But Sobber wouldn't listen to this, and went off declaring he would have it all. "'Since that time Martin Snodd has been busy, and he has obtained a temporary injunction against the Stanhopes and the Lanings, so that they cannot touch a dollar of the money, which, as you know, is now in several banks.
You see," he explained, "Minnie keeps house for me has ever since my wife died, three years ago." The boys gazed at the distant seminary buildings with interest, and as they did so Dick thought of Dora Stanhope and Tom and Sam remembered the Lanings. All thought how jolly it would be to live so close together during the college term. "Now we've got only two miles more," said Mr.
"I I guess I understand you!" And then all went in to dinner. There was a great deal to tell on all sides, and the dinner lasted over an hour. The Stanhopes and the Lanings had had a grand time while at Santa Barbara and the widow was much improved in health, so much so, in fact, that she was now practically a well woman.
On that day Frank Harrington received a letter from his father, in which the senator stated that nothing more had been heard of the men who had looted Rush & Wilder's safe. "I fancy they have left the State, if not the country," was Mr. Harrington's comment. The three Rover boys got off the next day and took a walk past the cottages where resided the Lanings and the Stanhopes.
"A telegram for Richard Rover," said one of the teachers to the boys a few days later. "Wonder what's up now?" mused Dick as he tore open the yellow envelope. He read the slip inside. "Hurrah! This is the best news yet!" he cried. "What is it?" asked Tom and Sam. "The injunction against the Stanhopes and the Lanings is dissolved by the court. They can keep the fortune.
"That settles it," said Dick. "I know the Lanings will do what is right by us, so we may as well get ready to start at once. Are you willing, father?" "Yes, Dick," was the answer. "But be sure and keep out of danger, and keep Tom and Sam out, too." Three days later found the Rover boys in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.
The Rover boys went to the depot to meet the train which was to bring in the Stanhopes and the Lanings. There was a little delay, but it was soon over and they were shaking hands warmly all around. "It seems so delightful to go off on another trip!" said Dora, to Dick. "I know I am going to enjoy it very much!"
"He couldn't get hold of it excepting on an order from those to whom it belongs." "And they'll never give him any such order," added Tom. "Do you suppose he was going to see the Stanhopes and the Lanings?" questioned the oldest Rover anxiously.
"They can't touch a cent until the courts decide who the fortune really belongs to," answered Dick, "and if Sobber should win, the Stanhopes and the Lanings will have to pay back that which they have already used." "Oh, how can Sobber win?" cried Tom. "Father said the Stanhope and Laning claims were perfectly legal." "True, Tom; but you can never tell how a case is going to turn out in court.
"We don't know," answered several of the cadets, and Josiah Crabtree hobbled back to find out... The shades of night had long fallen when Mrs. Stanhope was conveyed to her home, and a doctor was brought from Cedarville and the Lanings were informed of what had happened.
