The dark eyes that looked back at him seemed filled with wonderment and surprise. Stooping over the cot, Merriwell spoke in his gentlest tones. "How are you, my poor boy?" he said. "They would not let me see you before, saying it was best that you should be quiet and unexcited."
Have you an idea, Merry?" "Never yet have I seen but two men with such eyes," declared Merriwell. "One man is dead. The other man, Alvarez Lazaro, claims to be Del Norte's avenger. I thought him dead, but it must be that he escaped from the burning building on the East Side. How he escaped I cannot tell; but, as it was not Del Norte who peered through the transom, it must have been Lazaro."
"You have had the greatest luck of any fellow I ever saw; but there is a turning point somewhere. You never miss an opportunity to jump on a fellow, and " "Now, you are making a statement that you know is absolutely false, sir!" exclaimed Merriwell.
From the open window of his rooms on York Street Frank Merriwell heard the distant chorus of a rollicking band of students who had been having a merry evening in town. Frank had passed his examinations successfully and had been admitted as a student at Yale.
"In your mind, Sport, old boy." Merriwell seemed to be examining the pitcher's plate, then he looked up like a flash, his eyes seeming to sparkle, and with wonderful quickness delivered the ball. "It's an outcurve," was the thought which flashed through Gibson's mind as he saw the sphere had been started almost directly at him.
For all of this generosity on Merriwell's part, Gage still bore deep down in his heart a hatred for the plebe who had become so popular at the academy. This he tried to keep concealed, pretending that he had changed into a friend and admirer. "Hello, Merriwell," he saluted. "Been having a little whirl with the boys?" "I should say he has!" replied Snell.
"What do you want of me?" demanded Rains, the third time. "I will give you the proofs, and you can carry them to Lieutenant Gordan, who will follow it up, and see that Merriwell is expelled. In that way, I will not get entangled, and no one will suspect you." With one wide stride, Rains reached Bascomb, caught him by the shoulders, and thrust him backward, thus forcing him to look up.
The look on his face as he rolled his eyes toward Merriwell before leaving the room was malicious in the extreme. Frank turned to Walter, who did not seem to know what to do. "Gordon, you have found that fellow out, which is a lucky thing for you," he said. "He would have ruined you. At the same time, I have found out that you had no hand in the sneaking work that has been going on of late.
Tell me the truth, Señor Hagan, are the police still looking for me?" "It's your life you can bet on it, me lad. Frank Merriwell has them rubbering for you, and it's myself who has been watched and shadowed all the time since the night we were pinched. If he had anything good and sufficient against me, Merriwell would have me nabbed in a jiffy." "You're sure the officers did not follow you here?"
I've never been able to prove that Merriwell put the advertisement into the paper, but it is all settled in my mind. It was directly after this that I went into training." Some of the sophs laughed and some showed indignation. "It was a very nawsty thing to do," declared Paulding. "I can't help laughing over it." chuckled Tad Horner. "But of course you ought to get back at Merriwell."
