At these words Lew Flapp winced, for he knew that Dan Baxter spoke the truth. He was afraid to go home, and had come to Hacknack simply because he knew not where else to go and because Baxter had promised him some money. The amount he had realized on the sale of the stolen jewelry had been spent. "See here, what's the use of talking that way?" he grumbled. "I didn't come here to get a lecture."
But then a new fear took possession of him and off he ran, this time harder than ever. His course was along the river bank for a distance of a hundred yards, and then he came out on a road leading to a small place called Hacknack. "To Hacknack!" he muttered, after reading a signboard. "That's the place I'm looking for. One mile, eh? Well, I had better lose no time in getting there."
He was tall and lanky as of old, with a sour look on his face and several scars which made him particularly repulsive. "I had almost given you up." "I've had my own troubles getting here," answered Flapp. "At first I couldn't locate Hacknack and then I had the misfortune to fall in with Sam Rover" "Sam Rover! Is he on your track now?"
