The boys stole around the side of the cabin. Then they stepped suddenly across the threshold.
With an exclamation of surprise, Hanleigh swung around, facing them.
“Good-day, Mr. Hanleigh,” said Frank. “I see that you have decided to pay us a little call.”
The man said nothing. He merely glared at the boys. They could see that he was estimating his chances of escape, but they barred the doorway.
“Why don’t you wait until we’re all at home?” asked Joe.
“You boys have no right here, anyway,” growled the intruder.
“Did you ask Mr. Jefferson about it?” inquired Frank sweetly.
“I came back here to look for something I lost the other day.”
“What other day? The day you came and stole all our supplies?”
“I don’t know anything about your supplies. I mean the day I was here when you fellows first arrived.”
