CHAPTER XXIX 

DAYS OF ANXIETY 

"I wonder what Davenport will say when he finds those men are working here?" remarked Fred. 

"I don't care what he says," answered Jack. 

"Do you think he'll dare come over here and have it out with Uncle Dick?" questioned Andy. 

"I don't think so," answered his brother. "I believe behind it all he is afraid we'll have him arrested for the theft of those documents." 

"If he really took them, what do you think he did with them?" came from Fred. 

"More than likely he destroyed them," answered Jack. "He wouldn't want evidence like that lying around loose, you know." 

When Carson Davenport learned that six of his men had deserted and gone over to the Rovers he was more angry than ever. 

"They're going to do their best to undermine us," he said to Tate. "I wish I knew just how to get square with them." 

"We'll get square enough if we strike oil here," said Tate. "Those Rovers will feel sick enough if they learn we are making a barrel of money." 

"It's easy enough to talk about making a barrel of money," came from Jackson, who was present. "But I don't see the money flowing in very fast." He had been talking to a number of his friends, and many of them had said they thought the chances of getting oil from the Spell claim were very slim. 

"Oh, you just hold your horses, Jackson," said Carson Davenport smoothly. "Take my word for it, this well we are putting down is going to be one of the biggest in this territory."  QUESTIONS:
