Chapter XXXIII
BOB BECOMES A PRISONER “That’s the time I caught you, you little sneak!” It was Casco who uttered the words, and it was he who had stepped up behind Bob and pulled him partly into the room. Without replying the young photographer straightened up and let out with his right arm. The scar-faced man went backward in such a hurry that he hit the wall opposite with considerable force. “Help!” he yelled.
