Don't you make fun of me!" bawled the dudish youth, turning wrathfully on our friends. "I hope the shooting was good, Ham," said Snap, drily. "Don't be afraid to bury yourself, Ham, if you feel like it!" added Shep. "I -I'll bury you!" stormed the unfortunate youth. "Oh, what a mess!" he groaned. "Dick, what shall I do?" "I don't know," was the answer. "Only please keep away from me.
"Now our boat is gone, I am going to claim yours until we get ours back." "That ain't fair!" cried Ham Spink. "It has got to be fair," answered Snap, stubbornly. "Most of our stores are gone, too," growled the dudish youth. "That isn't our fault." "Will you -er -will you sell us one of your deer?" faltered another of the crowd. "If you absolutely need it, yes; otherwise, no," said Shep.
That which interested him the most was a dudish young man, dressed in the extreme of fashion, carrying a heavy cane, and wearing eyeglasses. He had high cheek bones, fishy gray eyes, fine teeth, and a simpering smile. Tom judged he was a couple of years older than himself, and became interested in him because of his amusing efforts to charm the ladies around him.
"But I don't know a thing about pitching. In fact, I don't know much about baseball," pleaded the dudish student." "Oh, come now, Tubbs you can't fool me. Most likely you have been practicing in private, and when you come out on the diamond you will astonish everybody. Well, I am glad to know that Brill College is really to have a first-class pitcher at last.
Motley and picturesque even in their rags, one's pen utterly fails to convey a correct idea of their appearance; besides Servians, Bulgarians, and Turks, and the Greek priests who never fail of being on hand, now appear Roumanians, wearing huge sheep-skin busbies, with the long, ragged edges of the wool dangling about eyes and ears, or, in the case of a more "dudish " person, clipped around smooth at the brim, making the head-gear look like a small, round, thatched roof.
She commenced to make an inspection, holding the box close to a lamp. "Humph! Rubber bands, beans, slate pencils, and polishing wax!" she declared. "Mr. Tubbs, do you call this a box of candy?" "Upon my word, Mrs. Garlett, I " gasped the dudish student. He did not know how to finish. "It's just some old horrid joke!" declared Miss Ruggles, haughtily. "One of your college jokes, I presume!"
They were frequently joined by old Jed Sanborn, a trapper who lived in the mountains between the lakes. They had some trouble with Ham Spink, a dudish young man of the town, who established a rival camp not far off, and they came close to perishing during a disastrous forest fire.
The walk through the brushwood and over the rocks was not so pleasant, and all of the dudish boys were glad when they at last came in sight of the spot where their own camp was located. "It's growing awfully dark," said one. "And just listen to that wind! It's a regular gale!"
"Poor Tubbs, I wonder if he will ever be sensible and get over his dudish ways," was Dick's comment. "I doubt it for it seems to be born in him," returned Sam. "But he's a good sort with it all," ventured Stanley Browne. "First-rate," agreed Tom. "But I well, I simply can't help poking fun at him when he's around, he's such a dandy, and so lordly in his manner."
"Yes, you wish us a pile of luck!" burst out Ham Spink. "I rather guess you wish we wouldn't bring down a thing!" "No; I am not so mean, Ham. There is enough for all in these woods." "Bah! don't tell me!" snorted the dudish youth, and stalked off, followed by two of his cronies.
