He may feel grateful to us, you know, because we saved his brother or rather you did, Ned." "And Bug Batters knew that Moxley was in the vicinity," whispered Nugget. "That's who he was looking for when we met him." "I have no doubt that the stranger was Bug Batters," said Ned, "and I think he is trying to prevent his old companion from carrying out his revenge, as Clay suggests.
Nearer and nearer he came, and when less than four feet separated him from his intended victim, Moxley heard some slight noise and wheeled around. Bug was on him with one spring, and down they fell with a great crash, and rolled in furious strife over the shaking floor Bug crying for help at the top of his voice, Moxley uttering hoarse threats and imprecations.
"You mean that curly-haired clerk who wears the ruby scarf pin?" laughed Billie. "What's his name?" "Delosia Moxley," answered Elinor. "He is always giving Nancy pointers about the latest modes. He was responsible for that Spanish veil she would wear last winter " "He was not," interrupted Nancy. "He merely told me they were the fashion in New York. I needn't have bought it if I hadn't wanted to."
"Well, I'll leave the whole affair in your hands then," replied Ned. "I was just on my way to the farmhouse when you stopped me. What do you think we had better do? Wait for Moxley to go to sleep again, or try to capture him with this empty gun?"

Ned was so anxious to procure Bug's release that he quite forgot his suspicions of a few moments before namely, that Bug was equally guilty with Moxley of the theft of the boat and the gun. "Won't you let him go?" he pleaded. "It's all a mistake. He had nothing to do with stealing those things from the farmer. He was doing all he could to help us."
"I suppose his mother will make your suit and he'll pin the feather on the hat, and between them they will equip you to climb the Adirondacks. But, oh, Nancy, I implore you to explain to Mrs. Moxley that hobbles don't go in the mountains." "She understands," replied Nancy with much dignity.
