and annoying them. Mr.. Sauers, In
spite of his crippled leg and his small
stature, had decided to rid his farm
of the marauder, and his brave at
tempt was only saved from n disas-
trous ending by the timely arrival Of
the boys. Naturally, he had been
more than grateful. and since then
had done everything he could to make
the boys outing a pleasant one.
Now the three ConquerOrs, sitting
about the fire, were reviewing this and
other events of the camp in their
minds. Finally Red yawned and got
to his feet.

members of the club had finally real
lied their ambition. Two weeks he
fore, loaded down with tents, blankets
and provisions they had left home.
After a bus ride and long hike that
tired them all and brought Groans of
protest from the stout Perky, they
had reached this place along the bank
Of a little river. 1t was far from any
large towns. and only one farmhouse,
that of MIR. Saucrs, was nearby. Til"
fact that they had been able to get
lots of milk, butter and eggs from Mr.,
Saucrs had contributed in no small
measure to the success of the outing.
The incident to which porky re
ferred had served as Il fine way OF
introducing them to Mr.. SAVERS and
his family. That first night, tired and
hungry, they had made their camp
and at once started for the nearby
farmhouse in search OF milk. 1t was
just at dusk. and as they approached
the house they saw Il man limping to-
ward the barn.
II wonder is that the fellow who
runs the place" Bill Miller. the fourth
member of the club. had remarked.
"iIe looks as though he might be
crippled.
II guess he is" Bob had answered.
Look. What's he going To do? He
has a pitchfork in his hand. and it
looks as though he were ready to use
it."
At that minute the boys saw

they were approaching. They were
too far away to hear what he said,
but they saw the crippled man stop
and wave the pitchforli mcnacincly.
ITS Il tramp Red cried. He's
going after the crippled man. Come
ON, fclloWs.' Ringer gave vent to a
low groWl.
'Dropping their packs, the boys
broke into Il run. As they approached
they saw the evil-lool<ing tramp stride
mp to the other and twist the pitch
fork out of his hand. The Her,
crippled man made a valiant effort to
resist, but his burly opponent Srasped
the Wea pom and raised it over his head.
Get him. Conquerors" cried Bob as
the four boys dashed up. and he
launched himself at the legs of the
hobo in a flying tackle. At the same
instant Red hit him at the waist, Bill
caught the pitchfork, already descend
ing in a wicked blow, and Ringer made
leap at his throat.
4 few seconds later bruised and
beaten man was sinking away from
the Sauers farm. mumbling dire re-
ven2e against the farmer and the
boys who had come to his assistance.
And the crippled man. Mr.. Sauers,
was warmly thanking the Conquerors.
Iie told them that the disreputable
fellow had been hanging about the
farm for several days, until Mrs.
SAVERS and her daughter Ruth were
afraid of him. Finally he had per-
