If you'll make an even divvy of what you have found, or expect to find, we'll go away and let you alone. If you don't we'll take the whole outfit." "Take it, take it!" jeered Marquand. "You couldn't take it in a hundred years not unless you used artillery." "Then we'll starve you out," replied the man in the sage brush. "Look out!" warned the guide. Mr.
I can't help believing that those fellows were plotting to do some one a great injury." "So do I," agreed Chunky. "I guess we had better not say anything about it to the others, but we'll try to find out who this man Lasar is, and who Mr. Marquand is. Then we'll decide what to do next."
However, I am done with them, now, for good. They know that I have not put my information on paper, or else they might have made an end of me before this." "Is the treasure near this vicinity, Mr. Marquand?" asked Tad. "About two days' journey. I expect to find it at or near the ruins of an old Pueblo house. You know they built their homes one on top of another.
Marquand was pacing up and down the floor. Suddenly, forgetful of the danger that lurked out there, he poked his head out of the window. A sharp pat on the stone window frame beside him, after the bullet had snipped off the tip of his left ear, caused Mr. Marquand to draw back suddenly.
Among them, was the Mexican whom Tad had defeated in the tilting game a few days before. When all was over, the boys hoisted Tad Butler on their shoulders and marched around the adobe house shouting and singing.

He knew that Tad had some plan in mind and that it was likely to be a good one. "The rascals are all out in front of the house, aren't they?" "Yes, Master Tad.
They should begin with such books as Richard Muther's History of Modern Painting, John C. Van Dyke's Art for Art's Sake, Marquand and Frothingham's History of Sculpture, A.D.F. Hamlin's History of Architecture. They should take the business of guidance in this new world as a sacred trust, knowing they have the power to influence an enormous democracy.
The crack of a rifle afar off sounded clear and distinct. "He's made it. Thank heaven!" breathed Mr. Marquand fervently. Chunky leaped to the opening, swung his sombrero as he leaned out, and uttered a long, shrill "y-e-o-w!" A bullet chipped the adobe at his side. Stacy ducked, throwing himself on the floor, sucking a thumb energetically. "Wing you?" inquired Kris Kringle.
"Surely we understand," smiled Tad. "And you all have an interest in it you shall share the treasure with me " "No, we don't," shouted the boys. "We've had more than a million dollars worth of fun out of it already." "Certainly not," added the Professor. "We'll discuss that later," said Mr. Marquand firmly. "Just now we must take care of what we have found. Who will get the bags?"
