Dave Darrin and Dan Dalzell, a little later, secured nominations to Annapolis from the same gentlemen; and Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton, who had thrown their lot with civil engineering, had gone West to engage with an engineering firm of railroad builders.
"The lake will be between us and the trouble makers." It was rough going most of the way. Hazelton was disinclined to talk. Bayliss' nerves were too shattered for him to feel like indulging in conversation. Dodge, white-faced, his cap pulled well down over his eyes, showed all that he knew about running a car carefully and as speedily as was possible over such rough roads.
"Shut up your talk!" jeered Evarts roughly. "Don't try to give orders to the president of the company that hires and pays you." "Mr. Bascomb is the head of the company that employs me," Tom assented. "But I am in charge here, and am responsible, with Mr. Hazelton, for the good order of the camp and the success of the work.
"Yet this was a part of Hazelton's performance. He had charge here, and knew ever so much about it. Poor old Harry!" Behind them, at the beginning of the wall, a long, loud whistle sounded. In a moment fully a hundred of the workmen stood up, waved their caps and cheered as though they had gone mad. Coming forward, with long strides, was Harry Hazelton, in the flesh! Tom suddenly felt dizzy.
Then there arose a large cloud of smoke that for a moment hid the Hazelton from view. This was followed by a loud explosion. When the smoke cleared away, the water nearby was filled with struggling figures. "Lower the boats," shouted Jack. Instantly men sprang to obey the command, while others of the British tars still stood quietly behind their guns, their eyes scanning the sea.
"Oh, I hope they'll tend to the vines on the summerhouse, Rachel, and the pansies you don't think they'll let them run to seed, do you? Oh, dear!" And Tabitha sprang nervously to her feet and started backyto the house. Mr. Hazelton appeared the next morning with two men an architect and a landscape gardener.
At Dugout the surgeons amputated his wounded leg, and Eb finally wound up in prison. During all the excitement Hazelton had not been aroused. He knew nothing of what had happened until morning came. Before Tom Reade turned in that night he shook hands with the sullen cook. "I think you and I are going to be good friends, after this, Leon," Tom smiled. "I hope so, anyway."
The latter had assured the range boss that he appreciated the puncher's interest and would be glad to go over some of his poems. Therefore Hollis was not surprised when in the afternoon he saw Ace loping his pony down the Coyote trail toward the Hazelton cabin. Ace's approach was diffident, though ambition urged him on.
Reade, you and Hazelton are very young -mere cubs, in fact. Are you sure that you know all you owlet to know about leveling?" "Mr. Blaisdell, I'll answer you by saying, sir, that though Hazelton and I are nothing but cubs, we have the success of this railroad building game at heart. We're deeply in earnest. We'll work ourselves to our very bones in order to see this road get through in time.
Harry walked restlessly up and down the little office, but Tom threw himself down at full length on a cot in the corner. Within two minutes he was sound asleep. "Humph!" growled Hazelton, as soon as he saw his chum's unconcern. Then he went outside to finish his tramp. It was toward the close of the afternoon when Mr. Ellsworth returned.
