“I’m glad to have you come, but you might get into trouble.”
“No, we won’t,” declared Frank with something of his old-time boastfulness. “We can get back any time before morning and nobody’ll ever see us.”
“Where you going to-night?” inquired Ferdinand.
“To the cave first.”
“In the cañon?”
“Yes, I want to see if there’s any more of those nuggets there.”
“You haven’t any light,” reminded Byron.
“No, but I’ve got some matches.”
“I know where the lanterns are,” Frank announced. “They’re in the garage, and I can crawl in through the window. Let’s get them and explore the cave.”
“Yes, let’s do,” Ferdinand said eagerly. “Come on, Bad. You and I’ll go an’ get the lanterns, while the rest wait here for us.”
