"He wasn't there. Lawyer Harvey recognized the fellow, and insisted on his arrest, sayin' that the 'Squire already knew about the case."
"I thought at first it might be some one who had been robbing the stores around here."
"Oh, the burglar has been caught already, an' laid in jail since yesterday."
"But he was only arrested on suspicion."
"There'll be proof enough to convict him, I reckon, an' if there isn't he ought to be sent to jail for six months because of what he has done on the grounds."
Then the conversation was changed to a subject in which the boys had no interest, and Dan whispered to Teddy:
"That settles Long Jim, an' now if your lawyer is as smart as he appears to be it won't take long to show that Hazelton didn't have anything to do with the burglar tryin' to get me in jail," Teddy replied, with a sigh.
"Of course it will. Things are turning out all right after all, an' if poor Sam hadn't been drowned we'd have a reg'lar celebration to-night."
