"Your treatment of Mammy Shrader is on a par with your other actions." "Shut up!" roared the other boy, and made a quick pass at Giant's head. But the small boy dodged and the fist struck Snap on the shoulder. The next instant Snap hauled off, struck out, and Carl Dudder measured his length in the snow.
"Think you're smart, don't you?" roared Ham Spink, striding into the camp and facing Shep and Snap. "Well, I want you to know that you have gone too far. You've got to pay damages, or we'll have you all locked up." "You've got to pay for my new suit of clothes," said Ike Akley. "It is utterly ruined." "And my sweater," said Dick Bush. "And I want to know where my shoes are?" put in Carl Dudder.
"Then some common thief must have come along and done it." Snap and his chums were much interested in what the rival campers had to relate, and questioned the two dudes closely. They could see that both Bush and Dudder were unusually ill at ease. "Well, all this doesn't help us any," said Shep. "It is going to storm and I want to get back to camp. Trot around that boat, or else lend us yours."
When Carl Dudder heard that a doctor had been called in to attend Mammy Shrader he was much frightened. He went to consult Ham Spink about it. The two were hand-in-glove in everything. "Are they sure you threw the snowball?" asked Ham Spink, pointedly. "They say they saw me." "Who says so?" "Oh, Snap Dodge and that crowd." "Always that crowd!" muttered Ham Spink.
"Don't say anything about the boathouse," whispered Ham Spink to Kiddy Leech, to which the tramp replied with a knowing wink of his bleery eye. "Have you been up to the Dodge camp?" questioned Carl Dudder. "Yes, and those chaps treated me shamefully," answered Kiddy Leech. "I never touched a thing they had, yet they accused me of trying to steal some of their traps." "Just like 'em," said Ham.
Give them a dose of buckshot!" "They are going to shoot us!" screamed Carl Dudder, and dodged down. Then he lost his footing on the wet and slippery rails, clutched at Ham to save himself, and both went down with a loud splash into the dirty water under the boathouse. "There they go!" cried Shep. "Let us scare them some more," whispered Snap. "Pretend you don't recognize them."
"Well, in that case, they had better stay away," grumbled Giant. Ham Spink and Carl Dudder came up slowly. To tell the truth, they were a bit afraid, thinking the others might jump on them and begin a fight, because of what had happened at the Fairview dock. "Hello!" said Ham presently. He did not know how else to start a conversation. "Hello yourself!" responded the doctor's son shortly.
"Most likely they came for the same purpose that we did -to get supplies." "Listen!" whispered the doctor's son. "I just heard somebody mention my name." "Their boat must be somewhere along here," they heard Ham Spink exclaim. "And if it is -We'll fix it, all right," finished Carl Dudder. "Well, that's all right," expostulated Dick Bush. "But we don't want to do anything unlawful.
Spink, the Dudder family, and a dozen specially invited guests. "Carl, isn't it about time you began to set off those fireworks?" asked Mr. Dudder, as his son came up the steps. "Ham and I are going to get them out right away," answered Carl. "Who set off the fireworks at the square?" questioned Mrs. Spink. "I don't know." "Were they nice?" asked Mrs. Dudder.
"Thin I'll be after explainin'," answered Samuel O'Brien, and gave his story in full, to which Mr. Dudder listened in a nervous fashion. Then Carl was called into the room. "What do you mean by making trouble in this fashion?" demanded Mr. Dudder wrathfully. "I didn't make trouble," said Carl, sullenly. "Sure an' he did that," said the Irishman. "Mr. O'Brien says you knocked Mrs. Shrader down."
