Every member of the House from Putnam County, for instance, was seen by one of these indefatigable captains, and if the member had a mortgage or an ambition, or a wife and family that made life a problem, or a situation on the railroad or in some of the larger manufacturing establishments, let him beware!
As he bowled along, little did he dream of how long it would be before he should see dear old Putnam Hall again. While passing the Stanhope cottage Dick saw Dora at work over a flower bed in the front garden. "Just going to Cedarville on a little errand," he shouted, and waved his hand to her, and she waved in return. In the back garden was Aleck, and the negro, flourished a hoe as a salute.
Jaggers, with the air of the Grand Inquisitor, appeared on the platform with his head-lad, Rushton. The trainer entered into talk with a man whom Albert informed his mistress was a cop in plain clothes. "Place swarms with 'em," the youth whispered. "And Ikey's Own. They're takin' no chances." In fact, Mocassin and her two stable-companions were travelling on the same train as the Putnam horse.
"Of course it is very aggravating," replied Master Putnam soothingly, "but then you know as Master Parris says, that all these earthly disappointments are our most valuable experiences teaching us not to set our hopes upon worldly things, but upon those of a more enduring and satisfying character."
"Miss Putnam, children, has made a complaint to the police that you tracked fresh tar over her porch and sidewalk, and she wants you to clean it off. That was why Mr. Dougherty came tonight." "We won't either clean it off!" cried Brother angrily. "Serve her right to clean it off herself; mean old thing!" "Don't let me hear you talk like that again," said Daddy Morrison sternly.
He reported to General Webb to this effect, and to his astonishment that cowardly commander ordered him to make no mention of the approach of the French army, though he agreed with Major Putnam that it was destined for the reduction of the fort on the lake.
"And Fred Garrison came in only one yard behind Gray, too, and Tubby is a pretty good fourth." "This is Putnam Hall day, thank you!" The cheering increased, and Tom was immediately surrounded by a host of admirers. Gray felt very sore, and wanted to leave the pond at once, but before he could do so Tom skated up to him and held out his hand. "You came pretty close to beating me," he said.
"I'll shingle you!" roared William Philander Tubbs, and rushed away to escape his tormentors. In the end he found another shoe, but it was not the one he wanted, for that had been rolled up in the blankets by Tom and was not returned until Putnam Hall was reached. Drums and fifes enlivened the way as the cadets started for the military academy.
The sergeants were working with squads; Generals Lee and Ward and Green and Putnam and Sullivan with companies and regiments from daylight to dark. Jack was particularly interested in Putnam a short, rugged, fat, white-haired farmer from Connecticut of bluff manners and nasal twang and of great animation for one of his years he was then fifty-seven.
"Well, nearly that," grinned the first speaker. "Gordon hasn't struck out a man." "And still he is sore because Putnam is going to put Merriwell in! I suppose that is natural, but Hi, there! look a' that! Great Scott! what sloppy work! Did you see Newton get caught playing off second? Well, that gives me cramps! Come on; he's the last man, and we'll have to go out."
