"That is something worth knowing -- if we want to put the police
on his track."

"I might have him arrested at once," suggested Dick. "He may not
be here in the morning."

"Why don't you go and have a talk with him?" came from Frank.
"He may get scared and tell you all you want to know about that
mining business."

"By jinks, there is something in that!" cried Dick.

"Don't you get into trouble," warned Tom. "He may prove an ugly
customer if you corner him."

"Let's all go in," said Sam. "He won't dare to do much with four
against him."

The subject was discussed for a few minutes, and they resolved to
follow Sam's advice, Dick to lead the way and learn just how the
land lay.

Then all walked down the alleyway and toward the tenement, little
dreaming of the surprise in store for them.
