"Well, if one of thim fellows robbed the shop he must have visited your
camp, too," said Squire Haggerty. "Did ye see any of thim around?"

Captain Putnam looked inquiringly at the Rover boys.

"I must confess I didn't see any of them," said Dick.

"But we heard from Lew Flapp," cried Tom, suddenly. "How strange that I
didn't think of this before."

"Where did you hear from him, Thomas?"

"At the hotel where we stopped for supper yesterday. A boy who works
around the stables told me Flapp had been there and was very angry
because he had been sent away from the academy. The boy said Flapp
vowed he was going to get square with the Rovers for what they had
done."

"What boy was that?" asked Josiah Cotton, with interest.

The boy was described and, a little later, he was brought over from the
hotel. He was very much frightened and insisted upon it that he had had
nothing to do with the robbery.

"Tell what you can about Lew Flapp," said Dick, and the boy did so.

"That young fellow had been drinking, or else he wouldn't have talked
so much," added the lad. "He certainly said he was going to get square
with the Rover brothers."
