"Not a thing about it?" asked the caretaker. "He only said that you would give us full instructions." "That's strange!" Canfield observed thoughtfully. "Perhaps he thought we wouldn't want to undertake the job if we knew exactly what it was!" suggested Sandy. "It is a queer kind of a job," Canfield admitted, "but I don't think you boys would be apt to back out because of a little danger." "I wanted to back out several times," laughed Tommy, "but, somehow, these others boys wouldn't permit me to." "Go on and tell us about it," urged Sandy. "Tell us just what you want us to do, and then we'll tell you whether we think we can do it or not." "You've got to find two boys!" replied Canfield. "Mother of Moses!" exclaimed Tommy. "I hope we haven't got to go and dig up blond-haired little Algernon, or discover pretty little Clarence, and turn a bunch of money over to him!" "I think these two boys may have money coming to them," the caretaker replied. "There must be money back of it or the friends of the lads wouldn't be giving me cash to spent in their interest." |
