CHAPTER 12“ONE OF THE BOYS”
“Hello! What’s up, now?”
Nick Carter, sitting in his room, at the Windsor Hotel, on Dearborn Street, looked up with a smile, as Chick rushed into the room and hastened to the window.
“Nothing special.”
Chick peered carefully through the blinds as he spoke.
“I’m glad you came in early tonight,” said Nick, “for I am feeling a trifle annoyed.”
“About what?”
“It’s taking altogether too much time to get this man Parks back to Sing Sing.”
Chick turned out the gas, threw the window blinds wide open, and sat down in front of the window.
“I have a little surprise for you. Parks is at present trying to renew acquaintance with two famous high-power burglars, Gilmore and Geary.”
“What! Have you see him—Parks, I mean?”
“He is there at the Gilmore chop house.”
