There were trunks to be looked after, but the checks for these were turned over to Aleck, and the colored man saw to it that all the baggage was properly transferred to the steam yacht. It was with not a little pride that the boys took the Stanhopes and the Lanings aboard the Rainbow, for, although they did not own the elegant craft it was something to even have her under charter. Mr.
A delegation of students from Brill including William Philander Tubbs had also come up, and were quartered at the Cedarville Hotel. The wedding was to take place at the Cedarville Union Church, a quaint little stone edifice, covered with ivy, which the Stanhopes and the Lanings both attended and which the Rover boys had often visited while they were cadets at Putnam Hall.
Stanhope died he left most of his property to Mrs. Stanhope and Dora the majority to Dora but a small share was left to the Lanings, they being so closely related and such good friends." "But what is it all about?" asked Tom, impatiently. "As I said before, I must start at the beginning, or perhaps you won't understand at all. As you know, Mr. Stanhope died some years ago.
"Well, we'll do it even if we have to get a larger apartment." It had been decided that the wedding should take place in the Cedarville Union Church a little stone edifice where Dick and Dora had been married, and which for years had been the church home of the Lanings and the Stanhopes.
She told of how Sobber had argued, and she said he had affirmed that the Rovers had falsified matters so that the Stanhopes and the Lanings might benefit thereby. "What he says is absolutely untrue," said Dick. "Father went over those papers with care, and so did the lawyers, and the treasure belongs to you and the Lanings, and to nobody else."
By the end of the week word was received from both the Stanhopes and the Lanings that all would be glad to join the Rovers in their houseboat vacation. They would take a train for Pittsburg direct on the following Wednesday morning and would there await their friends. "This suits me to a T!" cried Dick, after reading the communication Dora had sent him.
It can readily be imagined that the Stanhopes and Lanings awaited their coming with interest. "What success, Dick?" cried Dora eagerly. "Not so very much as yet," he answered, soberly, for he hated to disappoint the girl who was so dear to him. And then he told her of all that had happened. She shuddered when she found he had been a prisoner of Sid Merrick and his followers.
Sobber is wild and wicked. I was so afraid he would attack mamma and me I hardly knew what to do. And his eyes rolled so when he talked!" "Did he go to the Lanings?" "No." "Probably he was afraid of your uncle. Mr. Laning won't stand for any nonsense. I suppose your mother is afraid he'll come back?" "Yes; and to protect herself she has hired one of the farm men to sleep in the house.
He stayed there the rest of the evening, and the other teachers had to take charge." "What do they say about the matter?" "As soon as the captain got back all of 'em got in the private office and held a long talk. Then the captain had a talk with Mr. Grinder, and after that the captain sent me off to look for you. He said you must be at the Lanings, or at Mrs.
"Yes, it couldn't be better," added Sam. At this Dick winked. "Especially as we landed at the Lanings' home," he observed. "What a pity it wasn't Dora's home, too," drawled Tom, and then as Dick shied a shoe at him he turned over and dropped off into the land of dreams. Early the next morning they started for Putnam Hall, John Laning driving them thither in his sleigh. It was a ride they enjoyed.
