More whispering went on under that roof than in all the other places in town put together; for here rustling was planned, wayfaring strangers were "trimmed" in "frame-up" at cards, and a hunted man was certain to find assistance.
"How a frame-up?" demanded her father, no bit of the accusing harshness gone out of his voice. "Our plan against Dick Sherwood was to have him propose to me, then for me to confess that I was really married to a mean sort of man I didn't love the idea being that Dick would be infatuated enough to pay a big sum to a dummy husband, and the three of us would disappear as soon as we got Dick's money.
I'd been wondering if it wasn't some frame-up, but it's on the level. That boy couldn't frame anything." "Not with those eyes," a sallow companion agreed. "I seem to know that other bird. He's a crook, if I know faces." "He's just the mechanic. He don't count. But that kid say, I like that kid!" And he added enthusiastically, "Great story, that stuff the mechanic doped out for us.
We've released a couple of others at the same time, so's to cover you all right; and now you're to go back and find out all you can about the Reds, and what they're doing, and what they're planning. They're shouting, of course, that this is a `frame-up. You must find out what they know. You must be careful, of course watch every step you take, because they'll be suspicious for a while.
"McAlpin," he said contemptuously, "walk around behind Laramie and lift Stone's gun." Stone started violently. "Look out, Tenison! I lift my gun when there's men to stand by and see fair play!" A roar of laughter went up. "I don't lift it for no frame-up," he shouted, turning angrily toward the unsympathetic crowd. "Get out!" cried one voice far enough back to be safe.
"Anyhow," Peterson went on, "there was a frame-up, and those that was in it has got to pay me for what I went through. That's partly why I'm here in Noo York. If I don't have those papers by ten I'll show up at the Sands flat and ask for the missis." "You wouldn't find Mr. Sands at home," the girl cut in. "He's out. When he comes back he's likely to go away again at once."
Do you quite understand, Mr. Gilder? I married him." In that insistence lay her ultimate compensation for untold misery. The father stood there wordless, unable to find speech against this calamity that had befallen him. It was Burke who offered a diversion, a crude interruption after his own fashion. "It's a frame-up," he roared. He glared at the young man. "Tell your father it ain't true.
Every night at the Labor Temple, where the workers gathered, there were agitators howling their heads off about the McCormick case. To make matters worse, there was an obscure one cent evening paper in American City which catered to working-class readers, and persisted in publishing evidence tending to prove that the case was a "frame-up."
"I don't believe it." "Of course you don't." Tim's projecting balcony shook with the humor of it. "But you'll be convinced when they take your mill from youse, me boy. It's a frame-up and you're the goat." With which shot he took his departure, too shrewd to attempt any argument. He had left behind him a doubt. That was all he could do just now.
That's how you stand with me. You, too!" he shot at the McCaskeys. "Let me warn you if this is a frame-up you'll all go on the woodpile for the winter. D'you hear me? Of course, if you want to press this charge I'll make the arrest, but I'll just take you three fellows along so you can do some swearing before the colonel, where it'll go on the records." "Arrest? But certainly!" screamed the Count.
