"He is the man we are after!" cried Whopper "Don't you see his red hair and red moustache?"
"Let us go around the rocks and get closer in that way," said
Snap, and his suggestion was followed out promptly.
"Well, what do you want of me, anyway, Barrock?" they heard Andrew
Felps say to the man with the red hair.
"I want to talk business," answered Lush Barrock, as he was commonly called.
"Well, get to business, then," went on the lumber merchant. "I am not going to stay here all day. You said you had something to say that would interest me."
"It's true, too, Mr. Felps."
"Well, out with it, then."
Lush Barrock paused and cleared his throat. Evidently he did not know exactly how to go about what he had in mind to do.
"I reckon you know the Barnaby lumber folks," he began.
"Yes," was the short answer.
