I always used to think, somehow, nobody ever seemed to be able to get into a pelter with Jim, not even father, and that was a thing as some people couldn't be got to believe. As for mother and Aileen, they were as fond of him as if he'd been a big baby.
"Tell him it will do no good for him to tell anything, and that, if he keeps mum, we will remain his friends and do all we possibly can for him." "You are piling a lot of work on my shoulders," grumbled the lawyer. "And shady work, too. What do I get out of this?" "You know what I promised you," answered Jesse Pelter. "A thousand isn't enough. Just look at the risk I am running."
"Sorry Tom got hurt and hope he will come out all right," said Dan Baxter, sympathetically. "But who are those men you mentioned?" "A firm of brokers; named Pelter, Japson & Company." "What!" ejaculated Dan Baxter. "Did you say Japson?" "Yes, Dan. Do you know him?" "Sure I do. He used to be in a jewelry firm in Albany. They tried to stick our firm but we shut down on 'em. But that isn't all, Dick.
"Yes, Dick, but your college career " "We'll talk about those things later, Dad. First, I want to get you away from here, and in a safe place. Then we'll attend to Crabtree, Pelter and Japson," added Dick, grimly. "The business matters have been too much for me I realize it now," sighed Anderson Rover. "I must take a rest a good, long rest.
The offices of Pelter, Japson & Company were located in the rear, overlooking the roof of a restaurant on the street beyond. Dick entered a tiny waiting room and an office boy came to ask what he wanted. "I wish to see Mr. Pelter," said Dick. "Not in yet." "When do you expect him?." "Ought to be here now." "Then I'll wait," and Dick dropped on a chair.
Don't you remember Pelter said over the telephone that he would 'make him do it'? They'll force father into something if they can." "Well, what's our next move?" asked Sam, impatiently. "As it is after noon, we had better visit a quick lunch room and get a bit to eat. Then I think we had better hire some private tug to take us up the river.
As the lower end struck the ground, Pelter commenced to slide down, closely followed by his partner. Evidently they were both willing to risk their lives in an effort to escape. The thought of going to jail filled them with grim terror. Reaching the ground, neither of the men hesitated an instant over what to do next.
The distance to the ground was all of twenty-five feet, too far for any of them to risk a drop. "We might make a rope of these old blankets," suggested Jesse Pelter. "Talk to Rover at the door while I try it." His partner went back to the door, while the others commenced to make a rope by tearing a blanket into strips and tying the ends together. The back window was raised and the rope lowered.
Crabtree, that what I wanted to see you about is this. I want to know if you can tell me where Mr. Jesse Pelter is just now." "Oh, is that all!" And Josiah Crabtree's face showed his disappointment. "That is all at present." "Humph! Supposing I don't care to tell you where he is?" "Now see here!" pursued Dick, earnestly. "If I understand matters aright, Mr.
The automobile rolled on, lost to sight in less than a minute, around the bend of the road. It was headed in the direction of New York City. "The man on the front seat with the driver was Pelter!" exclaimed Tom. "And dad was inside the car!" gasped Sam. "You are right," returned Dick. "And Crabtree and another man was with him. Dad looked as if he had his hands bound behind him."
