In a steel grip that he struggled hopelessly to loosen he was helpless as a child. Brutally the Wolf bore him back to the wall, where he beat his head savagely against the door frame. A look of savage glee shone on the Wolf's smooth countenance. Ledermann leaped across the floor and seized the Wolf's arm. "Off!" cried the murderer, and with his hand dealt Ledermann a stinging blow in the face.
A dozen policemen ran in, three of them following Ledermann, at Porky's direction, while the others snapped the cuffs on the two men at the table, and tenderly took the cruel gag from Asa's parched and bleeding mouth, and untied him. Beany rushed up into the attic after the men who were pursuing Ledermann and as he reached the place, the call of the wireless caught his attention.
Well, I have taught stubborn boys and men many times many times! So you had better tell me who suspects the Wolf." A sound at the door caused him to turn. Ledermann entered. "What's this, Excellency?" asked Ledermann. "Whom have we here?" "A stubborn little boy," said the Wolf.
Porky thought a moment with a deep frown on his face. "It's a patent medicine he has invented," he ventured finally. "That's a good guess," said Ledermann. "Such a good guess that I think you must have heard some of our talk." "I didn't, honest," said Porky. "Couldn't you see I was asleep? What do you suppose I care about your old patent medicine? So long as you ain't policemen, let me go.
I'll not destroy him while he is busy on the Emperor's business. But some day, some day, Ledermann " "Never mind", said Ledermann. "Let that all go for now. What have you to, tell me? First?" "First, where is the Wolf to-night?" asked Adolph. "That's what always worries me most. He will rise at my side in a minute, I know." "Not to-night," said Ledermann. "For once he will not be here.
It was hollow and was neatly packed with papers like the one in the Wolf's hand. The Wolf turned out the precious packets, and looked them over carefully. Ledermann looked from the Wolf intent on his papers, to Asa, bound in the chair. He looked at the Wolf again. He swayed a little; the drinks had gone to his head just enough to make him unsteady and reckless.
It is all show, my Adolph, all show like the Countess that our friend the Wolf loves so back there in Berlin. I wonder what she would think could she see him here?" "She will never see him here or there if I can help it," growled the other man. "I do not forget this bandaged neck, or this sore head of mine." He laughed a laugh that chilled Porky. "Watch, Ledermann, watch!
Adolph took something in his hand. "The usual thing!" he asked. "Yes," said Ledermann. "Poison." Porky, scarcely breathing, listened with all his ears. And then a terrible thing happened. Porky sneezed! Loudly, earnestly Porky Sneezed. It was so sudden, so unexpected that he could not control or disguise it. It came out, seemingly filling the little plant house.
The counting was interrupted with directions and threats. The Weasel drew a long breath of relief when he was finally dismissed, and was allowed to slip out into the night, where he turned toward Syracuse. Ledermann still worked over the unconscious man. The Wolf called at headquarters and was pleasantly received, with the formula that was to overthrow the world lying in his pocket.
I know I did. I went back but there was no paper there, but I found my pocket knife close to the water's edge, so the paper and ticket must have fallen in the water. What was it anyhow to the finder but a plain, clean piece of paper? No harm, no harm, Ledermann!" "Here is something the Wolf told me to give you," said Ledermann. "You are to use it whenever you can. Watch the bakery."
