CHAPTER VIII. 

A DISCOVERY. 

While the boys were at work in this manner, Stuyvesant making his ladder, and Phonny his cage, they suddenly heard some one opening the door. Wallace came in. Phonny called out to him to shut the door as quick as possible. Wallace did so, while Phonny, in explanation of the urgency of his injunction in respect to the door, pointed up to the squirrel, which was then creeping along, apparently quite at his ease, upon one of the beams in the back part of the shop. 

"Why, Bunny," said Wallace. 

"His name is not Bunny," said Phonny. "His name is Frink." 

"Frink," repeated Wallace. "Who invented that name?" 

"I don't know," replied Phonny, "only Beechnut said that his name was Frink. See the cage I am making for him." 

Wallace came up and looked at the cage. He stood a moment surveying it in silence. Then he turned toward Stuyvesant. 

"And what is Stuyvesant doing?" said he. 

"He is making a ladder." 

"What is it for, Stuyvesant?" said Wallace. 

"Why, it is to go upon the loft, in the hen-house," said Phonny, "though I don't see what good it will do, to go up there." 

"So it is settled, that _you_ are going to have the hen-house," said Wallace, looking toward Stuyvesant. 

"Yes," said Stuyvesant. 

Here there was another long pause. Wallace was looking at the ladder. He observed how carefully Stuyvesant was making it. He saw that the cross-bars were all exactly of a length, and he knew that they must have been pretty accurately measured. While Wallace was looking on, Stuyvesant was measuring off the distances upon the side pieces of the ladder, so as to have the steps of equal length. Wallace observed that he did this all very carefully.
