Franklin MAN SNATCHERS By WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE THALF past twelve o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, the thir- teenth day of December in the year nineteen hundred eighteen, Pemberton Forbes, seated at his desk in his private suite in the Cedar Street offices of the Forbes Powder Works, Inc., scribbled a brief mes- sage on a telegraph blank and pressed a button. He read the message and corrected it. This is what it said: Pay all hands one full month's extra wages. Shut down plant forth- with. We quit to-day. A girl entered, as though in answer to his summons. "Mr. Forbes," announced the girl, "Mr. Breed is outside. He says it's quite important." Pemberton Forbes frowned. "Which Mr. Breed?" he queried. "Mr. Breed of the Breed By-Products Company," returned the girl. The frown on the face of Mr. Pemberton Forbes deepened. "Sam Breed," he grunted; "don't wanta see him. Don't like him. Sam Breed's a crook. Suppose I gotta see him," he went on resign- edly. "Wait till I get my hat and coat on. And suppose you stick round." As the girl admitted Mr. Breed Mr. Pemberton Forbes was busily tucking a muffler about his throat. "Hello, Sam," he said, placing an open box of cigars on the corner of his desk; "come in. Havva cigar." Mr. Sam Breed took a cigar and sat down uninvited. He was a very long, lanky, loose-jointed gentleman, this Mr. Breed, presenting a marked contrast to the stocky build and the bulldog countenance of Pemberton Forbes. Mr. Breed's nose, like Mr. Breed, was long and very knowing, and this feature, taken in conjunction with a cast in one eye, lent Mr. Breed an expression which was as sinister as it was marked and entertaining.
