"Did you fellows follow us into the theater?" demanded Werner.
"We certainly did not," returned Fred quickly. "We were in the theater long before you came in."
"Huh!" Werner was stumped for a moment. "I didn't notice them here, did you?" he questioned his crony.
"If I had I should have taken a seat elsewhere," was Glutts' ready reply. He glared at the Rovers. "I suppose you have been listening to everything we said."
"If you don't want to be heard you had better not talk in a place like this," replied Jack.
"I don't care what they did hear," grumbled Werner. "I'm not ashamed of what I am doing or intend to do."
"If I were you, Glutts, I'd cut Werner," advised Fred. "Captain Dale won't give you any credit for sticking to him after what happened at the encampment."
"I suppose you are going to tell Captain Dale you saw me with him," retorted Glutts.
"I shan't say a word unless I am questioned."
"I haven't forgotten what happened at the encampment," said Gabe Werner, turning to Jack. "Some day I'm going to square accounts with you."
