The head detective, for all his anger, was a practical man; he could not have managed the very important and confidential work of the Traction Trust if he had not been. So now he proceeded to get down to business. Peter would please tell him everything about that dynamite frame-up; just how they had managed it and just who knew about it.
And Dennison, of course, being on the inside, knows he is really nothing but a dub knows it is simply a plain open and shut proposition. That is to say he thinks he knows!" Jesse Hogarty paused and the corners of his lips twitched back to show his teeth, but not in laughter. "It's the same little frame-up that he sent against Boots and me," he finished. "He ought to be satisfied, hadn't he?
"Is that a mere frame-up, Philippi?" he demanded, walking significantly toward the vender's authority. "Nothing in the house to-night." "Then," announced Lefever calmly, "I arrest you." Philippi started. "Arrest me?" "For obtaining a thirst under false pretenses. Come, now, before we slip the irons on, get us something to eat. I'll go up-stairs and pick out a room to sleep in."
It ain't right." I bethought me now of the conversation I had unwillingly overheard and my heart was grateful to these my friends but the next instant I remembered the note to Cal Davidson. "I thank you, Jimmy, my friend," said I, "and I believe I know what you mean, but it can't be done." "What can't, an' why can't it?" "Why, the the frame-up that you have just mentioned.
"You've been square with me, Buck. I want to be square with you.... There's a frame-up to get you. Now don't stop me an' I'll talk as fast as I can. It hurts me to talk much." He pressed a thin hand upon his side, paused a moment, and then went on. "I think Broderick's the man as has been putting over most of the stick-ups around here for quite some time. Him and Pollard in together.
"I wonder whether that was a frame-up!" he exclaimed, pulling a little cylinder off the instrument into which he had inserted the telephone receiver. "I thought it might be and I have preserved the voice. This is what is known as the telescribe a recent invention of Edison which records on a specially prepared phonograph cylinder all that is said both ways over a telephone wire."
He shook his head, smiling. "What a young savage you are, Jack!" says he. "An eye for an eye, eh? But you guess wrongly, lad. That treachery you heard Beasley explain was but the beginning. I was sent to prison for a murder, the brutal and cowardly murder of a helpless old man." "I know it was a frame-up," I cried. "And, anyway, I don't care.
"This may be a frame-up," Ned observed, "but it is up to us to see it through. The boy who has just been brought in may be the prince, or he may be the grandson, and we are here to get the answer." "Or there may be no boy at the cabin at all!" Frank suggested. "The conspirators know that we are in the mountains for the purpose of looking up the prince.
"He is part of my frame-up," Maggie explained at large. "I wanted both the police and Larry's old friends to know the truth at first hand and clear him before I went away." "Wasn't that Red Hannigan who just spoke?" were Barlow's first words. "Yes," said Larry. Barney, and Old Jimmie as well, had perked up at the appearance of Barlow, as though at aid which had come just in time.
Bill followed the Irishman closely, and knew that he spoke with a purpose. His eyes narrowed, and his lips bent into that cold smile which the men of the camp had come to know was no smile at all, but a battle alarm, the more ominous for its silence. "Do you mean that it is a frame-up? That Moncrossen " Fallon silenced him with a motion.
