The old man had slouched closer and had settled himself beside his son, his hand on the outcast's knee. Thayor's voice broke the silence. "Where are these men you ran across, Dinsmore?" he asked abruptly, a ring of determination in his voice. "'Bout eight mile from here, I figger it in a holler southeast of Alder Swamp," answered the hide-out, returning to a sense of his surroundings.
And I don't think you have Ross fooled either." "Never mind that now!" said Brett irritably. "We've got to line things up for the race. Listen! Ross left Luna City this morning for the hide-out. Here's what I want you to do.
But he would have been still more shocked had he seen what poor amateurish preparations for the coming winter another young tenderfoot had been making. If he had seen the place which Jack Corey had chosen for his winter hide-out I think he would have taken a fit; and if he had seen the little pile of food which Jack referred to pridefully as his grubstake I don't know what he would have done.
"Keep straight on over that thar hemlock ridge," whispered the hide-out; "they're in the holler on t'other side." He held out his hand to Thayor, pointed again in the direction he had indicated, and disappeared as easily as a partridge. Sam Thayor went on alone. It was a day of dreary anxiety to those who awaited his return. The trapper blamed himself for having allowed him to go.
I'll take you through my hide-out to the creek. I told your friends you'd meet 'em there, and we want to get there by the time they arrive." "Oh, Jerry! that's a long way off," cried Ruth. "Not so very long by the way we'll travel," he returned, with a laugh. And this proved to be true. Jerry lighted a battered oil lantern and with his rifle in the other hand led the way.
The trapper and the others, followed by Holcomb and Margaret, moved toward the camp, the torches illumining their faces. No one saw the hide-out. He was there within touching distance, but he moved only in the shadows. Alice opened her eyes and clasped both her arms around her husband's neck. "Oh, Sam! tell me it is you and you are safe, and nothing has happened? Oh! Sam I have been so wretched!"
"I hope that poor fellow has some way of making a fire in his hide-out." They began to retrace their steps. Instead of following exactly the same path they had used in climbing to the summit, Tom struck off at an angle, believing he saw an easier way. His companions followed him in single file. Ruth happened to be the last of all to come down the smooth slope.
Even as Elmer, and his chums as well, looked, a figure burst out, quickly followed by a second, a third, and then still more, until in all there were six in the queer procession that seemed to be heading directly for the late hide-out of the swamp fugitives. What startled the boys most of all was the fact that they knew several of those who went to make up that strange company.
"This" and he opened the wisp of paper the hide-out had given him and laid it on the table. "There's strychnine enough in that to kill a dozen horses. This was found under Bergstein's mattress the rest of it is in the gray horse's stomach." Then had followed the sum of his discoveries in which, however, no mention was made of the hide-out's help.
Cobber, I already own a joint there a nice one, they tell me. Lights. Two water closets. Big rooms, six-by-ten fifty of them, big enough for whole families. And strictly on the level, cobber. It's no hide-out, like this." He rolled the money in his greasy fingers. "Now, with what I get from the pusher, I can buy off that hot spot on the police blotter.
