Trevison's leap upon Braman had been swift; he was back in the doorway instantly, looking at Corrigan, his eyes ablaze with rage, wild, reckless, bitter. He laughed the sound of it brought a grayish pallor to Corrigan's face. "That explains your nerve!" he taunted. "It's a frame-up. You sent the deputy after me pointed me out when I went into Hanrahan's! That's how he knew me!
But he had never reported anybody who hadn't really broken the law, and he had never told McGivney anything but the truth. Then Andrews proceeded to examine him. Peter denied that he had ever reported anything about the Goober case. He denied most strenuously that he had ever had anything to do with the McCormick "frame-up."
And like the really splendid fellow he is, Dick Sherwood offered to help me set straight the things I wanted to set straight. Particularly to clear Larry Brainard. And so my being here as you find me is part of a plan between Dick Sherwood and myself. It's really a frame-up. A frame-up to catch Barney Palmer and Jimmie Carlisle." "A frame-up!" ejaculated these two in startled unison.
"He'll swear that you deliberately sent this ship into full drive while I was out on the hull checking the rings." "He can't," protested Barret. "He was on the bridge! He couldn't have seen a thing!" Tom shook his head gently. "Barret, after what you've done to his ship and the projectile operation," he said, "Hemmingwell will swear to anything." "It's a frame-up!" shouted Barret.
Gradually the meaning of the scene came home to her, and with it a realization that Steve Yeager was standing before her in the flesh. "You here!" she cried, scarce believing. "The cur lied," explained the cowpuncher. "It was a frame-up to get you in his power." "But your letter said " "Never mind about that now. Go down into the wash and bring up my horse. It needs water." She hesitated.
"Look here, Gudge! you got the nerve to charge us such a price for standing by your frame-up?" McGivney generally treated Peter as a coward and a feeble bluffer; but he had learned also that there was one time when the little man completely changed his nature, and that was when it was a question of getting hold of some cash. That was the question now; and Peter met McGivney scowl for scowl.
"Before Bill left last night he made out a bond for ninety thousand dollars just what your cattle are worth at the market price. If there's any damages comin' to you you'll get them out of that." "It's a frame-up," growled Carter, at Sanderson's side. "It proves itself. This guy, Lester, makes out a bond before we're within two days' drive of his bailiwick.
The bottom fell out of Peter's world; Peter went tumbling heels over head down, down into infinite abysses of horror and despair. Joe Angell was a secret agent like himself! The Blue-eyed Angell, who talked dynamite and assassination at a hundred radical gatherings, who shocked the boldest revolutionists by his reckless language Angell a spy, and Peter had proceeded to plant a "frame-up" on him!
Looks like a frame-up. If it is, you betcha we'll get at the truth." "Will you? Can you?" She turned to Dave in appeal, eyes starlike in a face that was a white and shining oval in the semi-darkness. "We'll try," he said simply. Something in the way he said it, in the quiet reticence of his promise, sent courage flowing to her heart.
"I heard that bum's story through the wall, that night in the Knitting Swede's," I explained. "I didn't try to listen, but I couldn't help hearing him. About the frame-up they worked on you Beulah Twigg, and Mary that's the lady, isn't it? and the one Beasley called 'he' I know 'he' is Yankee Swope. Oh, it was a dirty trick they played on you, Newman. I'm with you in anything you do to get even."
