"If that's the case, he had better keep his distance," said Dick determinedly. "I don't want any quarrels, but I despise a bully thoroughly." "So do I." "I wonder if this Flipflap ever heard of Dan Baxter," put in Tom. "If he has he ought to profit by the example." "Hullo, Tom's got a new name for Flapp," said one of the boys. "Isn't his name Flipflap?" questioned Tom innocently.
But two days later Flapp, Rockley, and Pender got permission to go to the village of Oakville, two miles distant, one to buy some corn salve he said he wanted and the others to do a little trading. The boys had collected nine dollars from various members of their crowd and this was to be spent for liquor, cigars, and for several packs of cards.
"Nigh on to thirty-five dollars," answered Aaron Fairchild. "How much did you lose altogether? "About a hundred an' sixty dollars' worth." "Then the real thief kept about a hundred and twenty-five dollars' worth for himself," said Tom. "There can be no doubt but that one of our enemies did this," said Sam. "The question is, which one?" "Perhaps Dan Baxter or Lew Flapp," suggested Dick.
Having passed up one street for a block, Baxter and Flapp made a turn and pursued their course down a thoroughfare running parallel to the river. Here were located a number of factories and mills, with several tenement houses and low groggeries between. "They are after us yet," panted Flapp, after running for several minutes. "Say, I can't keep this up much longer."
"I'll remember, sir," answered Lew Flapp meekly, and then left the office and ran up to his dormitory, to bathe his nose and put witch-hazel on his hurts. Although outwardly humble he was in reality burning with rage. "I'll have to be careful in the future," he told himself, with clenched fists. "But I'll get square oh, I'll get square!" "Hullo, hurt yourself?" asked Pender, as he came in.
He had gained from Link Smith just the information he desired, namely, the location of the Rover boys' sleeping quarters. He looked back, to make certain that Link was not watching him, and then hurried on to where the Rovers rested, totally unconscious of the proximity of their enemy. "I'll show them what I can do," muttered Lew Flapp to himself. "I'll make them wish they had never been born!"
"Oh!" he howled and dropped the chain. "Tom Rover, I'll get even for that, mind that!" "What do you mean by attacking Harry Moss in such a disgraceful fashion?" "Because he's a sneak, and you know it." "I know nothing of the kind." "Didn't he go and blab on me to Captain Putnam?" "About what?" Lew Flapp paused and eyed Tom and Sam curiously. "I reckon you know well enough," he remarked slowly.
"I'll give you this!" answered Dora, and pushed the door shut in his face. There happened to be a bolt on the inside and she quickly shoved it into place. "Just you wait I'll get square on you!" growled Lew Flapp, from the outside, and then they heard him stamp off, very much out of sorts. Fortunately for the girls, the breakfast brought to them was quite fair and there was plenty of it.
"Lew Flapp stepped on my right foot, and he did it just as hard as he could," said Dick. "I I didn't," growled Flapp. "I say you did and what is more, I think you did it on purpose." "He did it to lame you, so you couldn't jump against Pender," came from Tom. "Flapp, did you step on Rover's foot on purpose?" demanded George Strong. "No, sir didn't step on it at all." "It is very strange.
"What do you mean?" questioned Flapp, with a shiver, although he knew well enough. "Maybe Sam Rover was drowned." "Oh, don't say that!" "Bah! Don't be chicken-hearted, Flapp." "I I didn't mean to to kill him." "I know you didn't. Just the same that is a dangerous river. The current is swift and it's full of rocks." "You're making me feel very uncomfortable." "Oh, don't worry.
