"Now, I'm getting down to hard facts, boy. I want to let you into the great secret, and your chum ditto. Could you come over to our house, say about ten this morning, and fetch that sharp-eyed Thad along with you? There'll be something about to happen then.
Hugh seemed to have mapped out a plan of campaign in his mind, for he answered without hesitation. "We must pick up several of the fellows Thad for one, then Owen Dugdale would be another good hand at hunting for a lost party; and, well, Julius Hobson for the third. That will make five in all, enough to search the quarry road from end to end.
The yellow flood of the great Ohio River could be seen from where they stood, glowing in the early November sunshine. Upon being greeted with these words Maurice Pemberton shook his head dolefully. "It's come, just as I've been half expecting it these four months, Thad. The old couple I live with have sold their house and leave for Chicago in a week.
The boys looked at each other; perhaps Thad and Allan smiled somewhat, but for a wonder none of the others had any kind of joke to spring just then; for truth to tell Giraffe, Davy and even Step Hen himself were feeling as though if this sort of swaying motion had to keep up much longer they could not resist the temptation to copy after the boy who was so terribly seasick.
"Four!" exclaimed Maurice, suiting the action to the word, and landing a second brace beside the first. As Thad stooped down to feel of these he received a shock, for a third couple struck him on the head. "Six?" he ejaculated, almost afraid to believe his eyes. "That's not all.
"I'm in with you, boys," continued Jim, as they arose to leave the Courier office, "to the limit; but there's one favor I want to ask of you in return." "Name it, Jim!" cried Thad, grasping the cold hand of the reporter, for just at that moment he felt as though willing to do almost anything in return for this real kindness on the part of his old-time associate.
Why, it seems to be absolutely devoid of weight altogether. What is it, professor?" "Thad, my good sir, is my new medal, which I gall `aethereum' begause of ids wonderful lighdness. See here." There was a very handsome cut glass water-jug, full, standing on the table in a capacious salver of hammered brass. The professor took up the jug and emptied it into the salver, almost filling the latter.
We must celebrate properly!" he was getting quite excited, and Andy began to worry somewhat, for he did not want his roommate to celebrate in the wrong way, and there was some danger lest he might. "Where is he?" "Lead me to him!" "Oh, you Andy Blair!" Bob, Ted and Thad came bursting into the room, which would not hold many more.
He thinks there is nothing serious the matter with her, only that she's been underfed for a long time, and has suffered. Perhaps she's denied herself proper food so as to save up enough money to make this trip." Thad shook his head as if feeling sad over the happening; for the boy had a tender heart.
But never forget to keep one eye open when dealing with such a slippery customer, for his repentance is only skin-deep at the best." Hugh made no reply. He knew it would have been utterly useless, because the Chief was not only a very stubborn man, but inclined to be a narrow-minded one in the bargain. So he and Thad walked out.
