"That's correct I saw him too," put in Giant, who had followed Snap. In the meantime Whopper had followed Shep, and both were doing what they could for the old woman. "See here, Snap Dodge, I don't want you to talk to me," blustered Carl Dudder. "I know my own business." "You ought to be knocked down for throwing at Mammy Shrader." "You can't knock me down!" growled Carl, doubling up his fists.
"That you take some letters home for us and deliver them as soon as you arrive." "All right, we'll do that," said Carl Dudder. The trade was made on the spot, and the letters written; and on the following morning Ham Spink and his cronies left the vicinity of Firefly Lake. It was the last our friends saw of the dudish youth and his friends for some time to come.
You can soak their firewood with water, hide their guns and provisions, and fix it so the snow will break in their roof and things like that." "Oh, don't you worry," declared Kiddy Leech. "I'll make it so uncomfortable for them that you'll see them back home in no time, mark my words." "And see that they don't bring any game with them either," said Carl Dudder.
"Capture him, fellows!" shouted Carl Dudder, and at once several of the Spink crowd fell upon Snap. But Snap was not to be made a prisoner thus easily, and hitting out with all his might he sent Jack Voss reeling to the ground. Then he hit Ike Akley in the nose. "Ouch!" yelled Ike, and put up his hand, to withdraw it covered with blood. "He has broken my nose!" And he fell back in alarm.
"A fight! a fight!" cried several boys, always ready for an affair of that sort. There was an awkward pause. Snap did not wish to fight, and yet he wanted Dudder to understand that he was not afraid. "I think I owe you something from last summer," said Dudder, coming closer and sticking his chin in Snap's face. "I haven't forgotten that."
I had nothing whatever to do with it." "Oh, yes, that's your story; but the circus people tell it differently," put in Carl Dudder. "I was talking to one of them only the other day. They'd give a good deal to catch you and those men." As he spoke he advanced toward Tommy as if to catch hold of the lad. The boy from the circus shrank back and looked very much alarmed.
"If ye was my b'y I'd be afther givin' ye a good walloppin', so I would!" he added pointedly. "I will go and see Mrs. Shrader," said Mr. Dudder. "Carl, you remain at home until I get back." "Can't I go over and see Ham?" "No." "I promised him that I would be over." "Well, you can't go. You study your lessons, unless you prefer to go with me to Mrs. Shrader's."
Spink and told to go elsewhere, which he did. In the meantime Mr. Spink and Mr. Dudder paid for all damages our friends had sustained, including the burning down of the log cabin, which the bad boys admitted, and promised to take Ham and Carl vigorously in hand.
"I want to talk to you two," he said, motioning to Carl and Ham. "We haven't any money for you," answered Ham. "You can't get a drink out of me," added Carl Dudder. "And by the way," he added suddenly. "You're the tramp my father fired out of our barn one night last week." "That's true," answered Kiddy Leech, calmly. "But he won't do it again."
"We'll have to lend you ours," said Dick Bush. "But -but " "But what?" "I -er -I can't tell you," answered Bush, and turned away. "Is there anything else wrong?" asked Giant. "Maybe you were over to our camp." "Were you?" asked Snap, catching Carl Dudder by the arm. "Let go!" "I want you to answer me, Dudder." "I wont answer!" "Then it is true." "What did you do at our camp?" asked Shep.
