The bullet grazed Frank’s head and he staggered.
Murdock dashed out into the street and ran away.
Recovering himself, Frank rushed after him, but the villain jumped into a carriage and was whirled away.
The vehicle went toward the water front.
Frank ran along after it, holding a handkerchief to his head where a wound had been inflicted.
The carriage soon distanced him.
He afterwards met it coming back and hailed the driver.
“Does monsieur wish to ride?”
“Yes. Here’s a five-dollar piece.”
“Monsieur is very generous.”
