"Oh, I know dat, Massa Tom yo'll turn dis place upside down in two days suah!" "Why, Aleck, you know I'd never do anything so rash," answered Tom, meekly. "Going to uncover some more freight thieves?" asked Jack Ness, as he took charge of the team and started for the barn. "I think dem boys had bettah cotch some of dem chicken thieves," put in Aleck Pop. "Yo' don't seem to git holt ob dem nohow."
