Do you think we'll give up the things we have fought so hard to get? Not much!" While Japson was speaking Pelter had stepped back into the garret. Now he came again to the window, at the same time whispering to his companion. "Hello, Dixon!" he called, as if to somebody behind Tom. As was but natural, the youth below turned quickly, thinking some friend of the broker's had appeared.
The offices of Pelter, Japson & Company were located in the rear, overlooking the roof of a restaurant on the street beyond. Dick entered a tiny waiting room and an office boy came to ask what he wanted. "I wish to see Mr. Pelter," said Dick. "Not in yet." "When do you expect him?." "Ought to be here now." "Then I'll wait," and Dick dropped on a chair.
"If I get through at all, I shall be lucky," vouchsafed Tom, after passing in a particularly hard paper. "We'll hope for the best," returned Sam. During those days came another letter from Dick, in which he stated that he had moved into the offices vacated by Pelter, Japson & Company, and was doing his best to get everything into working order.
Crabtree knows that father is missing, and he had that extra key made to get into the room during father's absence." "But where is dad? Do you imagine Crabtree had anything to do with his disappearance?" came from Tom. "I certainly do. Maybe Crabtree is holding him a prisoner." "Then Pelter, Japson & Company haven't anything to do with it?" "I wouldn't say that, Tom.
Powell came to see them regarding an investment which Anderson Rover had made during the time that Pelter, Japson & Company were his brokers. This investment now called for a further outlay of a little over seven thousand dollars, and the boys had to find some means of raising that amount.
The men arose and Japson lit a lantern, for he knew it was dark in the garret. Then, one behind the other, they filed out into the hallway and went upstairs. "They are going to find out something pretty soon!" chuckled Tom. "Come on, let us follow 'em, Tom," answered his brother. "I've got a new idea." "What is it?" "Perhaps we can lock 'em in that garret until help arrives."
This was done, and then Pelter, Japson, and Fogg were held for a further hearing. "Can't we get bail?" demanded the lawyer. "Certainly, if you wish," was the reply. And then the amount was fixed, and the prisoners sent out a messenger, to see if they could not get somebody to go on their bail bonds. Dick's parting with Baxter was very cordial.
