"That's reasonable enough," agreed Hinman, with a quick nod, "but what I can't understand is how he made these reproductions." Godfrey sat down again and contemplated the glove pensively for some moments. Then he turned to me. "Where is that book of finger-prints you spoke about, Lester?" he asked. I went to the book-case and got it out. Godfrey took it and began to turn the pages quickly.
"I'm very sorry if I seemed too much amused," Tom apologized earnestly, "but that letter, apart from its meaning to you, really is funny." "I -I suppose so," assented Reuben Hinman sighing, and the far-away look returning to his eyes. "But I -I need the money!" "And both of us hope that you will get it, sir, the whole of your half," said Dick Prescott heartily.
"I could put him under guard, of course," said Goldberger, pensively, "for I'm sure he'll prove to be a very important witness; but if you will be personally responsible for him, Mr. Lester...." "I will," I agreed, and Goldberger nodded. "Have him here at ten o'clock, then," he said. "Dr. Hinman would better see him again to-day," I suggested.
Occasionally the "Nigger 'Lection" had a deep political signification and influence. "Scaeva," in his "Hartford in the Olden Times," and Hinman, in the "American Revolution," give detailed and interesting accounts of "Nigger 'Lection." A few rather sickly and benumbed attempts were made in bleak New England to celebrate in old English fashion the first of May.
Dick inquired. "Just heard, at the post-office," Hinman answered. "My father had a very bad day yesterday. Er -in fact, the chances, I am sorry to say, appear to be very much against his recovery." "He must feel the strain of his father's illness," observed Dave sarcastically. "He does!" retorted Mr. Hartshorn, with emphasis. "If old Reuben dies young Timothy must go to work for a living.
There's one thing I don't understand, though," he added, after a moment. "Where did that blood come from?" and he pointed to the dark spots on the collar of the white robe. Hinman looked up with a little exclamation. "I forgot," he said. "Did you find the handkerchief? No, I see you didn't," and he pointed to where it lay on the floor. "I noticed it when I first looked at the body."
Yet, though Reuben Hinman isn't a fool in anything else, he is very proud of the fact that his son is a 'gentleman, and that his daughters are 'ladies. Now, in a nutshell, you know the tragedy of the old man's life. Young Tim Hinman would, if he could, take the old man's money away from him at once and let him go to the hospital as a charity patient."
They found the restaurant without difficulty, and also succeeded in hiring two cots in an upstairs room over the restaurant. "Reuben Hinman is becoming a good deal of a puzzle to me," murmured Dave Darrin, as the chums ate their breakfast. "He's almost a man of mystery," agreed Dick, "though not quite, except to us. I imagine that these Fenton people know all about our peddler friend."
"Hinman, your father will be some time at the hospital, and he will want to be able to pay his bills there. He will also want to be able to purchase some comforts for himself while convalescing. So your father will take his money with him to the hospital." "He can turn it over to me, if he has a mind to do so," insisted the younger man.
I urge you to come to our camp, and there spend the night with boys who know how to take care of themselves, and who can look after you at need. You will not be attacked in our camp." Reuben Hinman eagerly agreeing, Dave harnessed the bony horse into the wagon. After a while the red wagon rested within the confines of the camp of Dick & Co.
