"If they knew that we were out with all this money, don't you suppose they would be after it? And what could you and Mr.Stone do against such robbers ?" "I've seen rougher customers than they are," said I; and then I wondered if the man I had seen with the Bushyagers back in our Grove of Destiny had not been one of the Bunker boys.
