"Show me which way Crabtree went," said Dick, and the brothers walked in the direction the fugitive had taken. But, though they spent over an hour in looking for the man, not a trace of him could be found. "Well, this proves one thing anyway," said Dick, as he and Sam started on the return to the hotel. "Crabtree is in league with Pelter, Japson & Company.
"That's the best news yet!" cried Dick, and his face showed his relief. "Yes, it is even better than this news you sent me that Pelter and Japson have been captured." "Well, I am mighty glad we rounded up those rascals," said the son. "So am I." "Did Sam say anything about Crabtree?" "He said Crabtree was about the same. The doctors are doing what they can for him.
I am afraid he is having a good deal of trouble in straightening out Dad's business." "Just the way I look at it," responded Sam, as the brothers prepared to leave the room. "One thing is sure, Pelter, Japson & Company certainly did all they could to mix matters up, and I doubt very much if they gave Dad all that was coming to him."
"What, to-night!" exclaimed the aunt. "Why, that will get you to New York at midnight!" "Just about," said Tom. "You had better start in the morning. What will you do at midnight in a big city like New York!" "We'll go direct to the Outlook Hotel," answered Dick. "And then, if we can't find out anything about father, we can go down to the offices of Pelter, Japson & Company in the morning."
More than likely Japson was afraid you would be on guard and spot him. As soon as Japson telephoned in Pelter went out most likely to meet his partner." "And maybe to hunt up Crabtree, Dick." "Perhaps." "But what of father?" went on the youngest Rover, anxiously. "I can't answer that question, Sam. But it is going to be answered sooner or later if I have to have all those men arrested.
If we could have held him back a couple of days longer that land and maybe those stocks would have been ours." "He's got some smart sons, that man," observed Fog. "I know, for I once ran up against them," and he told about the biplane incident. "They are altogether too smart," growled Pelter. "I'd like to wring their necks for 'em!" "Well, we'll turn the trick on 'em yet," said Japson.
I saw Japson to-day not two hours ago." "You did? Where?" And now Dick was all attention. "I visited a er a lady friend of mine. She lives in an apartment house near Prospect Park. I might as well tell you that some day we are going to be married. Well, when I was coming out of the place I saw Japson go in he and two other men."
Both Pelter and Japson have offered to turn over to us the entire contents of their offices in Wall Street, along with their lease. I don't think the outfit is worth the fifteen hundred dollars, but when you can't get all that is coming to you, the next best thing is to take what you can get.
"It would be just like him to send a letter and then telegraph afterwards." "Well, one thing is clear," remarked Tom. "We have got to find dad, and do it pretty quickly, too. We know or, at least, we are pretty sure of it that he is in the power of Crabtree and Pelter, Japson & Company. Now the question is, What are we going to do about it?"
"Then keep still," answered Dick, grimly, and he continued to hold the man. Soon one of the policemen came up, and then, much against his will, the head of the firm of Pelter, Japson & Company was handcuffed like his partner in crime. "You'll suffer for this, Rover; see if you don't!" growled Jesse Pelter, after the excitement was over. "I have done nothing wrong, and I can prove it.
