“What’s that?” he asked.
“I asked what was the matter with you?” repeated Bob.
Instead of replying the man sprang to his feet, and caught Bob by the throat.
“I’ll show you,” he mumbled, with a hiccough. “Give me back my money, Jim Casco, d’ye hear?”
CHAPTER XI
BOB ASSISTS A STRANGER
Bob was surprised at the stranger’s words. He shook off the hold the man had on his throat, and then grasped him by both arms.
“What did you say?” he demanded.
“I said I wanted my money back,” growled the stranger, wildly. “You drugged me, and I know it, Jim Casco.”
Again the man stared at Bob, and then to both sides.
“I must be off,” he hiccoughed. “I thought I was still in Cabot’s place.”
