"We can go around to that side window and listen," suggested Phil, and pointed to the window in question. This was quickly agreed upon, and the four boys left the hotel and walked out on a gravel path close to the window. As the day was warm, the window was wide open. "No, it was a frost!" they heard Job Haskers say, in harsh tones. "He wouldn't buy the stock?" queried Link Merwell.
He could not help smiling at her, and when she came and pinned on his coat a buttonhole bouquet he thought he was the happiest boy in the whole world. "Oh, but won't we have the grand times when we get out West!" he said to her. "I hope so, Dave," she answered. "But " "But what, Jessie?" he questioned, as he saw her hesitate. "I I can't get that Link Merwell out of my head.
That was taken during cold weather, and everything was covered with snow and ice. Besides, the scenery was quite different." Dave paused to sweep the horizon. "In what direction is the Merwell ranch?" he asked. "Over yonder," answered Belle, pointing up the river. "The little brook flowing down between those rough rocks marks the boundary line." "And whose cattle are those on yonder hills?"
"Merwell," answered Dave, as calmly as he could, "I have no desire to interfere in your business. But I am not going to stand by and see you abuse this boy, or anybody else. I know just the sort you are a bully." "Bah! Just because you had me expelled from Oak Hall you think you can do anything, don't you? Well, just wait till you get out West, that's all!
When they got to the bridge Dave was much surprised to see a couple of men at work repairing the structure. They were putting down some planking that was bound to last a long while. "Mr. Merwell must have opened his heart at last," said Dave, to the railroad president. "Not at all, Dave; I am having this work done," was Mr. Endicott's reply. "But I thought you said it was up to Mr.
"Oh, Dave, you must be mistaken." "I don't think so. It looks like Merwell, and Nat Poole said he was in Chicago." "So he did. Now you speak of it, he does look like Merwell. Wish we had an opera glass, we might make sure." "I'll see if we can't borrow a glass," said Dave. He looked around and saw that a lady directly in front of Jessie had a pair of glasses in her lap.
"That we don't know," answered Phil. "But we are hoping they are safe." "By the way, did you see Merwell and Haskers?" cried Dave, suddenly. "Why, no not since they ran away from our camp," returned Roger. "I saw them just before I found this opening. They were below me, the two of them and Sol Blugg." "Maybe they got caught," muttered Phil.
"See how tall and thin he is. It's old Haskers!" "Yes, and the other fellow is Link Merwell," replied Roger, a second later. The three chums were right; the two persons who were approaching the camp on the mountainside so stealthily were Link Merwell and Job Haskers. They came on step by step, looking ahead and to either side, as if on the alert to flee at the first sign of danger.
Endicott was very angry, and I think the boss will speak to Mr. Merwell about it." "Link ought to be hammered good and hard!" cried Roger. "The boss wishes the Merwells would sell out. But Mr. Merwell doesn't seem to want to budge. The girls were so afraid of Link they said they wouldn't go out again unless Mr. Endicott was along," continued the cowboy.
"I axed the man where you was and he said you was visitin' his house and wanted to show him something you had in the case." "Do you know what I think?" exclaimed Dave. "I think this is the work of Link Merwell!" "Yes, and Job Haskers," added Phil. "They are working together." "But why did they steal my suit-case?" asked Roger. "Do you suppose ?" He stopped short, for strangers were about.
