"An' we got a right, too."

"Sure we got a right," said another of the trio in a heavy, rasp-like
voice. "We'll show Casso what it means to do a feller out o' his
lawful wages."

"Yes; but you look out you ain't caught," added the third man. "He's
got all hands watching to spot us."

"We'll bust up his show, see if we don't," growled the first speaker.

"They must be the fellows who were discharged for drunkenness,"
whispered Snap.

"Yes; and they are laying plans to square up with the proprietor,"
added Whopper. "Wonder what they will do?"

"If they are up to anything unlawful, they ought to be exposed," was
Mr. Jally's comment. He, too, had heard of the quarrel of the
afternoon before.

"I don't care to put myself out to help that circus man," said
Snap. "He is responsible for what happened to that sick boy. At
the same time, I know 'two wrongs don't make a right.`"

The men continued to talk, but in such low tones that the others
could only catch a word or two. Something was said about a lion
and a chimpanzee and a toolhouse, but the boys could not imagine
what the circus men had in mind to do.
