"Because he said you didn't treat him well, and begged to stay."
"Young man, do you know I could have you arrested for abducting my nephew?" demanded Wolverton, angrily.
"Was it my fault that he hid himself on my boat?"
"Where is he now?" asked Wolverton, abruptly.
"He left the boat at a point on the way."
"Where was it?"
"You must excuse my answering that question. Sam wouldn't like it."
"What difference does that make?"
"Sam is my friend. I think, however, you will soon know, as he means to come back."
Wolverton smiled triumphantly.
