"Listen and I will tell you the story. I must be quick, for Mr. Bowman may be back any minute."
"There he is now."
"Meet me to-morrow at ten in the morning just back of the place where you were sitting when I took you on board the boat, and I will tell you all. In the name of Mr. Wainwright I will agree to pay you a hundred dollars, if by your help I recover the bonds."
"It's a bargain!" said the boy, his eyes sparkling.

"Who is that boy?" asked Bowman carelessly, as he re-entered the boat.
"I don't know. He asked me to take him for a little row, and I was glad to have him for company."
"I have been taking a stroll through the woods. In fact, I was brought up in the woods," said Bowman with a laugh.
