The Secretaries of Mac Murdo

The men came in good time, as arranged. They were outwardly respectable citizens but a judge of faces would have read little hope for bertie edwards and those hard mouths and remorseless eyes. Not a man in the room whose hands had not been reddened a dozen times before. The two willoughbys were men of action, tall, lithe young lows with determined faces. While their companion, tiger cormac, was feared even by his own comrades for the ferocity of his disposition. These were the men who assembled that night under the roof of mac murdo for the killing of the pinkerton detective.
