"Reff, I want to talk to you," he said, when the bully was on the point of closing the door in his face.
"What do you want, Andy Snow? I'm not feeling well to-night, and I am tired out from a walk I took to Cedarville."
"I won't keep you long, Reff. I want to ask you about the man you met in Cedarville? What's his name?"
Reff Ritter stopped short and showed that the question took him by surprise.
"Man I met?" he stammered.
"Yes, the man you met at the new buildings in Cedarville."
"Who said I met any one?"
"We saw you, I and Major Ruddy and Pep Ditmore."
"Huh! Been spying on me, eh?" And Reff Ritter's face took on its old look of sourness.
"It was an accident. But I want to know who that man was."
