"Greatest exhibition on the globe!" called out Dave, in showman style. "The two marvelous lightweights of the United States, Master Hitem Morr and Lamem Lawrence. They will fight to a finish, without gloves, weather permitting. Walk up, tumble up, or crawl up! Admission ten cents, one dime; young ladies with grandfathers in arms, half-price!" "Oh, Dave!" cried his sister, and burst out laughing.
A map was produced, and also some papers, and the son was advised to hunt up an old miner and prospector named Abe Blower. "Abe Blower knew your Uncle Maurice well," said Mrs. Morr, to her son. "They were friends for years. I am sure if you can find Mr. Blower he will do all he can for you, and for me, too." "Then I'll do what I can to find him, first of all," answered Roger.
"It's get to bed now and an early start in the morning to see if we can't catch Blower, Haskers, and Morr!" and he grinned. "The cheek of Link Merwell using my name!" murmured the senator's son. "I'll I'll knock him down for that, if I get the chance!" And his eyes blazed for the moment. Soon the boys were abed and it did not take them long to drop into profound slumber.
The boys had listened to all that was said, and now they lost no time in filing into Mr. Fordham's bedroom. Job Haskers stared at them in amazement, and his face dropped in consternation. "Porter!" he gasped. "And Morr and Lawrence! Wha what does this er mean?" "Perhaps you know as well as we do," answered Dave, sharply. "You have been spying on me!" "We are here by permission of Mr.
"Did this this Morr say where he was from, or where he was going?" asked the former teacher of Oak Hall. "Oh, the whole crowd was from the East. I reckon they are coming up here," answered Tom Dillon, dryly. "They want to find you, Abe," he added, with a wink at the other miner. "Me? What fer?" "They want you to locate this same Landslide Mine for them." "The same mine?
"No, all those who have visited the locality are agreed that the entrance to the claim must have been covered up." "Say! I'd like to hunt for that mine!" cried Dave Porter, enthusiastically. "So would I," returned Roger Morr, wistfully. "I know my mother would like to have somebody find it just to learn if it is really as valuable as Uncle Maurice thought."
"I think as Dave does, that the newsboy is honest. If you are so hard up, I'll give you five dollars out of my own pocket," and he produced a roll of bills. "I don't want your money, Morr!" answered Merwell, in a rage. "I am going to make this boy give me back my gold piece." "Say, you," said a man who had listened to the talk for several minutes. "When did you lose that five-dollar gold piece?"
On the day he died there was a big landslide in the mountains, where the mine was located, and that was the end of the mine, as far as my folks were concerned." "You mean you couldn't find the mine after the landslide?" asked Dave Porter, with deep interest. "That's it," answered Roger Morr.
Say, Tom, what are you drivin' at?" demanded Abe Blower, in astonishment. "What I'm drivin' at is just this, Abe," answered Tom Dillon, and his voice grew suddenly stern. "This ain't Roger Morr at all. The real fellow you ain't met yet. This chap is a fraud!" "Say look here " began Link Merwell. "Is the er the other Morr er coming here?" faltered Job Haskers.
In the meantime Senator Morr was dressing and so were the others of the household. "Be careful, boys! Don't go too close!" warned Mrs. Morr. "Watch out for an explosion!" puffed her husband. The senator was so stout that dressing in a hurry was no easy matter for him.
