He went to New York City, and disappeared, and his three sons went at once on the hunt for him. The brokers were Pelter, Japson & Company, and it was not long before Dick and his brothers discovered that Pelter and Japson were in league with Josiah Crabtree. In the end the boys found out what had become of their parent, and they managed to bring the brokers to terms.
He was also to do his best to help the brokers prove an alibi when accused of the abduction of Anderson Rover. "I'm getting dry," remarked Japson, presently. "Fogg, haven't you got something to drink, and some cigars?" "Sure I have," answered the lawyer, and Dick heard him leave the apartment and go into a dining-room.
One thing is sure, something very much out of the way has happened, or Dick wouldn't have sent that telegram." "Perhaps Pelter, Japson & Company haven't been as honest as they promised to be. Maybe they are holding back some of the securities that belong to dad." "That may be so, too. At the same time, you must remember that Songbird's uncle is our attorney, and I don't think Mr.
"My programme is this," answered the big brother. "Instead of the three of us calling on Pelter, Japson & Company I think one is enough and that ought to be me, for I have already met Mr. Pelter, once, when I came to New York with dad." "But what do you want to leave us out for?" grumbled Sam.
With the fall of Crabtree had come the greater portion of the blanket-rope. Pelter had disappeared from the window, and evidently he and Japson were in consultation. "See here, Rover, we want to talk to you!" called out the broker, reappearing at the window a minute later. "Call your brothers." "What do you want?" "We want to fix matters up with you." "You can do that after you are in jail."
This is all a plot on the part of you and your family to get our firm into trouble." "You can do your talking when you are in jail," answered Dick, briefly. "I know what I am doing." "Maybe you got Crabtree to hatch up a story against us," came from Japson. "Never mind what Crabtree confessed," said Dick. "You'll get what is coming to you, never fear."
"We won't use force unless it is necessary," said Dick, grimly. They soon came in sight of Nyack, but nothing that looked like the schooner came into view. "Maybe they went further," suggested Sam. "Their turning in might have been a bluff to throw us off the trail." "Or they may have sent a message ashore maybe a message to Japson!" cried Dick.
"I don't think so in fact, the safe man led me to believe it was one of the newer kinds. It is about five feet square, and the walls are almost a foot thick. Oh, it is some safe, I can tell you that!" "But it was not safe in this instance," retorted Tom, who, no matter how serious the situation, was bound to have his little joke. "You said Pelter and Japson had gone for good," continued Sam.
Near one of the windows grew some bushes, and they crept along to these. Then Dick looked through the window. He saw Pelter and Japson seated at a table, going over some legal papers. Nobody else was visible. "Perhaps Crabtree took father to some other place, after the chauffeur left!" thought the youth, in dismay. The window was closed, so the boys could not hear what was being said.
At three o'clock Dick left the Outlook Hotel to keep the engagement. "You had better stay here until I get back, in case any word comes in about Tom," said he to his father. "Very well, Dick; I shall be glad of the rest," replied Anderson Rover. He had already given the particulars of how he had been kidnapped while on his way to meet Japson.
