"I would just as soon read now," said Sam. "The magazines look mighty
interesting."
Just then Fred Garrison came in, accompanied by George Granbury. They
had been down to Cedarville to purchase some skates and a new pair of
shoes for George.
"Hullo, what do you think we saw in Cedarville!" cried Fred, as soon as
he caught sight of the Rovers.
"Lots of snow," suggested Tom dryly.
"Yes--and more."
"A mighty dull town," suggested Sam.
"We saw Dan Baxter."
"What was he doing?"
"He was walking down the street. And who do you suppose was with him?
Mr. Grinder!"
"Grinder!" came simultaneously from Tom and Dick.
"Yes, Grinder. And they seemed to be on good terms with each other," put
in George.
"I could hardly believe my eyes at first," went on Fred. "But there they
were, as plain as day."
"It's very odd," mused Dick. "What should bring them together?"
Nobody could answer that question.
"I don't believe they are up to any good," said Tom.
"I hope Grinder doesn't join hands with Baxter in plotting against us,"
came from Dick.
