Huh! an owl!" "Oh, I reckon we'll soon be able to settle that part of it, all right," said Max, soothingly, for he saw that his two friends were growing a little too earnest in their dispute. "T-t-told you s-s-so," chuckled Toby. "Now, first of all, Toby, answer me a few questions, please," began Max, steadily. "S-s-sure I will; just c-c-crack away," the other piped up, cheerfully enough.
Max, it's a s-s-sure enough s-s-sea serpent, ain't it, now?" "Gee whiz! where is it, Toby?" cried Steve. "And none of us got a gun along, worse luck. Hey, show me the sea serpent, and p'raps my camera ain't so wet but what I might crack off a picture of the same; because nobody's ever going to believe you when you tell that yarn. Show me, Toby!" Toby was only too willing to comply.
I'm sorry for you, though, and if " "Let up on that sort of talk, please, Steve. If I find it too much I'll own up. Then Toby here can take his turn." "S-s-sure thing," assented the party mentioned, smiling good-naturedly. But, after all, Max carried the trophy of Steve's shots close to the camp.
"They seem to just know there's something up," declared Bandy-legs. "S-s-sure t-t-thing," added Toby, seriously. "Max, haven't you got a plan?" asked the owner of the cabin, turning toward the other eagerly, as though he guessed that if they found help at all it would be in this quarter. "I was just thinking of something," replied the boy, smiling. "Yes, go on," Trapper Jim continued.
We've got a scheme for a little outing in our canoes, and want to put it up to the rest of the bunch. How about coming down, Toby?" "S-s-sure I'll b-b-be there!" exclaimed the other. "Then make a start soon," and with that Max rang off, because he knew Toby would hold him indefinitely if once he got started asking questions and stuttering at the same time.
"S-s-sure I will be careful," replied the other, with a wide grin. "Because," Steve went on to say, "if you ever do get in collision with one, we'll have to bury every stitch you've got on, crop your hair close, and make you sleep and live in some old hollow tree. Ain't that so, Uncle Jim!" "I guess that's about the size of it," came the reply.
"S-s-sure," answered the other, nodding his head good-naturedly. "But remember," said Jim at this juncture, "a good bearskin is worth all the way from five to twenty dollars to me. But after you've made a sieve out of it with twelve or twenty-four buckshot from that scatter gun, why, I hardly think I could give it away." "So Steve, please restrain your bear-killing feeling just now," said Max.
First of all Max stepped to the fire, and they could see that he was looking it over carefully. "He's after a torch, that's what," asserted Steve. "S-s-sure he is," echoed Toby. "There, he's found what he wants," declared the boy with the crooked legs; "and it's a jim dandy one, too. Now he's heading for the place you saw your big cat, Toby."
Particularly, I want a line on this Elisha horse. Know him when you see him?" "S-s-sure!" said Squeaking Henry. "Sure I do! Big, leggy bay with a white spot on his forehead about the size of a nickel. Do I know him? Well!" "I want to know when Curry works him how far and how fast. I want to know what the old man thinks of his chances in the Handicap.
Toby just then seemed to become greatly excited. Finding it difficult to express himself as he wanted, he pointed straight at Steve, and was heard to say: "A-a-attached to you! S-s-sure they do; S-s-steve knows! Saw one attached to h-h-him once. Wouldn't h-h-hardly let go."
