`` They are after us yet , '' panted Flapp , after running for several minutes . `` Say , I ca n't keep this up much longer . '' `` Come in here , '' was Dan Baxter 's quick reply , and he shot into a small lumber yard attached to a box factory . It was now after six o'clock and the factory had shut down for the day . Once in the lumber yard they hurried around several corners , and presently came to a shed used for drying lumber . From this shed there was a small door leading into the factory proper . `` I reckon we are safe enough here , '' said Dan Baxter , as they halted in the shed and crouched down back of a pile of boards .
