And as the outfit faded into the southern distance, Harlan, walking near the larger of the two bunkhouses, came upon Linton. Harlan grinned when he saw the other. "You didn't go with the outfit, Red?" he said. "Seems a foreman ought to be mighty eager to be with his men on their first trip after he's appointed." Linton's face was pale, his gaze was direct. "Look here, Harlan," he said, steadily.

"Does the man think he owns the house?" said Drummond. "Where is he?" "Coming up now. I hear them. What are you going to do? Stop them?" "What do you think? Of course I am. I'm not going to have any of Appleby's crew coming into Seymour's and ragging studies." "This ought to be worth seeing," said Linton. "Look on me as 'Charles, his friend'. I'll help if you want me, but it's your scene."

"I am generally pretty cool. But I shall be rather surprised to see myself on the floor," laughed Luke. "No doubt others will be, but you'll have a great deal more fun." "So I shall.

"If that is the case, he is not the fellow we are in search of," answered Mr Norton. "A pirate would have his eyes about him." "Perhaps, as he is becalmed and cannot get away, he hopes, by apparent indifference to our approach, to deceive us as to his character," suggested Linton; "or he may have mistaken us for a merchantman, and expects to make a prize of us."

"Look around the room, Marjorie," observed Irma Linton in a guarded tone. "Do you miss anyone? Not Constance. I wonder where she is?" "I don't know." Marjorie's eyes took in the big room, then again sought the door. "She said she would meet me here this morning. Let me see. Do I miss anyone? Do you mean a girl in our class, Irma?" Irma nodded.
