CHAPTER I. THE GREEN TERROR
THE man who entered the bank was a timid, inoffensive-looking gentleman. He was tall and gaunt, with
graying hair and stooped shoulders. He was carrying a leather suitcase. He looked around uncertainly,
then spoke to a uniformed attendant.

"I've been sent here by one of the bank's depositors. Which is Mr. Gaylord? I was told to see him."

"Over there, mister. Second booth from the left."

John Gaylord was one of the bank's vice presidents. He had sandy hair, a blond mustache and a pleasant
smile. He glanced up at the man with the suitcase.

"Yes?"

"My name is Hilbert, sir. I'm a clerk in the office of Daniel French. Mr. French was too busy to come
over himself. He sent me."

"For what purpose?"

"He needs certain things from his safe-deposit box. I have an explanatory letter to you from Mr.
French."

He handed over the letter, and Gaylord read it. It was a brief typewritten note on French's letterhead,
explaining that he was too busy to call at the bank in person. The note identified Hilbert as a secretary in
French's employ. It requested that Hilbert be given access to French's safe-deposit vault to remove
certain documents.
