"That has all been taken care of, fellows. Tour fathers, as well as mine, know all about it." "You don't mean it?" marveled Ned. "Yes." "Is Tad Butler going on that old skate of his?" bristled Chunky. "I can't say as to that," answered Walter. "Well, if he does, it's me for home. Why, we never would get beyoud the water works station, he would he so slow. Does my uncle know about Tad's old mare?"
Ab, confident that he had nothing to fear from the boys, had taken his station on a large boulder, from which position he was giving his orders to the Pony Riders. Tad, peering from behind the rock where he had taken refuge, saw an evil face, topped by a weather-worn sombrero, and, beyoud it, the figures of four other men whose faces he was unable to make out. "I say, will ye git?"
Yet, true to his promise, the boy made no effort to increase the speed of his mount. Nor did he go beyoud the corner named. Instead, he circled and came galloping back, one hand resting lightly on the rein, the other swinging easily at his side. As he neared the two boys, Tad checked his pony, but Walter motioned to him to continue.
The guide, before replying, assisted Ned back to his feet, leading him to a safe distance beyoud the dangerous precipice. "There's no doubt of it at all, Professor. He has left a trail as plain as a cougar's in winter. He must have stepped off the edge at the exact point where you saw me lying." "Then then you think you believe "
This led him directly over the range where they had been shooting earlier in the day, and the boy smiled with pride as he passed the target and counted up the bullet holes that his own rifle had made. He then pressed on, intending to enter the cedar forest that crowned a great ridge some distance beyoud him.
I think none of us know what they are, beyoud the fact that some sort of a trip has been planned for us. We are all ears, Mr. Perkins." Walter rose with great deliberation, a smile playing over his thin, pale features, as he looked quietly from one to the other of his young friends. "Fellow members," he began. "Hear, hear!" muttered Ned. Stacy Brown dug his heel into the floor for order.
Not a word had the Professor spoken since they left the camp, until observing a faint light in the sky some distance beyoud them, he asked the guide what it was. "That's the light from our camp fire. "We are getting near the place," he answered shortly. Professor Zepplin groaned.
"If they keep on at that gait, something surely will happen," decided Tad, being fully aware of the dangers that lay in the stretch of road between himself and the oncoming car. A few moments later he saw the car round the bend in the road just beyoud him.
"I will try," answered the driver. "But if I find I can't, I'll toot my horn, which will be the signal for you to stop." It was all the old mare could do to draw the heavy car over the slight rise of ground that lay just beyoud where the automobile had been stalled; yet, with the aid of the power of the car itself, they managed to make the hill all right.
"I think we'll walk a bit, Jimmie," he confided to the pony, and, taking the little animal by the bridle, began leading it cautiously up the slope, which he ascended by a roundabout course, remembering the jump they had taken on the way down. Tad was not likely to forget that. The boy's eyes were heavy for want of sleep and his wounds pained him beyoud words.
