"I'll go and call for help to arrest him," said Tony.
"And leave me alone with him?" asked Ben, terrified.
"No; we will lock the door, and you shall go and stay outside till I come back."
Tony's proposal was distasteful to Rudolph. He had a wholesome dread of the law, and didn't fancy the prospect of an arrest, especially as he knew that the testimony of Tony and the old man would be sufficient to insure him a prolonged term of imprisonment. He made a fresh and violent struggle which portended danger to his captors.
"Come out quick," said Tony, hastily. "It is not safe for you to stay here any longer."
The old man followed him nothing loth, and Tony locked the door on the outside.
"Do you think he will get free?" asked Ben, nervously.
"He may, and if he does there is no safety for either of us till he is caught again."
"The door is locked."
