And then he told Sam to get the police to watch the offices of Pelter, Japson & Company, and also look out for Belright Fogg. Before the specialist arrived to care for Tom, the ambulance came back with Josiah Crabtree. The former teacher of Putnam Hall showed his cowardly nature by groaning dismally every time he was moved.
There was a great deal to do in the way of protecting a number of rather uncertain investments which Pelter, Japson & Company had made for Mr. Anderson Rover while they were his brokers. "It's a mighty good thing that we got after Pelter, Japson & Company when we did," was Erick's comment. "If we hadn't, they would have put us in the worst kind of a hole, even if they had remained honest.
In one way, I feel sorry for the old fellow, but he brought the accident on himself. What a shame that a man with his education couldn't have remained honest and straightforward. "As I said above, Pelter, Japson & Company, are going to give up business here. Just the same, I don't like Pelter's actions at all.
This he now brought forth, and compared the handwriting with that of the letter just received. "It's the same hand," he affirmed. And after an examination the brothers agreed with him. "If Barton Pelter wrote that letter we ought to locate him without delay," was Sam's comment. "He may know just where the missing bonds are." "Or else where we can locate his uncle and Japson."
"Is there nobody else around attached to the old firm?" "I took on their old office boy, a lad named Bob Marsh. You'll remember him," returned the oldest Rover. "He said he wanted work the worst way, so I thought I would give him a chance." "Maybe he got the combination, and gave it to Pelter or Japson." "I don't think so, Sam.
"You have the same offices that Pelter, Japson & Company had, I perceive," he continued, allowing his eyes to rove around. "Yes, Mr. Crabtree," answered Dick. "By the way, do you know where Mr. Pelter is just now?" "You said you wanted to see me about some particular business," said the former teacher. "perhaps we had better get at that first." "Well, I might as well admit, Mr.
"That's what I say!" cried Pelter. "Canada for mine. I've been wanting to visit Montreal and Quebec. Now is our chance." "All right, whatever you say," answered Japson. "Maybe we would be safer out of the country until this matter blew over. Hang the luck! It was too bad to have Rover get away from us as he did.
Pelter of Pelter, Japson & Company, of New York City. Mr. Pelter is my uncle, and for a number of years I made my home with him. I do not altogether like his way of doing business, and do not uphold him in his dealings with your family. But he is my uncle, and on several occasions he has assisted me very materially. For that reason, I think it is best that we do not meet.
"This is certainly one on me," he confessed, frankly. "I looked that safe over very carefully, too. I should have discovered that;" and his face showed his chagrin. Then he was told about the Pelters and about Japson, and he agreed with the Rovers that he had best try to locate Barton Pelter and his uncle without delay.
He saw that the man with the pointed chin and heavy eyebrows was not present. The force consisted of Mr. Pelter, the office boy, a girl at a typewriter, and a very old man who was at the books. "Japson must be keeping out of the way," mused Tom, as he descended to the street. "I wonder if it was he or old Crabtree who talked to Pelter over the 'phone?"
