Then Sergeant Brown fired, and the elder Baxter went down, shot through the left leg. By this time all of the evildoers realized that the final struggle for freedom was at hand, and began to fight desperately, Buddy Girk engaging Dick, Bill Goss facing Carter, and Mrs. Goss beating Martin Harris back with a stew pan from the gallery.
"But I reckon we could do without the Baxter and the Buddy Girk kind." "And the Josiah Crabtree kind," added Sam. "Don't forget that miserable sneak." "Perhaps Crabtree has reformed, like Mumps." "It wasn't in him to reform, Larry," came from Tom. "Oh, how I detested him, with his slick, oily tongue! I wish they had caught him and placed him where he deserved to be, with the Baxters."
"You were always a bully, Dan Baxter, and a bully is a coward." "Is your name Baxter?" asked asked Stumpy Nuggs, curiously. "Never mind what it is," growled Baxter. "I used ter have a friend wot knowed a feller named Baxter," went on the tramp. "Me friend's name was Buddy Girk." "I know your friend," cried Tom. "He once stole my brother Dick's watch.
Frank was willing, and away they went across the street and also into the gloom. Buddy Girk was making good time past a number of business buildings which at this hour of the night were locked and barred up and practically deserted. "I wonder if he saw us start to follow him?" whispered Dick, after several blocks had been passed. "I don't think so.
Here's a back door, remember, and it's pretty dark outside." "That may be so," returned Tom, shaking his curly head in perplexity. "It's too bad we didn't follow Girk and Baxter up at least as far as the street." "Perhaps Dick is at our house waiting for us to come back," put in Frank. "Let us go home and see. We can come back early in the morning." He looked at his watch.
The fight on deck had been short and fierce, but our friends had had the best of it from the very start, and when Dick came up he found but little for him to do. Arnold Baxter lay where he had fallen, moaning piteously, while Buddy Girk and Bill Goss were in irons. Mrs.
If he had, it's more than likely that he would have legged it to get away. He hullo, he's going into that alleyway!" As Tom spoke he pointed to an opening between two tall office buildings. Reaching the spot they saw, at the foot of the alleyway, a couple of tenement houses. Buddy Girk was ascending the steps of one of the houses, and presently he disappeared within the dark hall.
"Well er what of that money?" began Dick, glancing at those around him. "We can't let you go," interposed Sergeant Brown. "You are wanted for that robbery in Albany." "We deny the robbery," said Arnold Baxter. "All right you'll have a chance to clear yourself in court." "We are not going to court, not by a jugful," put in Buddy Girk. "If we give up the gal that's got to end it.
"Sure Mooney wasn't smart enough for such a game." "Perhaps not, but he got others to help him," said Dick. "He got Buddy Girk and Arnold Baxter, I feel positive of it." "The whole thing fits together pretty well," said the detective. "If only we, can lay hands on these men the boy mentions, we'll be all right."
The thief turned swiftly, and as he saw himself confronted by Dick and the officer of the law his face fell. "I ain't done nothing'!" he cried, and tried to break away, but the officer at once overpowered him and brought forth a pair of handcuffs. "You'll put these on," he said grimly, and spite his protestations Buddy Girk was handcuffed. "Hold on! "cried Dick, as Arnold Baxter started to run.
