"Nothing'; but I thought you might. When things turned out at Farley's as they did it seemed to me that by gettin' hold of him the truth would come out."
"Have you been at that work all this time?"
"Yes."
"Of course you couldn't find him."
"Of course I could, an' if you want him I'll go straight to where he's hiding."
Fred looked at his friend in astonishment for an instant, and he cried:
"Come to the lawyer's with me this minute. You're the very fellow he's been wanting to see."
Five minutes later the two were closeted with Mr. Hunter, who appeared very well pleased with the news brought by Skip.
"How did you chance to find the boy?" he asked.
"It was a good deal like luck. Fred told about he an' Gus campin' by the river, an' I snooped up that way. A lot of us fellers stayed a week in the same place, so it was handy to get around. It was two days before I saw any signs of him, an' then I come mighty nigh tumblin' over his camp."
