"You'll put these on," he said grimly, and spite his protestations
Buddy Girk was handcuffed.
"Hold on! "cried Dick, as Arnold Baxter started to run. He made a
clutch for the man, but Baxter was too quick for him and slipped
through the crowd and out of the depot. Instantly Dick made after
him.
CHAPTER XXVIII
THE RECOVERY OF THE WATCH -- CONCLUSION
Arnold Baxter hesitated but a moment on gaining the depot
platform. A freight train was passing the station at a slow rate
of speed, and, running to an empty car which stood wide open, he
leaped on board.
Dick was close behind him, and as the man boarded the freight car
caught him by the leg. As Dick held on like a bulldog there was
nothing left for Arnold Baxter to do but to drag the youth up
behind him.
"You imp!" he snarled, as the two faced each other on the car
floor. "What do you mean by following me in this fashion?"
"And what do you mean by running away in this fashion?" panted
Dick.
"I have a right to do as I please."
"And so have!"
"You have no right to follow me."
"That remains to be seen, Arnold Baxter. I would like to ask you
a few questions."
"Would you, indeed?" sneered the tall man.
