“Now let’s plan how I shall go about it,” said the chauffeur.
Button waited to hear no more, but ran to tell Billy that they were laying plans to capture him.
CHAPTER IX
BUTTON DISCOVERS SPIES IN THE HAYMOW
WHEN Button got back where he had left Billy and the dogs, he found them all gone.
“I guess Billy thought they better hide somewhere until I came back. I can soon find them, however, by running up a tall tree and looking over the place, for even in this twilight I can see Billy’s white coat. Yes, there is a white object about his size moving toward the woods. I will follow it and I bet it will turn out to be Billy. It is too big for a dog, and too small for a cow.” So Button ran after the white object and soon came up to Billy and the dogs.
“There, didn’t I tell you dogs he would find us?” said Billy. “Button, our friends here did not want to leave until you came back. They were afraid you could not find us, and that you would feel hurt at our going off when you had gone to get information for me. They do not know us, do they? That we always understand one another and know that every move we make is for the best and our safety. Well, what did you find out?”
“That the two are at this very minute plotting to capture you so they can get the reward offered by the General,” and Button began to laugh.
“What are you laughing at? Tell us,” said Pinky.
