Meals were brought in from the hotel, which made it very pleasant. When the three boys drove up in a carriage from the depot, three girls came rushing out to greet them. The three were Dora Stanhope and her two cousins, Nellie and Grace Laning. "So here you are at last!" cried Dora Stanhope, as she gave Dick's hand a tight squeeze.
"And how are you, Grace?" came from Sam, as he, too, left the automobile. "Oh, Sam, I am so glad you have come!" cried Grace Laning. "Nellie and I have been waiting for you." "Well, we are glad we are here. We have had quite an adventure to-night." "Oh, did you have a breakdown?" questioned Grace, anxiously. "No, but we had to go to the rescue of a fellow who ran into the river." "Oh, dear!
"Only I want it understood that Miss Laning is to be treated with the consideration she deserves. Otherwise I may suggest to her father that she be taken away from this institution and a suit for damages be instituted." "Oh, no! Not that! Not that!" came from Miss Harrow, and now she was plainly much frightened. "I did not accuse Miss Laning of anything, and I do not accuse her now.
"I've got to! That is all there is to it." He repeated the words over and over again. "What will Mrs. Laning and Mrs. Stanhope say, and Grace?" Again he went on, but this time slower than before, looking to the right and the left and ahead. Not a soul was in sight. The road was so cut up he could make nothing of the hoofmarks which presented themselves.
You mustn't drive down here, for the bridge is down." "Bridge down!" ejaculated John Laning. "Darwell said he was going to mend it this week, but I saw no sign up at the cross-roads." "Neither did we, and we came near to going overboard. As it is, we had a pretty bad smash up!" "Indeed!" came from Mrs. Stanhope, in alarm. "And was anybody hurt?"
Who calls?" came a cry from the shore, and, looking up, they saw Dora standing there, with Nellie and Grace Laning close beside her. "It's Tom and Sam!" cried Nellie. "And Captain Blossom," added Grace. "Perhaps we can throw them a rope," came from Dora, and she ran to get the article she had mentioned.
"I wonder how Nellie and Grace Laning like this?" "I'll wager you've been thinking of Nellie all the way up," said Dick slyly, remembering how his brother had tormented him about Dora Stanhope. "Couldn't think of anything but how cold it was," growled Tom, but his face took on a sudden redness. "Where do you go next?" he demanded, to change the subject. "Let's go over to the store and ask for Mr.
"We do very well," answered Dom Stanhope. "It is less than quarter of a mile away from our farm." "And it is quite near to our place too," added Nellie Laning. "Then perhaps we'll see more of each other," remarked Fred Garrison. "Perhaps; but isn't Captain Putnam rather strict about letting you boys out?" questioned, Dora. "We don't know yet we are newcomers." "Newcomers!" cried Nellie.
Stanhope came to me for advice concerning this matter. Mr. Laning had told her everything, and she wanted to know if it would be worth while to organize an expedition to hunt for the treasure. I said I would look into the matter and ask her to give me what papers Mr. Stanhope had left in reference to the affair. I started to hunt up Bahama Jack and Doranez.
All of the Rovers had come up to Cedarville and they were now stopping at the home of Mr. Laning, the father of Grace and Nellie. As my old readers know, the Stanhopes lived but a short distance away, and nearby was Putnam Hall, where the boys had spent so many happy days.
