thought, and question you a good deal more on your qualifications.
I suppose you would be willing to let this matter remain open for
a few days?"

"Certainly, sir; we are in no hurry. However, until we are definitely
engaged we do not bind ourselves to be ready for your work."

"Where is your camp?" said Mr. Dunlop.

Jim Ferrers explained the easiest way of reaching the camp in a motor
car.

"And I'd advise you to come to our camp, too," Tom added. "You'll
be safer there than here."

"But we would; expose you to danger, too," Mr. Dunlop objected.

"We're rather used to danger," smiled Tom placidly. "In fact, just
a little of danger makes us feel that we're getting more enjoyment
out of life."

"Do you think it a good plan to take up the invitation of these
gentlemen, Timmins?" inquired Mr. Dunlop.

"It's the safest thing you can do, sir," answered Joe Timmins.

"We'll start back, now," proposed Tom. "If you don't drive too
fast you'll give us a chance to reach our camp in time to welcome
you."
