"Think you'll find it?" "Blower here says he will do what he can to discover it," broke in Job Haskers. "He has a great reputation as a prospector." "I will surely do my best for Maurice Harrison's nevvy," said Abe Blower. "Maurice Harrison was mighty good to me, an' I ain't the one to forgit that." "Have you a brother?" asked Tom Dillon, turning again to Merwell. "A brother?
"I axed the man where you was and he said you was visitin' his house and wanted to show him something you had in the case." "Do you know what I think?" exclaimed Dave. "I think this is the work of Link Merwell!" "Yes, and Job Haskers," added Phil. "They are working together." "But why did they steal my suit-case?" asked Roger. "Do you suppose ?" He stopped short, for strangers were about.
Should they show themselves and let the elderly gentleman know just what sort of a man Job Haskers was? "I guess we'd better take a hand " commenced Dave, when he paused as he saw the old gentleman shake his head. "I I don't think I'll do it to-night, Mr. Haskers," he said, slowly. "I I want to sleep on it. Come and see me again in the morning."
"Well, I don't think it will be for long," he said, as cheerfully as possible. "We'll soon join you in the Park." "I I wouldn't mind it so much if it was not for that Link Merwell and that old Haskers!" continued the girl. "Oh, Dave, you must be careful!" and she caught him by the arm.
Of course he had on a slouch hat, drawn down over his eyes, and an unusual suit of clothing, but I am pretty certain it was Merwell." "Then Haskers must be here, too. They travel together." Dave heaved a sigh. "It's too bad! I wish they were in China, or at the North Pole!"
"We don't want to see Job Haskers get the best of any one!" answered Phil, bluntly. "My opinion of it is, that he ought to be in jail." "I see, I see! Well, if he did what you say he did, I don't blame you." "I wouldn't sign for any stock until I had some outside advice about it," cautioned Mr. Passmore. "Why not wait until your son gets back?" he suggested. "I'll do it. Mr.
Say, Tom, what are you drivin' at?" demanded Abe Blower, in astonishment. "What I'm drivin' at is just this, Abe," answered Tom Dillon, and his voice grew suddenly stern. "This ain't Roger Morr at all. The real fellow you ain't met yet. This chap is a fraud!" "Say look here " began Link Merwell. "Is the er the other Morr er coming here?" faltered Job Haskers.
And then they continued to talk, while Staver dressed his wounded hand, which, fortunately for him, was not very badly hurt. Link Merwell caught Job Haskers by the arm and pulled him back. "I've got an idea!" he whispered, his eyes brightening with sudden expectation. "Why can't we join these men and go after the Morr crowd with them? It will give us a chance to get back at those fellows."
"We came out to locate that gold mine and we'll do it," said Merwell. "And I want you to be on hand, when the time comes, to attend to the legal end of it, so that we get our share. Of course, as I am wanted by the police, I can't appear, but you can, and you can, secretly, represent me." "All provided the lost mine is found," responded Job Haskers. He had plainly lost heart in the undertaking.
And he shook his fist in the former teacher's face. "Don't you touch me don't you dare!" howled Job Haskers, in new alarm, and he backed away so hastily that he tripped over some of the camp outfit and went flat on his back. The accident was such a comical one that Dave and his chums laughed outright, and Tom Dillon and Abe Blower grinned broadly.
