I have been told about the diamond ring that is missing, and I know all about how you have treated Nellie. I don't like it at all. I think you are doing her a great injustice." "Oh!" The teacher paused abruptly and bit her lip. She glanced from Tom to Nellie and then to the others who were in the office. "I I have not accused Miss Laning of anything," she went on, rather lamely.
"He vos a rascals from his hair to his doenails alretty!" "The only thing to do is to make a search," came from Songbird Powell. "I'm ready to go out, rain or no rain." They were all ready, and in the end it was decided that all of the boys should prosecute the hunt, leaving Mrs. Stanhope, Mrs. Laning, and Grace with the wife of the proprietor of the stock farm.
"When Tom did his little act I saw Nellie Laning actually throw him a kiss from the grand stand. If she " "Hi, below there! Who's taking my name in vain?" came from Tom, and suddenly his head appeared at the top of one of the openings on the side of the stage. "I was just telling what Nellie Laning did, Tom. When you made that splendid kick "
Stanhope went ashore with Mrs. Laning, to visit the friend that had been mentioned. "Bring them down to the houseboat to-night, if they care to come," said Dick. "Thank you, Dick, perhaps we will," answered Mrs. Laning. "Let us take a swim while they are gone," suggested Tom. "That water is too inviting to resist."
The doctor said that a rib as well as the left arm had been fractured, and that the lady must be kept quiet for at least two months. At once Dora set about doing what she could for her mother, and Nellie Laning remained at the homestead to assist her. No one seemed to care about Josiah Crabtree, and he was allowed to hobble back to Putnam Hall on foot.
"You did me a great service and I shall not forget it. If I have done Miss Laning an injustice, I am very sorry for it." And having thus spoken, she turned back and sank down on a couch. Tom and Nellie left and hurried to the campus, where they were speedily rejoined by Sam and Grace. "How did you make out?" asked the younger Rover. And then Tom gave the particulars of what had occurred.
"I wish I had a couple of sisters." "You have your two cousins, Nellie and Grace." "Yes, but they are not as intimate as sisters would be although they are the best of cousins." "What does Mr. Laning say, of Crabtree?" Dick whispered, as the nurse left the room for a moment. "Uncle does not like him, but he says the whole matter is none of his affair and mother must do as she thinks best."
It may be mentioned here that Dick thought Dora Stanhope the sweetest girl in the world, and Tom and Sam were equally smitten with Nellie and Grace Laning. Being cast away on the Pacific was productive of additional adventures and surprises. On a ship that picked the girls and boys up they fell in again with Dan Baxter, and he did all in his power to make trouble for them.
"They're awfully sweet," thought the boy, "these two, and Dora too." He slept soundly, and did not arise until after seven. On coming below he found a hot breakfast awaiting him, to which it is perhaps needless to state he did full justice. While he was talking to the girls, and finishing up at the same time, Mr. Laning came in.
"In the first place, you are not going to work so hard and in the next place the girls are going to have a better education." "Well, I'm not afraid of work," answered the farmer. "About eddication, if they want it well, it's their money and they can have all the learnin' they want." "Dora is going to a boarding school and Nellie and Grace want to go with her," went on Mrs. Laning.
