“They are indeed a set of villains,” returned the young man. “And it—hold up!”
He drew rein, and Bob followed suit. They had just passed a cross-road, and looking down it they discovered a crowd coming toward them composed of Barker, Grogan, Raymond, and Casco!
CHAPTER XXXI
BOB GOES IT ALONE
Before the two could draw out of sight they were discovered by Barker, who was slightly ahead of his companions.
“Hullo, there!” he sang out. “There they are, boys!”
“It’s so, for a fact,” said Casco. “Are they alone?”
“Sure, an’ they are,” put in Grogan.
“A good chance to capture them,” suggested Raymond.
“What good will it do?” asked Barker. “The new plan will work all right anyway.”
“Better bag them until the thing is over.”
