"They are some of the cadets, but no chums of ours," replied Dick. "Oh!" "They belong to a little crowd of their own." explained Tom. "We don't hitch very well, so that is why we let them go by unnoticed." "We met them at the store in Oakville," said Alice. "Did they speak to you?" "Yes, but but we did not want them to." "Humph!" said Dick, and then the subject was changed.
It will give the people of Oakville such a pleasing impression to see us driving to church. Of course, I may fail, Mr. Holcroft is evidently a hardened man. All the influences of his life have been adverse to spiritual development, and it may require some weeks of my influence to soften him and awaken yearnings for what he has not yet known."
All they knew about their location was that the up stage from Oakville had seen two men with Circle Dot cattle about five miles below, and had sent up word by the driver that they had something like four hundred head.
The last contestant was a red-headed fellow from the Atascosa above Oakville, and seemed to have a host of friends. On his first trial over the course, he stripped four rings, but on neither subsequent effort did he equal his first attempt. Imitating the former contestant, the red-headed fellow broke his lance and congratulated the winner. The tourney was over.
What brought them to Oakville?" "We had better not let them see us with this stuff," said Pender hurriedly. "We'll get into hot water if they do." They lost no time in putting their purchases out of sight. Then they walked out on the street and stood leaning against the posts of a wooden awning. "There is Flapp and his crowd now," said Tom, catching sight of the trio.
In the docket for the May term of court, the divorce proceedings between Esther and Jack Oxenford would come up for a hearing at Oakville on the seventh of the month. Hunter was anxious, if possible, to have all his friends present at the trial.
Staton had been reading his favorite weekly newspaper. "We have come on a very important errand, Mr. Staton," began Dick. "We have been down to Oakville and learned there that you are the local police officer." "Ah! Do you want somebody arrested?" "If it can be done." "Somebody at the camp?" put in Helen. "No, I wish he was at the camp," said Tom. "But I'm afraid he is miles away."
The latest word from the Vaux ranch said that the couple had separated; at least there was some trouble, for when Oxenford had attempted to force her to return to Oakville, and had made some disparaging remarks, Tony Hunter had crimped a six-shooter over his head.
They may offer us a piece of pie," said Tom. "I don't know. We can walk by slowly. They may be on the lookout for us, you know." Once again the boys set their faces toward Oakville, and soon reached the outskirts of the town. They were passing some of the stores when Lew Flapp caught sight of them. "Hullo!" cried the tall boy. "I declare! there are the three Rover brothers.
Tony remained overnight, and we made arrangements to meet him, either at Shepherd's the evening before or in Oakville on the morning of the trial. Owing to the behavior of Quayle and Cotton, none of us had attended the celebration of San Jacinto Day at the ferry.
