Frank was eager to have an enlarged copy of the lines made, for he felt that he could never be sure that he would not lose the ring, even though the mysterious man in black should be disposed of effectually. "Snell is determined to get himself into serious trouble," said Frank. "Oh, money will hire him to do any mean, sneaking thing!" came scornfully from Bart's lips.
They stepped on shore full of hope, not doubting that they would hear news of Tom. They had persuaded themselves that he had been picked up by some vessel which was coming down the bay, and had probably been put ashore here; in which case they knew that he would at once communicate with Bart's people. They even thought that Tom would be there to receive them.
Around the supports of this tank is fastened an unbleached cotton curtain, and when standing within and pulling a cord attached to an improvised spray, the contents of the barrel descend upon Bart's person with hygienic thoroughness, the only drawback being that twelve pails of water have to be carried up the short ladder that leads from floor to barrel top each time the shower is used.
"No, no, I will not be such a coward," cried the Doctor; and going boldly to the edge, he refrained from looking over, but turned and lowered himself down, passing out of Bart's sight; and when the latter crept to the edge and looked down, he could see a narrow ledge below with climbing plants and luxuriant shrubs, but no sight of the Doctor or his guide.

"If I can only get Christmas to go back the way he came, I feel I have found the right trail." Bart finally arose, and the dog, too.
All day he was "down town"; and in winter it was long after nightfall when she heard his fagged step on the stairs and his hand on the school-room door. He would kiss her in silence, and ask one or two questions of the nurse or the governess; then Mrs. Bart's maid would come to remind him that he was dining out, and he would hurry away with a nod to Lily.
Hardman will come back," suggested Fenn. "He may get lost in the woods." "I guess not," was Bart's opinion. "I think he knows these woods as well as we do." "Then what was his object in having us show him the road?" "Part of the general mystery," said Bart. "It's too deep for me. If Frank knows it, why perhaps he'll tell."
"Yes; this traveller's tale," said Bart's companion gruffly. "You needn't believe it without you like, but it's true all the same." "Well, I'll try and believe it," said Bart, laughing, "but I didn't know salmon were so stupid as that." "Stupid! they aren't stupid, my lad," replied Joses sharply.
