"Snap just made three bull's-eyes!" cried Shep Red. "Made them as easily as pie, too." "And what did you make?" "Made one bull's-eye and two inner rings. Are you going to try your luck, Giant?" "Humph! -I don't think I can hit the back of the building unless they move it up to me," answered Will Caslette.
Supper was soon served. It consisted of bread and butter and coffee and pickerel done to a turn, topped off with some crullers from a bagful donated by Mrs. Caslette. The boys took their time eating, and when they had finished the bones of the fish were picked clean.
This is Frank Dawson, and the boy out in the boat is Will Caslette. We all belong at Fairview. As Snap -I mean Charley -says, we came to camp out. We have always understood that this was a free camping-out place. Folks have come to this lake for years." "Well, they are not coming here any more!" cried Andrew Felps. "After this those who come will pay for the privilege."
"I do not understand how I came to run away." Later on he spoke of the fortune that was coming to Mrs. Caslette and himself. He remembered all the details, and through the efforts of a lawyer the hundred thousand francs at last came into possession of the rightful owners. The bringing in of the big bear by the boy hunters caused something of a sensation in Fairview.
Do you not remember my mother, Kate Caslette, and do you not remember me -your little Guillaume, the boy you used to ride on your knee?" went on Giant, earnestly and looking the man straight in the eyes. "Yes! yes! I remember now!" cried the man, and now his eyes searched the small youth's face. "You are my little Guillaume indeed!" He took Giant by the hand.
Snap and Shep were caught, front and back, and several blows were quickly exchanged. It was an uneven contest, and the doctor's son and his chum might have fared badly had not a sudden cry rang out: "Look at that, Giant! They are trying to maul Snap and Shep!" The cry came from Whopper. "Let up there!" added Will Caslette.
The smallest lad of the four was Will Caslette, always called Billy or Giant. He was the son of a widow lady, who owned a small but neat cottage on one of the side streets of the town. Mrs. Caslette thought the world of her offspring and Giant was fully worthy of the affection she bestowed upon him.
The young hunters soon saw that Pierre Dunrot's mind was very hazy on some matters while clear on others. Since running away from the Caslette home he had lived in the mountains near the lake and he had taken every precaution to keep other folks away from him.
When the boys got home they had quite a story to tell. Mrs. Caslette was much alarmed over the injuries her son had received and insisted upon it that Giant let Dr. Reed attend him, which the physician did willingly. "Not much damaged," said the doctor. "But he had what folks call a close shave." The boys told the doctor about what they had learned from Mr.
The new cameras and supplies had come in on Saturday night, and on Monday morning the boys received a new tent from Dr. Reed, and a tarpaulin from Mr. Dodge. Mr. Dawson gave the boys some blankets, and Mrs. Caslette promised to supply them with a hamper of table delicacies. "With so many good things we'll have a better time than ever before," said Snap.
