"Some years ago you were the treasurer of the Mesa Building and Loan Association. When the association went out of business, its books showed a cash balance in the treasury. What became of the money?" Hallock sat as rigid as a carved figure flanking an Egyptian propylon, which his attitude suggested.
He held out a pudgy hand, and noting the fresh coat of sunburn on his visitor, he added: "Just come over the border?" "Further than that, Sir; from New York. I'm Kearn Thode. Perhaps Mr. Larkin mentioned me to you; Perry Larkin, of the Mexamer Oil Company." "To be sho'! I'm right glad to see you, Thode." Benjamin Hallock pumped his hand vigorously. "Been kinder expectin' you down in these parts.
He is able to fight his own battles. It comes nearer home, Mac. The treasurer was Hallock." McCloskey rose noiselessly, tiptoed to the door of communication with the outer office, and opened it with a quick jerk. There was no one there. "I thought I heard something," he said. "Didn't you think you did?" Lidgerwood shook his head.
Oh, it's a regular log cabin!" cried Bert, as he saw where they were to live during their stay in the lumber camp. "So this is to be our cabin, is it?" said Mr. Bobbsey as he got down and helped his wife, while the driver lifted out the children and then the baggage. "Yes, the boys fixed this up for you," answered Mr. Hallock. "We hope you'll like it." "I'm sure I shall," said Mrs.
At the first indication of an outbreak, he was to pass the word to Van Lew, who would immediately transfer the private-car party to the second-floor offices in the head-quarters building. "That is all," was Lidgerwood's summing up, when he had made his dispositions like a careful commander-in-chief; "all but one thing. Mac, have you seen anything of Hallock?"
I haven't found a man yet that I could trust to keep tab on him, and I don't know what he's doing; but I can guess." "Is that all?" said Lidgerwood quietly. "No, it isn't! That switch-engine dropped out two weeks ago last Tuesday night. I've been prying into this locked-up puzzle-box every way I could think of ever since. Hallock knows where that engine went!" "What makes you think so?"
He was expecting Hallock on that train, and was no doubt holding Cruikshanks. Your guesses prefigure Hallock failing to show up when the train stopped at Navajo, and make it necessary for him to explain to the two men who were waiting for him why he let Bradford carry him by so far that it took him several hours to walk back. You see how incredible it all is?"
It is related of the venerable Moses Hallock, that he educated in his own family, during his ministerial lifetime, three hundred young people, of whom thirty were females. One hundred and thirty-two of these he fitted for college; fifty became ministers, and six foreign missionaries.

"That foreman of ours sure is quick on his feet!" said Harvey Hallock, the driver who had brought the Bobbseys from the station. Mr. Hallock was speaking to Mr. Bobbsey, outside the log cabin. "Yes, Bill Dayton is sure a quick man," went on the driver. "Has he been foreman here long?" asked Mr. Bobbsey. "No, not very long," was the answer.
