"No, but it will be tough if the downpour comes just when we want to look for George Stormways and Bunny. I suppose, though, we could tie up at Morehead and wait till it passes by." "Hope we haven't passed it already," said Maurice, looking serious. "Oh! I don't think that could be possible, do you?
William grinned, for he saw that he had already captured the hearts of his comrades, and had small need to fear they would let him seek satisfaction alone. Jack Stormways was as deeply interested in the outcome as his chum Paul. He remembered all his father had said at the breakfast table on the preceding day, in connection with this same man Growdy.
Two minutes later, and still splashing through water that came almost up to their hips, those who bore the injured man arrived close to the boats. "Why, it's Professor Hackett who's being carried!" exclaimed Jack. The small man on the litter, who looked very white, lifted his head with an effort, and tried to wave his hand. "Yes, that's who it is; and you're Jack Stormways; aren't you? Oh!
Stormways had declared his utmost faith in the honesty and integrity of his two boys. "But you're not sure that Karl has anything to do with the disappearing coins. Other boys may have been up there to-day?" suggested his friend, quickly. "I asked mother, and she said she didn't remember that any one had come to see me. No, the more I think about it the worse I feel.
When he dashed into the house, disappearing in the volume of smoke that poured from the open doorway, a groan went up from the great crowd; for they doubted as to whether he would ever be seen alive again. "He's gone!" "Who was that boy?" called the foreman of the fire company, as he came running up, waving his speaking trumpet. "Jack Stormways, the lumber man's boy!" some one answered.
You haven't even taken me in, you know, and I'm as much in the dark as the next fellow," remarked Jack Stormways, reproachfully; for being Paul's closest chum he might have expected to share his confidence. "Wait a bit. We might as well make ourselves comfortable while we're about it. I'll sit down on this box, and the rest of you gather around on the floor.
"I'm going to ask my father if he ought not to hire you to be night watchman right along, Hans. This plant of ours is getting too big a thing to leave unguarded, with so many tramps coming along the road in the good old summer time. I suppose you'd like the job, all right?" "Sure," replied the bustling little man, his eyes sparkling. "I always did enchoy vorkin' for Misder Stormways.
"Pass along, gentlemen," sang out William, after the pair had successfully stood the test; "the animals went in two by two; the elephant and the kangaroo!" and as usual there was a laugh at this sally, which applied so aptly to the couple just entering. "All here now, Paul," announced Jack Stormways, counting noses in the light of half a dozen lanterns provided by Mr.
A hand crept out and squeezed Paul's warmly; and there were tears in the eyes of Jack Stormways as he made answer. "Just like you, old fellow, to cheer me up like that. Here, let me hunt up the list for you. But promise that you won't whisper one little hint to a living soul. Oh! Karl, how could you?" "Hold on, don't judge him before you know. Believe him innocent until you find proof otherwise.
Karl gave a shout, and even Mrs. Stormways could not repress a smile, though she felt that it was wrong. "I heard about it from one of the boys, father; I don't want to tell his name, you see, because it might get him into a scrape," said Karl, as he managed to get his breath again.
