"And some of 'em," growled Fremont, "actually have the cheek to carry off honors in scholarship, too. Take Dick Prescott, for instance." "Oh, let the muckers have the scholarship honors, if that's all they want," retorted Bayliss "A gentleman hasn't much need of scholarship, anyway, if he's an all-around, proper fellow in every other respect.
"Well, he thinks that bunch of parsons at the Temple don't make first-rate teachers." "I expect they can teach Claude quite a bit yet. If he gets in with that fast football crowd at the State, there'll be no holding him." For some reason Bayliss detested football. "This athletic business is a good deal over-done. If Claude wants exercise, he might put in the fall wheat." That night Mr.
He was at present acting as his father's assistant in caring for the former's practice, a practice which embraced three or four villages and a ten-mile stretch of country. Naturally I was interested in the Manor estate and its owner. The grounds were beautiful, three square miles in extent and cared for, so Bayliss, Senior, told me, by some hundred and fifty men, seventy of whom were gardeners.
As the word "sneaks" sounded through the car everyone turned around. Bert and Bayliss found themselves uncomfortably conspicuous. At once all the talk and laughter ceased. Stony silence followed. One of the girls was sitting alone in a seat. Bayliss, unable to endure the situation any longer, glided forward, dropping into the vacant place. "That seat is engaged," the girl coolly informed him.
He then put his helm up, and fired his other bow-chaser, and sent the shot hissing and skipping on the water past the ship. This prologue made the novices wince. Bayliss wanted to reply with a carronade; but Dodd forbade him sternly, saying, "If we keep him aloof we are done for."
On his arrival, and while dressing before the game, Prescott had related to the team the mean trick that had been played upon him. He had also told how the case came out in court. "Dodge and Bayliss are traitors to the school!" cried Purcell indignantly. "We'll have to give 'em the silence!" "Hear! Hear!" cried several of the fellows.
Dodge went to his library, despite the fact that he knew his dinner was waiting. There he spread out the extra "Blade" on a table and began to read the featured news story. As he read the elder Dodge flushed deeply. Though the names of Bert and Bayliss were not mentioned, he had no difficulty in connecting them with the ludicrous story. Turning, Mr. Dodge rang. A man servant answered. "Mrs.
"Yes I am sure he was," she said "He was always good too good and generous but if they are mine, I give them to Mr. Clifford. There is nothing more to be said about them." Mr. Bayliss coughed again. "Well that is all that is contained in this casket, with the exception of a paper unsealed shall I read it?" She bent her head. "The paper is written in Mr.
Then, sir, he began to shrivel up. It was like seeing a man cut down in his prime before your eyes. He began to wag his head. "No," said he. "No, no; it's not for such as me. I'm good enough for Seven Brothers, and that's all, Mr. Bayliss. That's all." And for all the Inspector could say, that's what he stuck to.
"I wish you could do something better than newspaper work," said Ann. "I always think the splendid part about America is that it is such a land of adventure. There are such millions of chances. It's a place where anything may happen. Haven't you an adventurous soul, Mr. Bayliss?" No man lightly submits to a charge, even a hinted charge, of being deficient in the capacity for adventure.
