"Don't you think Sid Merrick fooled Sobber?" asked the girl. "Perhaps, but I guess Tad was willing to be fooled. They set their hearts on that money, and now Tad can't give it up. In one way I am sorry for him, and if a small amount of cash would satisfy him and set him on his feet, I'd hand it over. We put Dan Baxter on his feet that way." "Oh, but Baxter isn't Sobber, Dick.
That Dutch boy burnt himself ag'in with a rocket, but it ain't much an' he don't care, for he said the rocket hit a chap named Sobber in the stomach and keeled him over." "Good for Hans!" cried Sam. "That will give Tad Sobber something to remember him by!" As quickly as it could be done, the treasure was transferred to the two rowboats, and the entire party set out for the steam yacht.
"I've got a thorn right through my shoe. Wait till I pull it out, will you?" And he came to a halt not over ten yards from where the Rover boys were hidden. "You didn't have to come, Tad," said his uncle, somewhat harshly. "I told you to suit yourself." "Oh, I want to see that treasure cave as well as you do," answered Sobber.
At once Tom set up a deep groaning and Sam and Dick joined in. "What's that?" asked Shelley, who was the first to hear the sounds. "Sounds like somebody in distress," answered Sid Merrick. "Thought you said there was nobody on this island?" came from Cuffer. "Didn't think there was. Maybe it's some native who " "Look! look!" screamed Tad Sobber and pointed ahead with his hand. "What's that?"
He may be on his way now, or he may not have started yet from New York." "Oh, I hope we don't meet Merrick, or Sobber either!" cried Dora. On the outskirts of the town was a fine flower garden where roses of unusual beauty were grown. One day the girls and ladies visited this and Dick and Songbird went along.
He showed that he believed them innocent, for which they were thankful. "Here is more news," said Dick. "The case of Tad Sobber against the Stanhopes and the Lanings comes up in court next Tuesday; that is, they are going to argue the question of the injunction on that day." "That will make Mrs. Stanhope and Mrs. Laning very anxious." "Yes, and the girls, too, Sam." "Well, we are anxious, too.
Tom made after the bully, but as luck would have it a nurse girl with a baby carriage got between them and before Tom could clear himself of the carriage Sobber was a good distance away. He turned to the eastward, down a side street where a large building was in the course of erection. He looked back and then skipped into the unfinished building.
"That fellow is Cuffer, the man who ran away from us at the old mill!" cried Dick. "Let us catch him and hand him over to the police," returned Tom. In his excitement he talked rather loudly and this attracted the attention of Cuffer and Tad Sobber. "The Rovers!" cried Sobber, leaping to his feet in consternation. "How did they get down to New York?"
"Maybe it's a new poem," put in Sam with a grimace at his brothers. "I've got a poem several of them, in fact," answered Songbird, "but I didn't have those in mind when I spoke. Who do you suppose I met yesterday morning, in Ithaca, while I was waiting for the train?" "Dora Stanhope and the Lanings," answered Tom promptly. "No. Tad Sobber." "Tad Sobber!" exclaimed the Rover boys in concert.
"That's just like Sobber," was Dick's comment. "He wouldn't tell me where he was going or what he was going to do, but he did let drop a remark or two about the fortune you discovered on Treasure Isle. He said that he was firmly convinced that the money belonged to him and to his uncle's estate, and that he meant some day to make a fight for it." "In the courts?" asked Tom.
