand—Inwood—nine o'clock at night, day after to-morrow."
Stella's answer was scarcely a whisper:
"Yes."
