 When Bob Bangs saw the key ring his face changed color.
 
"Where did you get that?" he demanded.
 
"Got it where you dropped it—at the pool where we left our fish."
 
"How do you know it is mine?"

"If you don't want the key ring we'll keep it," put in Randy, quickly.
 
"No, you won't keep it. Give it to me."
 
"Then give us our fish," said Randy, quietly but firmly.
 
"They are not all your fish. I caught two of them."
 
"The two smallest, I suppose."
 
"No, the two largest."
 
"We lost six big fish and these belong to us," said Randy, and took the best fish from the string. "Bob Bangs, it was a contemptible1 thing to do," he added, with spirit. "I wouldn't do such a dirty thing for a thousand dollars."
 
"Bah! Don't talk to me, unless you want to get hurt," growled2 the large youth, savagely3.
 
"I am not afraid of you, even if you are bigger than I am," said Randy, undaunted by the fighting attitude the bully4 had assumed.
 
"It certainly was a mean piece of business," came from Jack5. "If you wanted some fish why didn't you ask us for them?"
 
"Humph! I can buy my fish if I want to."
 
"Then why did you take ours?" demanded Randy.
 
"I—er—I didn't know they belonged to you. I just saw the strings6 in the pool and took a few," answered the boy, lamely
