CHAPTER XI 

OVERHEARD IN THE SUMMER-HOUSE 

"Dave, what do you think! I saw Link Merwell this morning!" 

It was Laura who spoke, as she burst into her brother's room, where the youth was looking over the things he expected to take with him on his trip West. 

"You saw Link Merwell!" cried Dave, dropping some collars he held in his hand. "Where?" 

"Down on Main Street, near the post-office." 

"Did he speak to you?" 

"Oh, no, the minute he noticed that I saw him he hurried out of sight around the corner. I followed to the corner, but when I got there he had gone." 

"Was Job Haskers with him?" 

"I didn't see him." 

"Humph! This is interesting, to say the least," mused Dave. He thought of what Nat Poole had told him, and of what Merwell and Haskers had attempted at the Morr homestead. "I'll have to look into this," he added, aloud. 

"Oh, Dave, do you think he'll try to do something more round here--or at the jewelry works?" 

"I'll warn Mr. Wadsworth, Laura, and he can notify the police. But it's queer Merwell should show himself, knowing there is a warrant out for his arrest. Weren't you mistaken?" 

"I don't think so. Of course he had on a slouch hat, drawn down over his eyes, and an unusual suit of clothing, but I am pretty certain it was Merwell." 

"Then Haskers must be here, too. They travel together." Dave heaved a sigh. "It's too bad! I wish they were in China, or at the North Pole!"  QUESTIONS:
