Nils declared loudly: “Before I knew a thing about it, these boys rushed on board and began grabbing some of the best apples.” “Don’t let him fool you,” said Ted when he had listened to the end of the story. “Jerry’s mixed up in this as sure as shooting, and he’s putting on that careless attitude just as a blind.” “I don’t know. I’ve got to think about it some more. P’r’aps I can get him to explain. I’ll try to.” Then, in a flash, he knew he wasn’t beaten! Far from it. As he yanked off his coat he muttered savagely to himself..
