CHAPTER I
STARTING FOR CHERRY BLOSSOM MINE
“So-long, boys! We’ll look for you back in ten days or two weeks, Frank!”
“Sure, dad; but don’t worry if we fail to show up by then. Something might happen to detain us at the mine, you know!”
“Send word, if you can, son. I suppose I ought to go with you myself; but that game leg still troubles me on a long ride. Besides, you and Bob have done so well lately, that I think it would be safe to trust anything in your hands.”
