“How did you meet him?” asked Bob, expecting that Jerry had found his job in some exciting way. But he was disappointed. It was ten o'clock next morning before he awoke, when, to his great surprise, he found new clothes put in place of his own, which had been completely spoiled. "This palace must certainly belong to some good fairy," he said to himself, "who, seeing my condition, has taken pity upon me."

As these reports multiplied they furnished a topic of discussion for all. The American element feared especially the effects any serious clash might have on the work at the dam and openly discussed the possibility that an attack of some sort might be made on the work itself. “Gee whiz, that’s some idea,” said Bob. “We can load our stuff on it and let it float down stream, can’t we?” Turn your steps—and check your ire,.
