both at hunting and at fishing. This time Spouter went along, and while the others were fishing with more or less success the orator of Colby Hall had the honor of stirring up a brook mink of fair size and laying it low. "You've got a nice little neck-piece there for somebody," said Jack, as he looked at the soft fur of the mink. "You can count yourself lucky." Another Sunday was passed in camp, but still the Secret Service agent did not show himself. On the Sabbath day Jed Wallop came down to see them. They said nothing to the old hunter of what was in the wind. "I am sorry to hear your vacation is drawin' to a close," said Jed Wallop. "But you ought to be purty well satisfied over what you've got.

"Looks as if we were, doesn't it?" answered Jack, as he stood in the doorway with the others peering over his shoulders. "We would like to have a talk with you, young man," went on Emil Bauermann, with a frown on his face. "We came over here on purpose to see you." "If you young men have been trying to make trouble for me you shall suffer for it," came in a growl from Tony Duval. "Who said we were trying to make trouble for you, Duval?" demanded Gif.
