Well, so I should, only I know there are a lot of traps for the unwary, and that stones may be of any size and yet of little value where color and consistency are clean off. Therefore, I brought them back, and on the first day at home I took one round to Spink's, and asked him to have it roughly cut and valued."
Time was too precious for many words of explanation, and it was the work of only a minute or two to place Viola in the buggy, and for Jasper to get in beside her. Susanna rode Bob. Jasper Very's plan was to take the wounded maiden to Mart Spink's house, and then to hurry for medical help, if she were living.
Davy Spink's attention having been attracted, he became subject to similar alterations of visage. "Hallo!" cried the captain, while the whole crew burst into a laugh, "you must have given them poison. Have you a stomach-pump, doctor?" he said, turning hastily to Ruby. "No, nothing but a penknife and a tobacco-stopper. If they're of any use to you "
Pike that we'd run into their ship hove to on the other tack. Don't you believe it. There wasn't no ship." "But how do you explain the carrying away of our head-gear?" I demanded. "There's lots of things can't be explained, sir," was Tom Spink's answer. "Who can explain the way the Finns plays tom-fool tricks with the weather? Yet everybody knows it.
All India knew Wressley's name and office it was in Thacker and Spink's Directory but who he was personally, or what he did, or what his special merits were, not fifty men knew or cared. His work filled all his time, and he found no leisure to cultivate acquaintances beyond those of dead Rajput chiefs with Ahir blots in their scutcheons.
He started forward, and drawing from his pocket the letter with which he was charged, thrust it into Spink's hand, and said hurriedly "Don't fail to deliver it the first thing you do on landing. And hark'ee, Spink, go to Mrs. Brand's cottage, and tell them there why I went away. Be sure you see them all, and explain why it was. Tell Minnie Gray that I will be certain to return, if God spares me."
Kiddy Leech had been sitting on the bench less than quarter of an hour when he saw several boys coming along the frozen river on their skates. He looked at them indifferently at first, but soon became interested in two of the number. These boys were Ham Spink and Carl Dudder. The third youth was Barney Hedge, one of Spink's cronies. "The same boys!" muttered the tramp to himself.
"Well, you can't blame it on me," retorted Carl Dudder. "Maybe it was Ham Spink's plan," suggested Whopper. "It was." "And what did you do?" "Hid your stuff on you," said Dick Bush, in a low tone. "Anything else?" "Well, we -er -we took a little meat and had some dinner while we were over there."
Then he ran into the cave and came forth with Shep's watch, and a number of trinkets taken from the Spink camp. "He must have come here after he left the old cabin," said Snap. "See, there is some food. He must have gotten that last night, when he raided Spink's place." They took with them all the things to be found, and then made another search for the chimpanzee.
Then, seeing the others, he explained: "I accused them of it and they admitted taking the clothes they said it was nothing but a little joke and they laughed at me. Then when I said they could pay for the missing things they told me to clear out or they'd have me locked up for trespassing on Mr. Spink's land!" "That's like Ham," answered Snap.
