"Thank you very much," said the tramp, and followed through the doorway. Then Aaron Masterson noticed Snap with the shotgun. "Hullo, how did you git out there?" he cried. Kiddy Leech turned swiftly and he started on beholding the young hunter. "Wha what do you want?" he stammered. "Go on in, Leech," answered the leader of the Gun Club, firmly. "If you try to run away I'll surely shoot you."
'Twas said his child took the fever from her and got its death that way. But I don't know. I don't know. It is true they had not brought in the New Style then; but 'You knew him before? Masterson, I mean? 'Why, he had courted me! was the good-tempered answer. 'You don't know much if you don't know that.
Then his boat had drifted away and since then he had lived the life of a wild man, setting snares for rabbits and partridges, and eating them raw, tearing them with his clawlike fingers. Early the next day the expected happened. Chastened, and with burned and swollen hands and feet, Masterson and his cronies came into the boys' camp at breakfast time.
John had been represented in an exaggerated form, a circumstance not unknown in the case of promoters of colonization of a more recent date than that we are at present considering. Peter Carr and Thomas Masterson, two of Livingston's tenants, settled on the west side of the river opposite Musquash Island; both seem to have proved good settlers.
"Besides I'm kind of lame. I think I er wrenched my ankle getting out of the boat." "I guess you wrenched your nerve," sneered Eph. Then, headed by Masterson, with the pistol in his grasp, they began to ascend the pathway. Dick was in a quandary. But he decided that the only way to tackle the problem was to take the bull by the horns.
The next day Masterson and his companions, very much subdued, boarded the Wondership as passengers. All of them were still suffering painfully from the effects of the burns, their only reward from their ill-advised raid on the black barren. "Boys," asked Masterson, "can't you take our camping equipment along? It's a shame to have it rot here." "All right," said Jack.
But the swift current had it in its grasp and bore it rapidly away. Masterson sprang on Sam and began beating him violently as the cause of all the trouble. It was serious enough for them. The loss of the boat had marooned them on the island. The boat drifted past a rocky point further down the island shore. Had they been there, they would have been able to seize it.
Fishwick I want to see, Sir George answered civilly. Through the brick passage he had a glimpse, as through a funnel, of green leaves climbing on a tiny treillage, and of a broken urn on a scrap of sward. 'You have a young lady staying here? he continued. The old woman's stiff grey eyebrows grew together. 'No! she said sharply. 'Nothing of the kind! 'A Miss Masterson.
Masterson proved to be a motherly lady of fifty, and she readily consented to keep the boys and give them their supper and breakfast. "You won't have to pay a cent," she declared. I am glad to do Doctor Reed's son a favor, and your friend a favor too. The doctor is a wonderfully fine man." "An' Mr. Dodge treated me right on that lumber fer the barn," put in Aaron Masterson.
'Tut-tut! said the don with some brusqueness, his hand still on the door; 'do you want me? He had seen the attorney after the duel, and in the confusion attendant on the injured man's removal; and knew him by sight, but no farther. 'I hem I think you wished to see Mrs. Masterson? was Mr. Fishwick's answer, and the lawyer, but with all humility, made as if he would enter.
