"Roger, if it gets too bad, don't you hesitate to come to us!" cried Dave, quickly. "I am sure my father, and my Uncle Dunston, would be only too glad to help you out." "Thank you, Dave; but I don't think it will get to be as bad as that," answered the senator's son. And then the train came along and Dave had to bid his chum good-by.
Receiving something of a clew, he went on a long voyage, as related in "Dave Porter in the South Seas," and located his uncle, Dunston Porter, and learned for the first time that his father, David Breslow Porter, was also living, and likewise a sister, Laura. After his great trip on the ocean, our hero returned to Oak Hall, as related in "Dave Porter's Return to School."
"And so you will be rich after all, Roger!" cried Laura. "Yes, and I am very thankful," returned the senator's son, and then he took a long walk with Laura, while Dave paired off with Jessie, and Phil went with Belle. The young friends had a great deal to tell each other, and nobody thought of disturbing them. "Well, it certainly was some trip," said Phil, to Dunston Porter, Mrs.
Dunston, and the figure you mention was suggested; but I backed out of the proposition." "Why?" "Because your friend, Mr. Hare, thought he was responsible, in a sense, having introduced me to Dunston; so I let up on the idea, just to stop him from feeling bad about it." "You really meant to play in the first instance?" "Yes." "Well, it was very wicked of you.
The girls were up, too, and joined the lads at the breakfast table. Dave's father was there, and also Uncle Dunston, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Wadsworth. "Well, I certainly hope you all have a grand time," said the rich manufacturer. "And I hope the outing does Jessie good," said his wife.
"And you'll be sure to come to the ranch for us in about a month?" asked Laura. "Yes, unless some special business detains me, and then I'll wire when I can come," was the reply, and then the train rolled off, Dunston Porter standing at the end, waving the boys and girls adieu. "Now we have got to take care of ourselves," remarked the shipowner's son. "Girls, you don't feel afraid, do you?"
The famous divine of the Middle Ages, John Duns Scotus, was born in this parish that of Embleton; the group of buildings known as Dunston Hall, or Proctor's Steads, is supposed to have been his birthplace, and a portrait of the learned doctor is to be seen there.
Yet there was an agitated triumph in his voice that was not pleasant hearing for Dunston, who took the trick with the ace of hearts and led the lowest of a sequence to the queen. "Got him!" panted Hare, producing the king. The rest was easy. The vicar played a small spade and scored ninety-six points without any further risk. "It is magnificent; but it is not bridge," said the man from Pittsburg.
Before he was four hours in Maloja, Helen, in his hearing, had singled out the American for conjecture and scrutiny. Then Dunston spoke of the same man as an eager adversary at baccarat; but the promised game was arranged without Spencer's coöperation, greatly to Dunston's loss. A man did not act in such fashion without some motive. What was it?
"You've got him to thank for a good deal, Dave," remarked the senator's son, in low tones. "Yes, and I'll never forget Billy Dill," answered our hero, as he remembered how the old tar had helped him to find his Uncle Dunston, as related in detail in "Dave Porter in the South Seas." Mr.
