CHAPTER XVI
ON BIG BEAR LAKE
As the Colby Hall cadets came closer, Tommy Flanders and Paul Halliday looked around at them.
“Hello! what do you know about this?” cried Flanders.
“What brought you fellows up here?” put in Halliday.
“Haven’t we a right to be here if we want to?” questioned Jack coolly. He did not like the tone of voice in which the boys from Longley Academy had addressed them.
“Oh, I suppose you have a right to come to Big Bear Lake,” answered Tommy Flanders. “Just the same, I don’t give you any credit for following us.”
“As a matter of fact, we’re not following you,” retorted Gif. “We didn’t even know you were here. Have you come to stay?”
“Have we come to stay!” burst out Halliday. “That’s a good one! You know well enough we came to stay.”
