Suddenly the panes of the red window tinkled and crashed to the ground, and at other windows there suddenly reared other flames, like bloody spectres at the apertures of a haunted house. This outbreak had been well planned, as if by professional revolutionists. A man's voice suddenly shouted: "Fire! Fire! Fire!" Hannigan had flung his pipe frenziedly from him because his lungs demanded room.
What do you think of it?" "I think it puts Hannigan in a very awkward position." "I agree with you. Suppose you seek to show that to the city in half a column." Queed bowed. "I may, perhaps, remind you, Colonel, of the meeting in New York to-morrow to prepare for the celebration of the Darwin centennial.
As they swung out into the open air a man ran across the lawn, and seizing a shutter, pulled it from its hinges and flung it far out upon the grass. Then he frantically attacked the other shutters one by one. It was a kind of temporary insanity. "Here, you," howled Hannigan, "hold Mrs. Trescott And stop "
I don't blame you for being sore at me, Red only you've got me all wrong. But you and I are evidently here for the same purpose: to get next to something that's going to happen out in the room. What do you say, Red? let's suspend hostilities for the present. You've got me where you can follow me, and you can get me any time." "You bet I'll get you!" declared Hannigan.
Barney fairly hurled at Larry these two most despised epithets of his world. "You've done your job swell as a stool, and squealed on Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt and turned them up for the police!" "You believe I had anything to do with their arrest?" exclaimed Larry. Barney laughed in his derision. "Of course we believe it," put in Old Jimmie, his seamed, cunning face now ruthlessly hard.
"It certainly was clever!" admired Maggie. "Wait! That's only half. To finish Larry off so that he wouldn't have a chance I had to finish him off not only with the cops, but also with his pals. So I tipped off Barlow to the game Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt were pulling and " "Then Larry Brainard really didn't do that?" "No; I did it! Listen there's some more to it.
Then, in a lighter tone, "Didn't I see you at the game a week ago Saturday?" "You did, you did, sir, I sat right behind you, and and " "Go on." "I guess I slapped your back when you got kinder excited in the " "Seventh innings, with the score three to nothing for Montreal, Torontos with two men on bases and nobody out" the judge was talking rapidly now "big Bill Hannigan at the bat, and "
I've been telling her how you framed me, and were able to frame me because you are Chief Barlow's stool." Barney went as near white as it was possible for him to become, and his mouth sagged. "What what " he stammered. "I've been telling her that you are the one who really squealed on Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt." "You're a damned liar!"
But on the fifth day after his interview with Barlow things began to happen. First of all, he noticed in a morning paper that Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt, members of his old outfit and suggested by Old Jimmie as participants in his proposed new enterprise, had just been arrested by Gavegan and Casey on the charge of alleged connection with the sale of fraudulent mining stock.
Tell Kitty Hannigan I hope she's well; she was a disarving young in her situation in life. Shusey Dogherty, at the cross road I don't forget the name was a good-looking slip too; give her my affectionate salutations, as we say in the Portuguese.
