"We almost made up our mind you had missed the train," said Nellie Laning to Tom, giving him a bright smile as she spoke. "How fine you are looking," said Grace to Sam. "Traveling must agree with you." "Traveling does agree with us," said Sam. "We would have been here sooner, only we stopped to talk to an old schoolmate," said Dick, and then he told about Bob Sutter.
A cheer went up when it was found that Tom was safe once more, and Nellie Laning could not resist rushing forward and catching the wet youth in her arms. Tom was so exhausted he dropped on the nearest seat, and it was several minutes before he had recovered strength enough to speak. "I would have been drowned had it not been for that rope," he said when questioned.
"Thought I would tell you that Captain Putnam just drove down the Hall road on his way to the school," he announced. "Then I'll get back at once," said Tom, and bade the various members of the family good-by. Hope we meet again soon," he whispered to the girls, and this made both blush. Mr. Laning would have driven the lad to the academy, but Tom declined the offer and set off on foot.
Well, after the girls left for Hope Seminary, Sobber and a lawyer named Martin Snodd called upon Mr. Laning and then upon me. Sobber was very bitter, and he wanted to know all about what had been done with the treasure. He claims that he and his uncle, who is dead, were robbed of the boxes.
"Where is Dora going?" "To a place called Hope Seminary. Her mother knows the lady who is the principal." "Well, if it's a good place, I reckon the gals can go too. But it will be terrible lonesome here without 'em." "I know, John, but we want the girls to be somebody, now they have money, don't we?" "Sure we do," answered Mr. Laning readily.
Pour on one-third of the milk, let it boil up and thicken, then add slowly the rest of the milk. It should be free from lumps before you put in the last of the milk. Let it boil a little, then add the pepper and salt; also a tablespoonful of lemon juice and a little celery salt. From MRS. ISABELLA LANING CANDEE, of Illinois, Alternate Lady Manager. This amusing and appetizing dish is easily made.
"I haven't forgot that." Vick and Tom remained until it was quite late, and then almost ran back to the Hall, for the captain had told them not to be out after eleven o'clock. For several days matters ran smoothly at the Hall. Then came Josiah Crabtree's trial, and all of the Rover boys went to the county seat, to remain several days. With them went Dora and her uncle, John Laning.
Let's write to Mr. Laning." This was agreed to, and a special trip was made to the village by Aleck Pop to post the letter. In the letter they asked Mr. Laning to telegraph, if possible, in reply. The telegram came shortly after noon the next day. It ran as follows: "I feel sure my brother-in-law, John Barrow, of Timber Run, can supply a reliable guide. Will write to him.
He turned, to see Sam, Dora and the Laning girls only a few seats away. Dora was looking fully at Minnie Sanderson with wide open eyes and a flush mounting to her cheeks. "Oh, so you've arrived!" cried Dick cheerily, but his voice had a catch in it. Somehow he felt guilty, he could not tell why. "Yes, here we are," answered Nellie. "And what a crowd!" added Grace. Dora said not a word.
Saturday proved clear and warm, and the Rovers and their friends started directly after lunch for Rushville in a two-seated carriage, hired from a liveryman of Ashton.
