Chapter XVIII
Nick Carter was right as to Chick’s condition. He had seen at a glance that he was not dead. He quickly noticed, too, the sleeve drawn up above his right wrist, exposing part of the arm, and he immediately joined Patsy and pointed to a tiny puncture in the white skin. “He has been drugged,” said he, with an indignant ring in his subdued voice. “That’s the prick of a hypodermic needle.”
