But you must remember that we have some first-class athletes at this academy." "Oh, I don't doubt it. All academies have them," put in Helen Staton. The first event to come off was the hammer throwing, to take place in the middle of the parade ground. There were four entries for this, Tom, as already mentioned, Jackson, Powell, and a big boy named Larson.
A small portion of the skin below the articulation, with the ulna, remained intact. After an unavoidable delay of an hour, Staton proceeded to replace the hand with silver sutures, adhesive plaster, and splints. On the third day pulsation was plainly felt in the hand, and on the fourteenth day the sutures were removed.
"It was just splendid!" declared Alice Staton to Dick, when it was all over. "I never had such a lovely time in my life." "Nor I," added her twin sister. "But your brother should have had that running race. It was a shame to knock him down." "Never mind," said Tom, who had come up. "All the boys know he can run faster than the winner anyway."
"A bull is after them!" came from Tom. "My stars! but he seems to mean business!" Tom was right, Helen and Alice Staton were running along the highway at all the speed they could command. Behind them, less than fifty feet distant, was the enraged black bull, bent on doing all the mischief possible. "Those girls will be hurt!" said Dick, running forward. "Can't we do something?" asked Sam.
"They didn't look it not by their difference in sizes." "But they did in looks," said Pender. "What are their names?" "The tall one is Alice Staton and the other is Helen Staton. Their father is the local constable, although he runs a big farm for a living." "Do they come here often?" "Pretty often. But they are very shy girls and don't hardly speak to anybody.
Late as it was, they hurried to Oakville and caught the telegraph operator at the little railroad station just as he was shutting up for the night. Having sent the message to their father they made inquiries of the operator and learned that the town boasted of a Judge Perkins and that the local constable was Munro Staton.
The boys, and especially Tom, were worn out with traveling and readily consented to borrow a horse from Munro Staton, on which to ride back to camp. The steed was returned early in the morning. "It's rather a wild-goose chase," said Dick, in talking matters over with his brothers. "But I don't know of anything else to do. Mr.
These gals is Helen and Alice Staton, and they live down the road a piece." The boys tipped their caps and the girls smiled. "We are very thankful to you," said Alice and Helen, almost in a breath. "You are welcome to the little I did," returned Dick. "It was fun to pelt the old bull with rocks," put in Tom. "I'll do as much for you any time," and this caused a laugh.
