An' next I hears Johnny howlin' murder. Frame-up, Mr. Haggerty. Nothin' t' do with it, hones' t' Gawd! Th' boss ain't here." Jameson lurched toward the bartender. "Young lookin'? Red cheeks? 'Old himself like a sojer?" "That's 'im," agreed the bartender. "What were y' robbed of?" demanded Haggerty. Jameson looked into a pair of chilling blue eyes. His own wavered drunkenly. "Money." "Y' lie!
You'd better keep close till you look a bit less knocked-up. There's no need that what's happened should come to Miss Leslie." "Think so, do you?" said Blake. "Well, I don't." "What's that?" put in Griffith. "There's not going to be any frame-up over this, that's what," rejoined Blake, reaching for his hat and suitcase. "Soon 's I get a shave I'm going out to tell her."
We waited until he showed up again as the Pug, and then we put over a frame-up deal on him that got him to go over to that old iron plant in Harlem, you know, behind Jake Malley's saloon, where we had it fixed to hand Cloran his last night and the Pug's there now. He's nicely gagged, and tied, and quite safe.
He was a large, heavy-jowled man with sandy mustache and a vacancy among his upper teeth into which a pipe-stem fitted neatly. He was the superintendent of an apartment building in Lenox Avenue. "I think it's a frame-up," he said, pausing to use the bicuspid vacancy for the purpose of expectoration. "That's what I think it is.
Peter read, on and on, breathless with wonder, and when he got thru with the story he rolled back on his bed and laughed out loud. By heck, that was the limit! Peter had framed a frame-up on Guffey's man, and of course Guffey couldn't send this man to prison; so he had had him turn state's evidence, and was letting him go free, as his reward for telling on the others!
"Steady there, boys!" he shouted. "Don't start anything. These men are here through prearrangement it's another frame-up. Keep your guns out of sight!" He turned, to see Corrigan grinning contemptuously at him. He met the look with naked exultation and triumph. "Got your body-guard within call, eh?" he jeered. "You need one.
The gubernatorial administration of Kiev, presided over by the ferocious Governor-General Bibikov, received intimations to the effect "that the Tzaddik of Ruzhin wielded almost the power of a Tzar" among his adherents, who did not stir with out his advice. The police began to watch the Tzaddik, and at length found an occasion for a "frame-up."
"When are they coming?" asked Ned, as he and Tom went out one morning to make the first test of the guns. "They will be here any day, now. They didn't set any definite date. I suppose they want to take us unawares, to see that I don't 'frame-up' any game on them. Well, I'll be ready any time they come.
The lieutenant answered him with some impatience: "I admit it looks fishy, but what is there to do? The colonel likes Pierce, as we all do, but he had no choice." "It's dirty frame-up." "I imagine he believes so. And yet how the deuce did that sack get where it was? I was standing alongside the McCaskeys when Courteau went up to pay his check, and I'm sure they had no part in it."
"Yes, I heard it!" he cried. "And a rotten, cowardly frame-up I call it! We never lacked for hospitality from her people. And this is the way you repay it. With your mouth full of talk about fair play, too. You make me sick!" For an instant they stared at him flabbergasted. For the masters to be bearded by a humble grub-rider was incredible.
