"That is true, Royce, but we want you to sign a confession as to just how that ring got in the inkwell. If you don't do that, the seminary authorities may still think it was placed there by Miss Laning." "Oh, I don't want to put nuthin' off on Miss Laning's shoulders," answered the former gardener. "If you want a confession from me so as you can clear her, go ahead!"
I wish he would take me out with him some time." "Always drives alone. Reckon it kind of quiets him, after a noisy time with the boy." "I suppose." They were soon on the way, which led out of Cedarville and over a hill fronting the lake. "By the way, do you know where the farms belonging to Mr. Stanhope and to Mr. Laning are located?" asked Tom, when they were well out of the village. "Mr.
"The Golden Star looks like an old friend," remarked Dick, when they were seated on the front, upper deck, enjoying the refreshing breeze that was blowing. "I am never on this boat but what I think of our first meeting with Dan Baxter and with Dora Stanhope and Nellie and Grace Laning," came from Tom. "What an enemy Dan Baxter has been from that time on!"
"I am a pupil at Putnam Hall, and I have just spotted a fellow in this neighborhood who robbed my brother of a gold watch." "Is that so!" "Oh, papa, is it one of the boys Grace and I were telling you about?" came in the voice of Nellie Laning. "Aren't you Tom Rover?" "Yes. This must be Mr. Laning." "Yes, my boy, I am John Laning," answered the farmer. "I will be down in a moment.
"I don't want any reward, Miss Harrow. What I did anybody could have done." "Perhaps, but " And now the teacher stopped short, for the first time noticing Nellie's presence. "What do you want here, Miss Laning?" she demanded, stiffly. "I came in with Mr. Rover; he wanted me to come," was the answer. And as the teacher continued to glare at her, Nellie clung tightly to Tom's arm.
For the most of the time Mrs. Stanhope and Mrs. Laning did fancywork. "Captain says there is a storm coming up," announced Sam, one evening. "Oh, dear! I hope it doesn't get very rough!" cried Mrs. Stanhope. "I detest a heavy storm at sea." "Well, mamma, we'll have to expect some storms," said Dora. "Oh, I shan't mind, if it doesn't thunder and lightning and blow too much."
"I I don't understand " stammered Miss Harrow. She was evidently much surprised. "It's this way, Miss Harrow." answered Tom, with his usual bluntness. "Miss Laning and I have been friends for a great many years. The fact is, we hope that is, I hope" and now Tom looked a bit confused "we'll be married before a great while.
The more the Rover boys talked about the treasure hunt the more enthusiastic they became, until, as Tom expressed it, they were "simply boiling over with enthusiasm." "It will be a grand thing for the Stanhopes and the Lanings if we do locate that treasure," said Sam. "Mr. Laning has some money, but I know he'd like more, so he wouldn't have to farm quite so hard."
He proved to be a tall, powerful built lumberman, with a well-tanned face and sharp, but kindly, eyes. "How do you do," he said, as he shook hands. "Real glad to know you. Yes, I got a letter from John Laning, my brother-in-law, tellin' me all about you. He says as how you want a guide fer these parts.
Dick also spent an hour in penning a long letter to Dora Stanhope, who, as my old readers are well aware, was his dearest girl friend. Dora and her mother lived not far from Putnam Hall, and Dick and his brothers had become acquainted with her and her two cousins, Nellie and Grace Laning, when they had first gone to school. The Rover boys had on several occasions saved Mrs.
