"We'll take half of what you've got and pay you double price for it." "What!" came from Giant and Whopper, but Snap merely shook his head and winked at them, and then they said no more. "That's a fair deal, isn't it?" asked Giles Faswig, oilily. "You'll make a clean dollar and a half by the operation." "We don't want your money," said Snap, decidedly. "Eh?" came from both men.
"No, I don't want him talking to the likes of you." "He said you brought in a boat last night when he woke up," came from Whopper. "Was it our boat?" "None of your business!" snapped Giles Faswig, and as he spoke he took his nephew by the arm and turned him back into one of the tents. "Stay there, now mind!" he added, in a low, tense voice.
"There are four of us in our party, and if you have our boat, we can all testify to that fact. Three of us can stay here and watch you while the fourth goes for the officer." "Do you think we'd steal a measly rowboat?" asked Vance Lemon, but he glanced at Faswig as he spoke, and his tone was an uneasy one. "I don't know what you'd do.
"Good morning," returned Snap, briefly. Instinctively he felt that something unusual was in the air. "We've come to the conclusion to let you have half of that deer," said Vance Lemon. "Better keep it," said Giant, curtly. "That's just what I say," murmured Whopper." "No, boys, we want to do the fair thing," said Giles Faswig, smoothly. "As it was shot on Mr.
"Must have been hit before she came this way," said Giant. As the young hunters surrounded the game they did not notice the approach of three men on snow-shoes, all carrying guns and gamebags. The three men were Andrew Felps and two of his particular friends, Giles Faswig and Vance Lemon. "Hi! what are you doing here?" demanded Andrew Felps, striding up angrily.
"Come on and shove the boat out," said Snap. "We'll talk this over later." And before anybody could stop him he was in the craft and pushing out of the bushes. "Say look here " began Andrew Felps, but the boys paid no attention. All got on board the Snapper, and in a moment more the craft was out in the middle of the cove. "Don't you try to make any trouble for me!" shouted Giles Faswig.
"I simply found that boat adrift and brought her in here for safety." "And I don't believe a word you say," answered Snap. "I think you visited our camp and stole the boat." "And that is what I think," added Whopper. A wordy war followed lasting fully ten minutes. It was plainly to be seen that Giles Faswig and his companions were much disturbed, thinking the boys would make trouble for them.
"It's a good deal of our business," said Snap, "if it was our boat." "Come on and take a look around," added Whopper, and started for the other side of the cove, where a mass of brushwood and overhanging trees screened a portion of the water from view. Giles Faswig strode up to the two young hunters and caught Snap by the arm.
Just then a boy of eight or nine years of age came out of one of the tents, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "Uncle Giles," he said, walking up to Faswig, "where are we going to-day, and what are you going to do with that boat you brought in when I woke up last night?" Snap and Whopper listened to the words of the small boy with keen interest.
"They are just about mean enough." "No, they can't do that," answered Snap. "I made sure of it before I left home." "They are carrying something between them," said Whopper, as the men came closer. "Looks like a deer." "It is half of a deer the very deer we killed!" cried Giant. Soon the men were within speaking distance. "Good morning, boys," said Giles Faswig, blandly.
