“Hank Griswold has been caught and has made a confession,” put in Leo. “So your game is up, Nathan Dobb. I always thought there was something wrong about your doings concerning my parents’ estate, and now I know it.”

“Griswold under arrest!” he gasped.
“Yes, and you will be soon, too,” added Barton Reeve.
“By gum!” came faintly from Daniel Hawkins.
“I—I—it is all a mistake,” stammered Nathan Dobb. “I—er—never intended to defraud Leo out of a cent.”
“I will never believe that,” replied our hero warmly.
“Get an officer,” said Barton Reeve quietly.
“No! no! don’t arrest me! For the sake of my family, have mercy!” groaned Nathan Dobb, breaking down utterly.
