"What's the matter, old fellow?" asked Mr. Bobbsey. "Do you see
something?"
Snap turned and looked at Mr. Bobbsey. Then the dog looked at one of
the locker doors, and, with a loud bark, sprang toward it, as though
he would go through the panels.
CHAPTER XX
AT THE WATERFALL
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey, who had followed her husband
into the passageway. "Snap and Snoop aren't quarreling, are they?"
"Indeed, no," answered Mr. Bobbsey. "But Snap is acting very
strangely. I don't know what to make of him."
By this time Mrs. Bobbsey had come up, where she could see the dog.
Snap was still standing in front of the door, growling, whining, and,
now and then, uttering a low bark.
"What's the matter with him?" asked Mrs. Bobbsey. "Is he hungry?"
"Well, I guess he's always more or less hungry," her husband said,
"but that isn't the matter with him now. I think perhaps he imagines
he sees Dinah's ghost!" and he laughed.
"Snap, come here!" called Mrs. Bobbsey, and, though the dog usually
minded her, this time he did not obey. He only stood near the door,
growling.
"Why don't you open it, and let him see what's in there," said Bert.
"Maybe it's only some of those mice that made the noise," he went on.
"Perhaps it is," his father answered. "I'll let Snap have a chance at
them.
