HAL STANDS UP FOR HIMSELF. 

Hal now found himself in a tight situation. Felix Hardwick had him by the throat, and was slowly but surely choking him. 

"Don't! don't!" cried Mr. Sumner, in great alarm. 

"The miserable tramp!" cried Hardwick. "I'll teach him to call a gentleman a thief." 

He continued his choking process, paying no attention to his employer's efforts to haul him away. 

But by this time Hal began to realize that Hardwick was in earnest. He began to kick, and presently landed a blow in the book-keeper's stomach that completely winded the man. 

Hardwick relaxed his hold, and Hal sprang away. 

"Stop! stop!" ordered Mr. Sumner. "I will not have such disgraceful scenes in this office." 

"But he intimated I was a thief," said Hardwick, trying to catch his wind. 

"And he said the same of me," retorted Hal. 

"So you are!" 

"I never stole a thing in my life, Mr. Sumner." Hal turned to the broker. "And I am not a tramp." 

"Then supposing we make it a poor-house beggar," returned Hardwick, with a short laugh. 

Hal turned red. The shot was a cruel one. 

"Hush! Hardwick," cried Mr. Sumner. "There is no necessity for such language." 

The broker turned to Hal. 

"You just made a strange statement, Carson," he said. "How do you know Mr. Hardwick contemplated robbing the safe?" 

"Because I do." 

"That is no answer."

input: CHAPTER XVI. 

ON THE WRONG TRAIL. 

One of the turkeys was finished even to the neck piece, and then both Tom and Sam declared that they were so sleepy they could scarcely keep their eyes open. 

"It must be the mountain air," said Dick. "I'm sleepy, too. Let us turn in." 

"Will anybody have to stand watch?" asked Sam. 

At this John Barrow shook his head. "Don't know as it's necessary," he said. "Reckon we're safe enough. I'll keep my gun handy, in case any animal prowls around." 

The boys laid down and were soon in the land of dreams. Tom and Sam slept near the back wall, with Dick next, and the guide near the opening, which, however, was now completely closed by the blanket. The fire was allowed to die down, for they did not dare to build it up, with such a wind blowing. 

Nothing came to disturb them. Once during the night Dick roused up and heard the distant howling of a wolf. But the beast did not venture close to the shelter, and while waiting for its appearance the youth dropped asleep again. 

By midnight the wind fell a little, and then it began to snow, and it was still snowing when John Barrow leaped up, pushed the blanket aside, and gazed out upon the river. 

"Hullo, we're in for it now!" he cried, and as the boys sat up, he added: "Snowin'--mighty hard, too." 

"I should say it was snowing hard!" cried Tom, as he, too, looked out. "Why, you can't see the trees on the other side, and they aren't more than a hundred and fifty feet off."  1. Was there a gusty wind at midnight?

input: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- An Emirati blogger who has called for reform in the United Arab Emirates is being held in Al Wathba prison in Abu Dhabi, his wife said Wednesday 

Ahmed Mansoor is being treated well, according to wife Nadia, who said she spoke to him Tuesday evening. 

Mansoor's attorney, Abdul Hamid Al Kumity, said he is not aware of any charges against his client, but will meet with the prosecutor's office Wednesday. 

Dubai police have told Al Kumity that two bottles of whiskey were found in Mansoor's house. Alcohol is available at hotels and select stores in the UAE, but Muslims are not allowed to buy or possess it. 

Mansoor's wife acknowledged that here was alcohol in their house, but said they don't drink. The alcohol, in a small unopened box, was probably a gift from friends or family, she said. 

About 10 men, including two wearing police uniforms, picked up Mansoor from his apartment Friday afternoon, according to his wife. 

The men also took Mansoor's passport and laptop and left without telling her where they were taking him or why. 

Fahad Salem al-Shehhi, a friend of Mansoor's who helped him with his website, was detained Saturday evening, said activist Mohammed al-Mansoori. Al-Shehhi was taken from the Emirate of Ajman, where he was living temporarily while his wife studies there, al-Mansoori said. Al-Shehhi has been without a passport for seven years, he said.
