CHAPTER XIII 

ASA LEMM IS DISMISSED 

While the examination of Jack and Walt was taking place in the office, the other Rovers and their chums held a meeting in Randy's room. 

"What do you suppose this means--calling Jack and Walt down to the colonel's office?" remarked Fred anxiously. He had just been informed by Dan Soppinger about Walt. 

"It was Jack and Walt who took those goats back. Maybe somebody spotted them," suggested Spouter. 

The discussion lasted for some minutes and grew quite warm, and then Andy leaped up. 

"I know what I'm going to do!" he said. "I'm going below and try to find out just what it means." 

"And so am I," added Fred and Randy quickly. 

"We'll all stand by him," announced Spouter. "Of course, you fellows brought the goats here, but I think we had as much to do with the rest of it as any of you." 

Andy hurried off, and lost no time in making his way to the door of Colonel Colby's private office. The door had been left slightly ajar, so it was an easy matter for him to take in most of what was said. 

"Gracious! this certainly is growing serious," he murmured to himself, when Asa Lemm made the declaration that he would go down to Haven Point and have Jack and Walt arrested. "I guess I had better let the others know about it," and he scurried upstairs again. 

"Oh, Andy! do you suppose old Lemon will really have them locked up?" questioned Fred anxiously, after being told of what was taking place below.
