So they did, Dick telephoning his parents at the store to explain that he was at the express office helping Dave. Midnight came and went. A few minutes after the new day had begun Hemingway came out of the cupboard. "You may as well close up, Drowan," the plain clothes man decided. "The fellow who calls himself Tripps isn't going to show up.
If the former was too furious, this was too sheepish, for his Part; insomuch that after a short modest Walk upon the Stage, he would fall at the first Touch of 'Hydaspes', without grappling with him, and giving him an Opportunity of showing his Variety of 'Italian' Tripps: It is said, indeed, that he once gave him a Ripp in his flesh-colour Doublet, but this was only to make work for himself, in his private Character of a Taylor.
So this fellow who calls himself Tripps is a crook. We haven't caught him, but we've stopped him from using his 'soup' the way he had intended to use it." "Wonder what he did want to do with it?" mused Dick Prescott. "There are any one of twenty ways in which the fellow might have used the stuff criminally," replied the plain clothes man.
As soon as we get this stuff to the station house I'll hustle back and hide against the coming of Mr. Tripps. If he comes before I get back, jump on the fellow and hold him for me, no matter what kind of a fight he puts up." Dave gazed after the retreating figures of the policemen. "Bright man, that Hemingway," he remarked.
These two will guide me on the rope. Cou. You meane to dance, then? De. Yes, the Canaries, but with quicker tyme Then you, I hope, can follow: thus I begin. Cou. What a heathen Coward's this? how the rogue tripps like a fairie to the towne with 'em! He has been a footman, sure; I have not aire enough to overtake him, and twill be darke presently.
As soon as we hear the name, Tom and I can jump on him from behind, and you can sail in in front. Eh, Reade?" "It sounds good," nodded Tom. "I'll take a chance on it, Dick, with you to engineer the job." In ten minutes Officer Hemingway was back. He stepped into a cupboard close to the counter, prepared for the coming of Tripps.
His shallup being well provided & furnish'd with all things, hee was ready to saile; but having made some tripps from one river unto the other, the sight of such vast quantitys of Ice as was in those seas made him afraide to venture himselfe in so small a vessell to saile unto the Bay. So that wee fitting things to bee gon the 20 July, having sent for Mr.
If he had been going to claim his box he'd have been here before this." "You think he got scared away?" asked the night manager. "The fellow was probably keeping watch on this office. He saw what happened, and decided not to run his neck into a noose. You'll never have any word from Tripps."
"It's addressed to Simon Tripps, to be called for. Identification by letter herewith," read Dick Prescott, from the label. "Yes; I have the letter," nodded Mr. Drowan. "It contains the signature of the party who's to call for the box. That's all the identification that's asked." At this moment Officer Hemingway, in plain clothes, came in, followed by a policeman in uniform.
"If Tripps shows up, we are to jump on him and nail him -no matter if he hauls out two six-shooter and turns 'em on us" "We can grab any one man, and hold him," returned Dick, confidently. "All we've got to do is to get at him from all sides. See here, Dave, if a fellow comes in and tells you he's Tripps, you repeat the name as though you weren't sure.
