Do you
suppose I am going to give his cub any leeway? Not much!"
Some bitter words followed between the boys and the unreasonable
timber dealer, and then the young hunters began to pack up and
put their belongings in the rowboat.
"Oh, but wouldn't I like to get square with him!" muttered Whopper,
as the work went on.
"Maybe we'll get a chance to square up some day," answered Shep.
"I think he is more than mean."
"Here, leave that cabin alone!" came from Andrew Felps, as Snap
began to knock down the front end with the ax.
"I may as well take it down, as you don't want it," said the boy.
"You leave it alone, I say."
"Maybe you want to use it?" sneered the youth.
"If so, who is going to stop me? It was built out of my timber,
don't forget that, smarty."
"Perhaps you want to steal our outfit," cried Giant, who was boiling
with suppressed rage.
"Say another word, kid, and I'll throw you into the lake!" roared
Andrew Felps.
He came at Giant so threateningly that the small boy had to retreat.
At last the things were stowed on the rowboat and the four young
hunters boarded the craft.
