Lorelei did do it, and I don't intend to let you forget the fact. Now, about this Lynn woman you have been stung, Bob." "You think so? I wonder " "Don't be a fool!" "You think it is a frame-up?" "What else could it be? Think!" Bob exploded in desperation: "I can't think, with my wife in this condition. However, if you're right I'm going to see Max Melcher and tell him about Lorelei.
"You will excuse me for a moment," he said, and disappeared into the communications room. The moment he was gone from the room, Jack and Tiger were talking at once.

"This little feller I'm trainin' does he win?" Without an upward glance, Skinner inquired: "Did the man you trained for the Sheffield Handicap win?" "Never mind that. Does this frame-up go through?" It happened that Speed, drawn irresistibly, had come forward to hang upon every word, and now chose this moment to interrupt. "It's all right, Mr. Skinner " But Skinner leaped to his feet.
Tell them you're going to Ida Earle's and why tell them you're afraid it's a frame-up, and for them to keep your notes as evidence. And enclose the one from her."

"Culver, the Government agent and surveyor is a dark one," he mused aloud, half to himself. "If only Lawrence, his deputy, was in his shoes Your frame-up sounds pretty tight, Bostwick, but Culver may block us with his damnable squareness." "Every man has his price," said Bostwick, " big and little. Culver, you say, represents the Government? Where is he now?"

I run into a man named Al Sharp, who'd been knifed by the Toltec. Him an' the Toltec had been detailed by Taggart to get the diagram. Sharp said Taggart knowed my dad had drawed one. Telza got it last night while you was talkin' to Taggart. Frame-up. Sharp tried to take it away from Telza, an' Telza knifed him. Sharp's dead. I buried him last night. Telza dropped the diagram. I got it.
But we've got to get rid of Ted Crothers somehow. He watches me all the time, and I have no end of trouble making excuses and getting away." "How're you're going to get rid of him?" asked Peter, hungrily. "We'll have to skip," she answered; "just as soon as we have pulled off our new frame-up " "Another one?" gasped Peter, in dismay.
