The Camera Chap’s face grew grim. “And you mean to say you let him get away with that?” he exclaimed, in astonishment. “I did all that I could,” replied the proprietor of the _Bulletin_. “I preferred charges against him in court, and I’ve been roasting him on the front page of the paper every day since. But his pull enabled him to have the case thrown out of court, and the _Bulletin’s_ roasts don’t seem to have worried him much. He’s too thick-skinned to care what’s said or printed about him. “But, thick-skinned as he is,” Carroll went on, “I’ll bet he’ll rave when he sees his picture on our front page, showing him in that condition. That’ll hurt him more than anything else I can think of. So be sure to get a good snapshot of him, Frank; one that’ll show the public just what a beast he is.” The taking of this flash-light picture was an easy matter, and there was no risk attached, for Captain Alf Callman was too happy to realize what was happening, and merely grinned fatuously when the flash went off. Nevertheless, Hawley had never in all his career as a camera man derived more satisfaction from the taking of a snapshot. The last picture of the night was that of a policeman whom they discovered a few blocks farther on, fast asleep in a doorway. He was so dazed by the flash light that the Camera Chap had no difficulty in getting away. Having added this trophy to his collection, Hawley turned to Carroll with a satisfied smile. “Now, I guess we can go home,” he said. “I think we’ve done a fairly good night’s work.” “The best ever!” chuckled the proprietor of the _Bulletin_. “If these pictures of yours turn out all right, I’ve got an idea that they’ll stir this old town as it’s never been stirred before.” CHAPTER XIX. THE ENEMY’S MOVE. Although the _Bulletin_ was not a profusely illustrated newspaper, it maintained a photo-engraving plant of its own. Carroll had installed this department when he first acquired possession of the paper, and had brought a man named Neilson from New York to take charge of it. It had been Carroll’s original intention to go in extensively for half-tone illustrations, but his failure to make a financial success of the publication had necessitated a cutting down of expenses wherever possible, and now pictures were seldom used in the pages of the _Bulletin_. When Carroll informed Neilson that he would have to dispense with his services, candidly telling him the reason, the engraver proposed that he be permitted to take in outside job work in lieu of salary.
