CHAPTER XXI 

OFF FOR THE MINING DISTRICT 

While Jack Wumble was off attending to his private business the three Rover boys took a stroll through Denver. 

The city was different from any they had visited, and their walk was full of interest. 

Coming to a store in the window of which were exhibited a number of Indian curiosities, the boys halted to examine the objects, when Tom uttered a sudden cry. 

"Look, Dick! There is Bradner inside!" 

"Yes, and Dan Baxter is with him!" returned the elder brother quickly. "Here's luck, surely!" 

"Will you have them locked up?" asked Sam. 

"To be sure--if we can." 

The boys looked around for a policeman, but none happened to be in sight. 

"Run and see if you can find one," said Dick to Sam. "Tom and I can watch the pair." 

At once Sam made off. But policemen were not numerous, and it took quite some time to locate one and explain what was wanted. 

In the meantime Dan Baxter had caught sight of Tom and told Bradner of his discovery. 

Boy and man came out of the store in a great hurry. They were about to run off when Dick caught Bradner by the arm, while his brother halted the former bully of Putnam Hall. 

"Let go of me!" hissed Bradner, and as Dick paid no attention he aimed a blow for the youth's head. But Dick "had been there before," and dodged, and the force of his effort nearly took the rascal off his feet. Before he could recover Dick had him down on his back and was sitting on his chest.
