CHAPTER IV.
HAWLEY’S CONTRIBUTION.
“Thanks, old man,” said the Camera Chap to Carroll, as the boy went off to deliver this message. “But I hope this defiance of the police won’t get you into any trouble?”
“I think not,” the editor replied. “You haven’t committed a murder, or any crime of a serious nature, have you?”
“No, indeed,” Hawley assured him. “All I did was to take a snapshot. But I wasn’t referring to trouble with the authorities. What I meant was that I hope this won’t get you in bad with the owner of this paper. The chief of police doesn’t happen to be a friend of his, does he?”
“No,” replied Carroll grimly. “I assure you that fat bully of a chief is far from being a friend of mine.”
“But I said the owner of the paper,” Hawley protested.
Carroll grinned. “My dear Hawley, the owner of the Oldham Daily Bulletin sits before you now.”
