CHAPTER XVIII.
THE POLICE RAID.
Felipe Jalisco made good his escape that night, thanks to the assistance of his friend, Carlos Mendoza.
The following morning Frank swore out a warrant for the arrest of Jalisco, and this he took with him in order to have it ready when the proper time came.
He was determined to get back at the fellow without delay.
Believing Jalisco was stopping in New York, Frank gave a description of him to the police, and set them on the lookout for the fellow. He likewise told them that Jalisco might be found in company with Bantry Hagan sooner or later.
Two days passed without the apprehension of the Mexican lad being made or any trace of him discovered. On the forenoon of the third day Frank suddenly came face to face with Bantry Hagan in front of the Vendome Hotel, on Broadway.
The moment he saw Merry, the Irishman stopped, planting himself fairly in Frank's path.
"Sure it's a word I'd like to have with you, young man," he growled, frowning blackly.
