Paddy Malone was to be foreman of the new cutting gang, many of Mr. Jallow's employes hiring out to Grace's father. The Jallows had gone back to Deepdale, as I have said, the case against Mr. Jallow being dropped. "See you later!" called the girls to the boys, as the latter prepared to go home in the auto ice boat.
The others you can buy as you need them. Now I guess that's all." "Is Mr. Jallow cutting any more trees?" "Yes, and I haven't succeeded in stopping him. There may be trouble of a legal kind only," he hastened to assure his daughter, who looked alarmed. "Don't worry.
"Do you know whom it looks like, Betty?" "No," said that young person, straining her eyes in the direction of the newcomers. "Who is it?" "I'm not sure but it looks like " Grace paused a moment, then said with conviction, "I'm right! It's Alice Jallow, and I don't like her very much. What is she doing in our crowd anyway?" "That's what I would like to know," growled Will.
The man stood sullenly watching them, while the dog growled deep in his throat. "Well, you had quite an adventure; eh?" asked Will when they were out of earshot of the man. "Yes, and I was so afraid something would happen," said Grace. "He came upon us so suddenly!" "Evidently Mr. Jallow means to contest this land business!" exclaimed Allen. "I should like to look into this matter myself.
"Come in," invited Betty, and soon the four were sitting together, while in a sort of dialogue Betty and Amy told the pathetic little story. "And that's how it stands," finished Betty. "I wanted to do something or say something to make Alice Jallow feel " "She should be punished we should all cut her she ought to be put out of school!" burst out the impulsive Mollie. "I shall go to Miss Greene "
Yes, I am that Paddy Malone," he went on in louder tones, "and I can prove your father's claim. I'm through with that Jallow crowd, now. Through with 'em! Get a doctor, girls, if you can, and I'll tell everything when I'm fixed up. I'll prove James Ford's lumber claim for him, and show those swindlers that they can't fool Paddy Malone! I'll show 'em!"
"No danger," remarked Will. "Is everything all right?" "Yes. All your stuff come; there's a lot of grub, plenty of wood, and all you've got to do is to enjoy yourself." "Has that fellow Jallow or any of his men made trouble?" Will asked, when the girls had gone on ahead. "Not much; no. I did catch one of 'em on our land the other day on land there's no question but what your father owns.
"Skate!" interrupted Mollie. "Why can't we skate there? It isn't so very far." "And drag our baggage and sandwiches along behind us on sleds?" asked Betty. "Too much work," declared Amy. "Let's hire a sled, get up a straw ride and go in style." "Oh, say, what about Mr. Jallow? Do you think he will make trouble up there?" inquired Amy, glancing rather apprehensively at Grace.
The dog growled, and looked up inquiringly at his master as though asking for orders. "We we know Mr. Jallow," went on Mollie. Then nudging Grace, she whispered: "Say something; can't you? This must be the piece your father is having trouble about. Say something." "I I don't know what to say," faltered Grace. "Oh, let's get away from here! That dog "
It sounds, from what Paddy Malone said, as if that Mr. Jallow had been up to some unfair tricks." "I shouldn't wonder," agreed Grace. "Oh, what a lot of things have happened up here!" "And more are going to, if I'm any judge. Your father will get his timber land back." "Oh, how glad I'll be!" The girls hurried on, hoping they would find the boys in their cabin.
