"You mean that by getting the papers Felps might keep your folks
from cutting down the lumber on that tract?"
"Yes, and more. Felps may have some way of getting hold of the
land himself, if these papers are destroyed. I don't know the
whole truth of the case, but I know my father wanted the papers
and he didn't want Andrew Felps to learn that they were missing."
"Snap, I think you have struck the truth," ejaculated Shep. "I don't
know of anything else that would bring this Barrock---if that's his
name---to this locality. He must be watching his chance to meet
Andrew Felps."
"Would Felps be mean enough to buy the papers from him?" asked
Whopper. "Why, that would be dishonest!"
"I think that man is mean enough for anything!" burst out Giant,
who was not inclined to forget how badly he and his chums had been
treated by the individual in question.
"If this is true, Snap, the best thing we can do is to go over to
the Felps camp and watch out for this Lusher Barrock," said Shep.
"And that is what I am going to do," answered Snap.
"When will you go?" questioned Whopper.
