Then, when you thought you had got all the information you wanted, you followed us." "It's not true. You know it's a lie!" shouted the Professor. "Be careful how you nag me on," warned the miner. "You know you think nothing of the kind. What is it that you reckon to say at some other time?" "This," answered Darwood, tapping his holster significantly. Tad laughed softly to himself.
That the boy whom he had driven from his own camp should have thus turned the tables on him angered him almost beyond his control. Darwood was so angry that he failed to see any humor in the situation. "It is Mr. Darwood, isn't it?" cried the Professor with face aglow, striding forward with outstretched hand. As in Butler's case, Darwood professed not to see the proffered hand.
Anvik came in with the tools, surveying chains, and pans, and Darwood and the others staked off their claims, taking in enough to give each boy a claim, putting up heaps of stones to mark the boundaries. "Of course, if anyone else were to file a prior claim we'd have a hard time to substantiate ours. But there's not much danger."
"Yes, sir," answered Butler. Glancing around he found himself gazing into the face of Curtis Darwood. "Oh, how do you do, sir. Did I say anything?" "Well, there's a chance for a difference of opinion as to that," smiled the miner. "I have been enjoying the scenery, sir. Isn't it beautiful?" "You should see it at sunrise," answered Darwood.
Darwood from some place in the East. I don't believe I ever heard the name of the place, and if I knew the state I have forgotten it. Well, to make a long story short, the party was ambushed by the Kak-wan-tan Indians. Every man of the party was captured and all were put to death, with the exception of Dr. Darwood.
I am quite sure I shouldn't care to be the other fellow." "I don't know why we should get so excited over it," grumbled Ned. "Darwood and his companions are no friends of ours. I should say that quite the opposite is the case." "But they are real men, just the same," objected Tad. "I don't care whether they are friendly to us or not. Come on; let's get down."
"You are not consistent," laughed the freckle-faced boy. "You tell us you don't care where we go, then you order us to proceed in a definite direction. You are going too far, Mr. Darwood. When you have had a chance to cool down I think you will look at this matter in a different light.
"Yes, I fe feel as if I wa was turning to i i ice!" chattered the other. "The Darwood farmhouse is just over the hill, let us run to that," suggested Andy. "Here, put on my sweater!" and he stripped off the garment in an instant. "Do don't leave m me!" came from Coulter. He was on his knees, being too weak to rise to his feet. "I'll carry you on my back!" cried Pepper. "Come, take hold."
"So it will be an easy matter for Darwood to watch us as long as he wants to keep us in sight." At seven o'clock that morning Professor Zepplin gave the word to "mush." This morning the Professor was extremely silent, but there was a grim look to the corners of his mouth. Exciting experiences lay before them all. The boys felt it in the very air about them.
"I reckon, further, that if you know what's good for you you'll be mushing out of this as fast as your legs will carry you, unless you are looking for trouble. Git!" Tad gazed at the gold digger in amazement. "I I don't understand, Mr. Darwood." "Don't you understand plain English?
