"Do you boys know anything about mines?" he asked.
"If my idea is worth anything at all," replied Will, "we'll get the boys out without ever letting the hold-up men know that we are within a mile of them. You know we had very little difficulty in getting out of the chamber where we left the boat." "Trust you boys for inventing ways of doing things!" exclaimed Canfield.

I am sure you are too generous for your own interest. Why, it's munificent, princely." "Don't be troubled about me. I can spare it. Send your boy to college, and next year I will send you another sum equally large." "How can I thank you, Jefferson?" said Mr. Canfield, the tears coming into his eyes.
