He is, therefore, getting a strong impression that you treat him with disrespect. This, I know, is a mistaken impression, and you must correct it. The way, I leave to yourself. Robert W. Canfield says he would like to have a document or two from you. "The Locos here are in considerable trouble about Van Buren's letter on Texas, and the Virginia electors.
But, above all," he continued, "don't fail to leave a light here at a shaft, and be careful that you never pass out of sight of it." Canfield hastened away, climbing the ladders two rungs at a time, and soon disappeared into the little dot of light at the top. The two boys searched patiently for the boat for a long time, but did not succeed in discovering it.
Lieutenant Canfield came forward, and placing one arm around her waist, and drawing her fervently to him, he said: "Oh! my dear Mary, I am so glad to see you again. Are you unharmed?" "Not a hair of my head has been injured. And how is my dear father and mother and sister Helen?"
The plain fact is, my success at the Stanleys', and the easy manner in which I had fallen in with Mr. Canfield, gave me so much confidence in myself as a sort of Master of the Road that I proceeded with altogether too much assurance.
Accordingly, Elmer strolled along the gangway and came to a halt some distance from where the three men had drawn up. "My boy" Carson went on, looking condescendingly at the youth, "will you kindly run up to the second level and tell Mr. Canfield that his presence is required by the president of the mining company?"
Is it possible to enter any of the benches or chambers connecting with the north gangway on the lower level by means of this deserted shaft?" "I am not quite certain about that," replied Canfield, "but my idea is that the north benches and chambers can be reached by means of that opening. I am glad you thought of that," he went on.
Canfield introduced the new-comer as the detective, Joe Ventner, of New York, and the boys greeted him courteously. He accepted their proffered hands with an air of condescension which was most exasperating. He puffed out his chest, and at once began talking of some of his alleged exploits in the secret service of the government. "How did you pass the night, boys?" ask Canfield.
We've got to know right off whether there's anyone in that chamber watching the boys!" "What a joke it would be to put on a ghost in Tunnel Six!" laughed Will in a decidedly cheerful frame of mind now that rescue seemed so near. "Don't try any foolishness!" advised Canfield. "Let's rescue the boys if possible and make our way out of this horrible place."
"Now I propose that we camp out in the breaker. There must be a cozy corner somewhere, under the chutes, or in back of a staircase, or away up under the roof, where we can camp out while we are going through the mine." "You won't find the old breaker a very comfortable place to live in," suggested Canfield.
But it looked pleasant and homelike, and the papers and books that were scattered about made it more attractive to a visitor than many showy city drawing rooms. "And how are all your children, Mr. Canfield?" asked Jefferson. "Maria is married to a worthy young man in the next town.
