We have settled on a price, and we'll take not a dollar less. Either you'll come to our terms, or we'll cut the ground from under yer and leave you nothing but empty air to stand on." "What is your price?" "Five hundred thousand dollars!" "Quite modest!" said Merry sarcastically. "Will you pay it?" "Not a dollar of it!" Hagan was set back, for he had fancied the youth weakening.
In a dazed condition he saw officers swarm into the room, saw Hagan who had been introduced to him as Harrigan handcuffed, saw Frank Merriwell bending over a limp, still form and declaring the man was Lazaro. "He has swallowed poison!" cried Dade, arousing himself at last, and rushing forward. "I saw him do it!"
He uttered all sorts of waggeries, did the merry General, upon the subject of this marriage; upon George's share in bringing it about; upon Barry's jealousy when he should hear of it, He vowed it was cruel that cousin Hagan had not selected George as groomsman; that the first child should be called Carpezan or Sybilla, after the tragedy, and so forth.
But once he likes you he'll work his fool head off to please you. He likes me that way. You get him to like you, and you'll have the time of your life here. And, honest, I won't give you any trouble at all. It'll be a regular snap, just as if I wasn't here at all." AT nine in the evening, sharp to the second, clad in his oldest clothes, Young Dick met Tim Hagan at the Ferry Building.
"You know what a snug time our dear old alms-women have. I was telling Mrs. Church about it last Sunday. She took a keen desire to belong to us, and I sort of half, in a kind of a way, promised her. Is there likely to be a vacancy soon, Aunt Katie?" "Well, dear, there is a vacancy at the present moment. Mrs. Hagan breathed her last, poor soul! and was waked not a fortnight ago.
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."
"No." "They're in the safe. I'll get Eben to open it as soon as Mr. Hagan leaves." Teasingly the man inquired, "Doesn't your husband trust you with the combination?" Conscience flushed. Her companion had touched a sensitive nerve. This was one of the details that went into the summary of Eben's excluding her from his business life, and it had hurt her.
And I may mention here, that this benevolent plan was executed a score of months later; when I was enabled myself to be of service to Mr. Hagan, who was one of the kindest and best of our friends during our own time of want and distress.
Hagan, standing in the road, brushed his hand bewilderingly across his eyes. "Yes but you I " "Never mind about that!" Jimmie Dale leaned out, and gripped Hagan's arm impressively. "There's only one thing you've got to think of, or remember. Keep your mouth shut! No matter what happens, keep your mouth shut if you want to save your neck! Good-night, Hagan!" The car was racing forward again.
"We'll try it," decided the one who appeared to be in command. "We're in the dark, anyhow, and the thing may be only a steer. Mabbe it'll work anyway, it won't do any harm." His hand fell heavily on Jimmie Dale's shoulder. "Mrs. Hagan know you?" brusquely. "Sure she does!" sniffled Larry the Bat. "Good!" rasped the officer. "Well, we'll make the visit with you.
