I want to know what you did with my suit-case, and I want to know what you mean by impersonating me." "I I " began Merwell, and then stopped, not knowing how to proceed. "This is er very unfortunate," murmured Job Haskers. He would have retired had there been any place to retire to, which there was not. "Say, are you Roger Morr?" gasped Abe Blower, gazing fixedly at the senator's son. "I am.
Blower here?" asked Dave. A sudden idea had sprung into his mind. "Of course he isn't here. I I don't understand this at all really, I don't." "Don't understand what?" asked Roger. "Your bein' here, after the letter Abe sent yesterday afternoon. Didn't you say your name was Roger Morr?" "Yes." "Then you went off with Abe, didn't you?" "Me?" cried Roger. "Why, I have never seen him as yet."
Passmore, I'll leave this matter to you," answered the elderly gentleman. "You know those young men better than I do." "So I do, and I'll vouch for Roger Morr and his friends," was the answer. "Show the gentleman up," he added, to the bell-boy. "Don't tell him who is here we want to surprise him." As the bell-boy left, the three chums crowded into the bathroom, leaving the door on a crack.
Again there was a rush, but this time poor Shadow took to his heels and rushed up on the piazza, just as the door opened and Mrs. Morr came out to greet the boys. "Roger!" exclaimed the lady of the mansion, turning to her son, "what in the world " "Only a little horse-play, Mom," replied the son, with a smile. "We are so glad to see the fellows that we have to let off a little steam."
"It looked like a fight to me." "Oh, nothing like that, Mrs. Morr," said Dave, quickly. "Only fun; isn't that so, fellows?" "Of course!" was the quick reply. "Have you met Luke and Shadow, Mom?" asked Roger. "Yes, about an hour ago. I told them that you had telephoned that you were on the way home, so they said they'd remain out here, watching for you.
"See here, Morr, I won't er have you ahem! talk about me in this " commenced the former teacher. "But I will talk about you!" interrupted Roger. "You are a rascal, almost as bad as Merwell here, and you know it." "Yes, and we know it, don't we, Phil?" cried another voice, and Dave and Phil stepped into view.
He took up the crowbar, and with it ascertained that the opening with the sand and nuggets was of unknown depth. "It's the lost Landslide Mine!" said Dave to himself. "The lost mine beyond a doubt, and all this gold belongs to Mrs. Morr! Oh, won't Roger be glad when I tell him the glorious news!"
Senator Morr had engaged a local band of eight pieces, and if the music was not of a high order it was certainly patriotic, and that counted for a good deal. Of course the other boys had to hear all about the proposed trip West and, incidentally, about the lost Landslide Mine. From his father and mother Roger got some more details concerning the missing property.
I followed to the corner, but when I got there he had gone." "Was Job Haskers with him?" "I didn't see him." "Humph! This is interesting, to say the least," mused Dave. He thought of what Nat Poole had told him, and of what Merwell and Haskers had attempted at the Morr homestead. "I'll have to look into this," he added, aloud.
As they stood near the car steps talking, a porter of the car touched Roger on the arm. "Excuse me, Mr. Morr," he said, "but did you send a man here for your suit-case?" "I certainly did not!" cried the senator's son. "You didn't!" gasped the colored porter, and at once showed his excitement. "Well, one came here, with a written order for your suit-case, and I done gave it to him!"
