"I've got to get some sleep, or I won't be worth anything in the morning. And if I am to call on Messrs. Pelter, Japson & Company I want to have my wits about me." He stepped around the corner of the hallway, in the direction where his own room was located.
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.
"And remember, we signed them just before we went to the West," added Japson. "And remember also that you saw us take a train at the Grand Central Depot," went on Pelter. "Oh, I'll remember that," returned the lawyer, with a sly chuckle. "And I'll remember also that I got two telegrams from you one from Chicago and one from Detroit." And he laughed again.
Tom reddened a bit, and then put his forefinger to his forehead. "You mean it would help me here?" And then, as Sam nodded, he added: "Oh, don't you worry. I am all right now, my head doesn't bother me a bit. But I do wish I could get just one good chance at Pelter for the crack that rascal gave me on the head with the footstool."
"What did this Barton Pelter want?" asked Sam. "He wanted to see his uncle. He knew that the firm had sold out to you folks, but he was not certain if they had moved away yet. When I told him that his uncle was gone, he looked kind of disappointed." "Was he in this office, Bob?" questioned Dick. "No, sir, he was only in the outside office." "Did he say anything about bonds or money?" "No, sir."
"Wait a minute!" cried Dick. "You forget that Japson has been away from New York for some time. The detective told me that, and said it was positive. So that would seem to put the thing off on Pelter's shoulders; and I think Pelter is just the man to do such a thing. You'll remember how bitter he was against us when we exposed him." "Then let us locate Jesse Pelter without delay," broke in Tom.
He had a horror of lightning since the day of his birth. "Ay, we're in for a pelter. What have you been doing that you didna see't?" They went to the window. The fronting heavens were a black purple. The thunder, which had been growling in the distance, swept forward and roared above the town. The crash no longer rolled afar, but cracked close to the ear, hard, crepitant.
Rover had been requested to come to the city immediately, to see about some business connected with the Sunset Irrigation Company. The documents were some transfers of stock which they did not quite understand. "He came down here to see Pelter, Japson & Company, that's certain," remarked Dick. "It eras evidently the only reason why he came to New York.
Stanhope, and see what a rascal he turned out to be!" "I wonder if they have captured him yet," mused Tom. "Never mind Crabtree now," put in Dick. "What we want to do is to find father. I don't know exactly how we are going at it, but I think I'll have some sort of plan by morning." "We can go down to Pelter, Japson & Company and make them tell what they know," said Sam.
"I'll put a man on the trail of the young fellow who went West," he said, "and as soon as he sends me any word regarding Jesse Pelter I'll go after that fellow, and I'll also let you know what I'm doing;" and so it was arranged. When the boys arrived at the hotel that evening the girls had much to tell them.
