CHAPTER ITHE HALT ON THE ADIRONDACK CABBY "Where's Touch-and-Go Steve, fellows?" "Why, Max, he slipped away with his little steel-jointed fishing-rod assoon as he heard you say we'd stop here over night. And I saw himpicking some fat white grubs out of those old rotten stumps we passed atthe time we rested, an hour back.
