I'm not going to tell you all that happened to me, but I was clean down to the bottom when Frank Merriwell found me." Cavendale started. "Seems to me I've heard of Merriwell," he muttered. "I'm sure I have. So you're pretty chummy with him now?" "You might call it so." "Know all about his plans, I suppose? Sort of a bosom comrade, eh?"
If you're taken in, you'll do as well." "That sounds too good to be true," said Dade, with an incredulous smile. "You wait," nodded Cavendale. "I want to step to the telephone. Be back in a minute. Don't stir. I'll have Mr. Hagan er Mr. Harrigan right down." Cavendale hurried from the barroom.
The house seemed dark and deserted. Morgan began to wonder if he had been wise in accompanying the men, but he quickly decided that there could be little or no reason for doing personal injury to him, and so he unhesitatingly followed Cavendale up the steps, while Harrigan came behind. The cab rumbled away. Cavendale pressed the push-button of the electric doorbell in a peculiar manner.
Then came another man rushing into the room, shaking with excitement, who announced that there were many men at the door and others all round the house. Apparently they were officers. "Frank has turned the trick!" exultingly thought Morgan. "He has the wretch trapped!" But he remained motionless. Hagan and Cavendale were greatly excited. They hurried from the room, followed by "the chief."
After a time there sounded from the inner side of the door an odd knocking. Cavendale answered in a similar manner. There was a sound of shooting bolts, but the rattle of a chain followed, and the door was opened only a short distance. Plainly the chain was still on. Cavendale whispered to some one within.
Take a lemonade, a ginger ale, anything to be sociable. I want you to tell me about yourself." Dade took a lemonade. Although Cavendale had stated that he wished Dade to tell about himself, he rattled off a rambling statement of his own affairs, claiming that he was "in on a big deal" that meant thousands to him. "It's a snap," he asserted. "It's the greatest thing I ever struck.
