CHAPTER IV. 

EXPERIMENTS. 

When Jonas had finished nailing down the corner, he said, "Now there are several experiments, which we can perform with the bellows. I will be the professor, and you two shall be my class in philosophy, and I will direct you how to make the experiments. 

"First," said Jonas, "you, Rollo, may take hold of the nose of the bellows with your hand, in such a way as to put your thumb over the end of it, to stop it up, and then let Nathan try to blow." 

Rollo did so, and Nathan tried to blow. He found that he could open the bellows very easily; but when he attempted to press the sides together again, he could not. He crowded the handle belonging to the upper side down, as hard as he could, but it would not move. 

"What makes it do so?" said Nathan. 

"The air inside," said Jonas. "We have stopped up all the places, where it could get out. The valve stops itself. Rollo stops the nose with his thumb, and I have nailed the leather down close, about all the sides. And so the air can't get out, and that keeps you from bringing the sides together again." 

Nathan tried again with all his strength. The sides came together very slowly. 

"They're coming," said he. 

"Yes," said Jonas. "They come a little, just as fast as the air can leak out through the little leaks all around." 

"I thought you stopped all the leaks," said Nathan.

CHAPTER XXX 

GOOD-BY TO THE BOY HUNTERS 

"I'll kill that monkey!" roared Ham as he ran into the camp and picked up his ruined clothing. "Look at this!" 

"And this!" added Carl Dudder, snatching up the remains of his sleeping blanket. 

"It was the chimpanzee, sure enough," said Dick Bush. 

"Come on after him!" exclaimed Shep. "Remember the reward," he whispered to his chums. 

All presently made off after the chimpanzee. They kept in a bunch at first, but gradually separated, the Spink crowd going one way and Snap and his chums in another. 

"I'm glad we caught sight of him as we did," said Whopper. "Now those fellows know we were not guilty of the rough-housing." 

"It certainly was rough," was Giant's comment. "Three-quarters of their things are ruined." 

"Perhaps they can hold the circus proprietor responsible," said the doctor's son. 

They moved forward for nearly a quarter of a mile, and were on the point of giving up the search and returning to camp when Giant caught sight of a small, cave-like opening on the mountain side. 

"Let's look in there," he said. "See, there is a vest on the ground in front of it!" 

"Be careful---the chimpanzee may be dangerous!" warned Snap. 

They hurried forward, with eyes and ears on the alert. Giant looked into the opening. 

"No monkey here," he announced. "But he has been here. Look!" 

And much to Snap's delight he held up the missing camera. Then he ran into the cave and came forth with Shep's watch, and a number of trinkets taken from the Spink camp.

CHAPTER V 

WOLF'S OFFER 

Jefferson sat in the shade of the bougainvillea and pondered some letters. Austin lounged in a basket-chair opposite and read the _Diario_. They had combined their business as far as possible, but Pancho Brown would not agree to a formal amalgamation. All was quiet. One heard the fountain splash and Betty's typewriter rattle. Sometimes a voice came from the room where Jefferson's Spanish clerks were occupied, but this was all. 

Presently Austin put down the newspaper. 

"The tomato crop was light and the vines are doing badly. It's ominous that the Palma import houses are cutting down their orders." 

"Martinez allowed he wanted to get out of the deal in chemical fertilisers. Trade is looking sick," Jefferson agreed. 

"When I joined Pancho Brown I used to study the accounts and congratulate myself when I saw our credits going up," Austin remarked with a smile. "To feel I could write a cheque for a good sum was something very new. Now I'm bothered because we have money at the bank. I don't see how it's going to be usefully employed." 

"You want to keep money moving. Well, I met Wolf a day or two since, and he hinted he knew about a deal. I wasn't keen, but he said he might come around and see us. I rather expect him." 

"You don't trust the fellow?" 

"Sure thing! Reckon it's instinctive. I like straightforward folks. Wolf's a mystery man." 

Austin looked up and laughed. "He's coming." 

Wolf crossed the flags, and when he stopped by the bougainvillea his face was red. He was fat and his thin, black alpaca jacket looked very tight.
