There's not a boy in town with a better future than Lester. Like Lester says, everything his Uncle Mark touches turns to gold, and he's already touched Lester. One of the best known men on Washington Avenue for his blood-uncle, and on his poor dead father's side related to the Katz & Harberger Harbergers. Was I right, mama, when I said if you'd only let me stop school I'd show you?
Sandy whispered to George. "Then the fellow shouldn't get scared so easy!" "I consider it very fortunate for you boys," they heard Katz saying after a time, "that I came along just as I did. If this country is as thoroughly infested with robbers and murderers as you seem to think it is, I may be of service to you before morning." "Sure!" agreed Tommy.
I gave him something to eat and put him to bed with Mr. Katz." "Then the fellow is a little thief! That's all I've got to say about it!" exclaimed Katz, not quite so aggressive, now that he saw that the boys were inclined to resent insults, and remembering that he had no revolver with which to enforce his demands!
The letter was folded, thrust into the envelope, and the envelope sealed and stamped. "It's dinner time, fellows," announced Gerald, "and we'll post this on our way to the noon eats. Come on." They all got up and left the room. "When do we hike for the island, Gerald?" asked Katz, as they went downstairs. "We'll pull out for San Pedro to-morrow, and catch the morning boat," was the reply.
"Bully!" yelled Burton, as Hill helped Clancy aboard. "There's the satchel! Clancy brought away the grip with the money! Oh, this is better than I hoped for!" The motor wizard dropped with a splash into the bottom of the boat. While Hill held up his head and wrung the water out of his red hair, Burton got back on the midship thwart and grabbed the oars. "Where's Katz, Clancy?" Hill asked.
"To-morrow, baby, I tighten the buttons on them new spats. How pretty they look." "Yes, dearie." "I told Mrs. Katz to-day right out her Irving can't bring any more his bicycle through my front hall. Wasn't I right?" "Of course you were, ma." "Miss Flora looked right nice in that pink waist to-night not? Four-eighty-nine only, at Gimp's sale." "She's too fat for pink."
"How girls are raised nowadays, even the poor ones!" "I ain't the one to complain, Mrs. Katz, but just look down there, that red stuff." "Where?" "Ain't it cranberry between Ruby and Vetsburg?" "Yes, yes, and look such a dish of it!" "Is it right extras should be allowed to be brought on a table like this where fourteen other boarders got to let their mouth water and look at it?"

Neither Clancy nor Katz was so situated that he could hear the conversation going forward between the two in the cabin. The voices sounded from below in considerable volume, but the words ran together in hollow echoes that baffled the ear. "Go on, Katz," whispered Clancy. "We'll try that scheme. If Hogan leaves the cabin, I'll go down." "Suppose Wynn stays with the money?"
What are you and Gerald Wynn and Bob Katz doing here?" "Who said Gerald and Bob were with me?" returned Burton sullenly. "You said something before we got out of the boat which proved to me that Gerald Wynn was here with you. And, if Gerald is here, Katz is along, too. Why are you in this place?" Burton did not answer.
