He looked at his brothers, and saw that they, too, were out of sorts. The passing of the carryall put a damper on matters, and the girls felt it. They talked with the Rovers and Songbird a few minutes longer and then turned in one direction while the Brill students turned in another. "Fine lot of girls," was Songbird's comment. "Very nice, indeed.
They held a meeting in Dick's room and asked Songbird's advice. "Send them the nicest things you can buy," said the would-be poet. "I am going to send a young lady a gift a beautiful autograph album, with a new poem of mine, sixteen verses in length. It's on 'The Clasp of a Friendly Hand.

One thing is sure, something very much out of the way has happened, or Dick wouldn't have sent that telegram." "Perhaps Pelter, Japson & Company haven't been as honest as they promised to be. Maybe they are holding back some of the securities that belong to dad." "That may be so, too. At the same time, you must remember that Songbird's uncle is our attorney, and I don't think Mr.
