"Don't you go," urged Pee-wee; "we've got a right here; we're going to camp on this island." "Sure we are," said Roly Poly. "And you can't make us get off, either, because it isn't on your land." Old Trimmer wasted no words. "Pile in here, all of you," he said, indicating the boat, "or I'll have yer all up fer trespassin'." "Do you own this old scow or whatever it is underneath us?"
The boys had witnessed the whole affair from their hiding places, and now they dropped from the tree, and came timidly forward. At the same moment Randy crept out of the shadows and joined them. The farmer caught sight of the boys and took a step toward them, still keeping a tight hold on his dog. "What do you mean by trespassin' here, you impudent young rascals?" he demanded savagely.
Rube turned sharply round and looked up at the intruder. "Hullo!" he exclaimed. "Where did you blow in from, I'd like ter know? An' what 're you doin' here, anyway? You aware as you're trespassin'?" He stood confronting a tall, handsome young Indian, who was dressed in fringed buckskins with a red shirt, and a close-fitting cap of beaver fur.
You see, at that time there was no proper minin' law in America; so when men got t'quarrellin', they soon took t' fightin'. So long as the Comstock was only placer-minin', we knew what we were about, an' there was no trespassin', but when we took t' tunnelling', it wasn't long before we was borin' under one another's ledges.
Suddenly from behind a tree stepped the burly form of Hank Smither. "You can't go any further!" he growled. "Turn back an' git off this land! You're trespassin'!" "Oh, I think not," said Mr. Ford, pleasantly. "Well, I tell you you be! Git off, 'fore I " "Now I advise you to go slow, my big friend," put in the constable.
"You are sure he was on the low grounds?" "Cose I is!" asseverated Uncle Billy, meanwhile backing farther away. "What was he doing there?" Uncle Billy stammered. "He he he, he was trespassin', dat's what he was doin' des natcherly trespassin'." At this marvel of testimony, Mrs. Cary's lips relaxed in a smile and she warned him with an upraised finger. "Be careful, Uncle Billy! Be careful."
Those few hairs told their own accusing tale. To but one creature in the Daleland could they belong "Th' Tailless Tyke." "He mun a bin trespassin'!" cried Andrew. "Ay, and up to some o' his bloody work, I'll lay my life," the Master answered. "But Th' Owd Un shall show us." The old dog's hurts proved less severe than had at first seemed possible.
In the first place, she don't like it, and in the second place, most people in these parts are honourable. We wouldn't any more think of trespassin' up there than we'd think of pickin' somebody's pocket. Besides which, there's supposed to be rattlesnakes up there among the rocks. And besides that, the place is haunted." "Haunted? I understood it was the old Windom house that is haunted."
And you ain't no bigger than a minute at that." "That's just it! Suppose the Apaches did come over the line? What could we do if Lorry were gone?" "Well, you might repo't their trespassin' to me. And I reckon your daddy might have somethin' to say to 'em. He's been around some." "Oh, I suppose so. But there is a lot of work to do in Lorry's district, I noticed, coming down.
Well, nothin' doing along that line. This here island belongs to us, and we don't allow no trespassin." "Is the island for sale?" inquired Hal, who thought he saw an opening through which he might work up the interest of the three men without arousing their antagonism.
