CHAPTER XXV.
THE BEGINNING OF THE GRAND HUNT Dave's announcement produced a little sensation, and for the moment his chums stared at him in astonishment.
"Come to think of it, that man does look like the little newsboy," said Roger, slowly.

"Do you suppose they can be related ?" "I'd hate to think that Charley Gamp was related to such a fellow," said Phil.

"Snogger isn't a nice sort to have anything to do with." "Mr.Endicott said he didn't use to be so bad," answered Dave.

"It is only lately--since he went to work for Mr.Merwell--that he has grown dissolute." "Maybe he is sorry that he left the Endicott place," said the senator's son.

"I'll wager he has no such nice times at the Triple X Ranch as he had at the Star." "Not if all the cowboys are like those who came to our entertainment," said Phil.
