"Here's a letter from father quite an important one, too," said Dick as he joined his brothers in one of the rooms several days later. "What about?" questioned Sam, while Tom looked up from a book with interest. "It's about Tad Sobber and that fortune from Treasure Isle," answered Dick. "What! Has that rascal showed up again?" exclaimed Tom.
Tad Sobber has had his case thrown out of court!" "Say, that's great!" ejaculated Tom, and in the fullness of his spirits he turned a handspring. "I reckon that's the end of Mr. Tad Sobber," said Sam. But the youngest Rover was mistaken.
"He who sets foot here dies!" came from a third voice. "This is the burial place of the great Hupa hupa! Back, if you value your life!" And then followed a jabbering nobody could understand, and white arms were waved wildly in the air. This warning was too much for Tad Sobber, and without further ado he took to his heels and retreated down the trail whence he had come.
"Even if we did have trouble with Lew Flapp, Dan Baxter and some others." "Speaking of Dan Baxter puts me in mind of something," came from Songbird Powell. "It has just leaked out that Tad Sobber sent a note to Captain Putnam in which Tad blamed some of the cadets for his troubles, and said he was going to get square some day." "Did he mention any names?" questioned Sam. "Yes." "Mine?"
"Yes, and this Silas Merrick was an older brother to Sid Merrick, the rascal who stole the bonds, and whom you heard mentioned by Cuffer and Shelley. Let me say here that Silas Merrick is dead, and when he died he left all his property to his brother Sidney and his sister. The sister is dead, too, and her property, so I understand, went to her son Tad Sobber."
All felt that the coming legal contest would be a bitter one, and that Tad Sobber and the shyster lawyer who was aiding him would do all in their power to get possession of the fortune found on Treasure Isle. The girls were coming to the football game with Sam, and all said they trusted Brill would win the contest.
"Personally I never want to set eyes on Sobber again," said Dick, with a shrug of his broad shoulders. "The idea of introducing that deadly snake into the school was the limit. Why, half a dozen of us might have been bitten instead of only poor Pell." "Maybe he did it only for a joke," said Larry Colby, another of the cadets.
Oh, I do hope our side wins!" cried Sam wistfully. "It would set me wild to see Tad Sobber get all that money!" Dick and Sam were to meet Tom in Ashton at three o'clock, and all hoped that the girls would come later. Stanley could not go, for he had a Latin composition to write.
"Just the same, it will be nice to call on the girls. They'll be looking for us some day this week." "That's right and maybe we can give them a little ride," put in Dick Rover. "Do you remember the ride we gave Dora and Nellie, when we rescued them from Sobber, Crabtree, and the others?" asked Tom. "Not likely to forget that in a hurry," answered his big brother.
"I'm all stuck up with the thorns," put in Tad Sobber. "I think we were foolish to come to such a spot as this." "You can go back if you want to," answered his uncle, who was evidently out of patience. "Nobody is keeping you." "I am not going back alone I couldn't find the way," answered Tad. "Then don't growl."
