It is high time that we return to Tom and Sam, and learn how the two Rover boys were faring in their unequal contest with Dan Baxter and his followers. As we know, it was Baxter himself who attacked Sam, while big Bill Harney threw Tom to the ground. Jasper Grinder went to Baxter's assistance, while Lemuel Husty ran to aid Harney.
Its formation is entirely conglomerate of rather a coarse description. Among its rugged overhanging steeps are many of the large red species of wallabie similar to those we had seen to the north at the Scott. Two of these we shot. The latitude of our camp at Baxter's range was 32 degrees 40 minutes S. September 16.
"I should have been gone these two hours myself only I happened to have an appointment with an American millionaire who fixed his own time." Something indistinguishable from a wink slid off Mr. Baxter's right eye. "Offmunson he's called, and a bright young pedigree-hunter has traced his descent from Offa, King of Mercia. So he quite naturally wants a set of Offas as a sort of collateral proof."
This last act of theirs, the hoisting of the banner, had been the culminating point; and, too indignant to sit with them at the same table, she resolutely kept her room throughout the entire day, poring intently over Baxter's "Saints' Rest," her favorite volume when at all flurried or excited.
Snow on this sudden change, but they were far from suspecting the real reason. Elsie continued to be as reticent as she had been of late; her school work was easier now that Josiah was no longer a pupil. Christmas was rather a failure.

Baxter's eyes gleamed with the hatred of an angry snake ready to strike. "You think you are smart, you Rover boys," said the bully, after an awkward pause all around.
Baxter's ankle and brought him down. And by the time explanations were made it was too late. The train had gone, with Miss Peters in it." "And a telegram has just arrived," said Lord Emsworth, "to say that they are being married this afternoon at a registrar's. The whole occurrence is most disturbing." "Bear it like a man, my boy!" urged Colonel Mant.
She stooped, and looked down at the spaniel's injured side brightened suddenly with the irradiation of a new idea and pointing to the wound with a chuckle of satisfaction, said, "That's Baxter's doings, that is." I was so exasperated that I could have boxed her ears. "Baxter?" I said. "Who is the brute you call Baxter?" The girl grinned again more cheerfully than ever. "Bless you, miss!
By the grace of God I will look after you, Richard. And the tiger would have been as good as his word had not an overpowering sense of shame compelled the other judges to protest and get Baxter's inhuman sentence commuted to fine and imprisonment. And so on, and so on.
"Bet is all right, Colonel Baxter. She's sound asleep now and seems comfortable. It's Kit we're worried about." Colonel Baxter's face looked relieved for a second, then he realized that if anything happened to Kit some other father would feel as he felt on that ride from the station.
