Dick Bumstead, though not able to attend that day, would come to the next meeting. He thought they would be able to raise a company of fifty boys. This report was considered very satisfactory. Tom Wheeler arose and inquired by what name the new company would be called. "I move," said Robert Ingalls, "that we take the name of the Rossville Home Guards."
"Well, we've got to beat it," said Amy. "Sorry about your car. Is there anything we can do if we ever reach Wharton?" The youth shook his head philosophically. "No, I'll get word to Bumstead before you get there, I guess. Much obliged. I'm sorry I got you into such a fix, fellows. I meant well." He grinned broadly. "That's all right," Clint replied. "It wasn't your fault. Good-bye.
You can tell me more?" he said, resting a moment from his violent exertions. With the unsettled air of one coming out of a complicated dream, Mr. BUMSTEAD chewed the cloves musingly; then, after nodding excessively, with a hideous smile upon his countenance, suddenly threw an arm about the neck of his restorer and wept loudly upon his bosom.
Bumstead was elected President for the ensuing year, and Prof. Chase, in view of a removal to New Mexico, resigned the professorship which he had ably held many years. STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY at New Orleans, located in the most influential city of the Southwest, draws its students from refined Creole homes and from the rude cabins of the remote plantations.
But Dick was destined to a still greater surprise. At the next vote, for second lieutenant, there were five scattering votes. Then came ten for Wilbur Summerfield, and Richard Bumstead led off with thirty-four, and was accordingly declared elected. "Speech! speech!" exclaimed half a dozen, vociferously. Dick looked a little confused, and tried to escape the call.
"The fact is, John, Frank's a good fellow, and if you want to get anybody to do him any mischief hereafter, you'd better not apply to me." "I don't know as he's any better than other boys," said John, sneering. He did not enjoy hearing Frank's praises. "He's better than either of us, I'm sure of that," said Dick decidedly. "Speak for yourself, Dick Bumstead," said John haughtily.
BUMSTEAD sat gynmastically crosswise in an easy-chair, over an arm of which his slender lower limbs limply dangled, and elaborately performed one of the grander works of BACH upon an irritable accordion.
BUMSTEAD would certainly insist upon it that there were two wills, instead of one: and that would be so absurd." "Well, well," assented Mr. DIBBLE, rising to go, "I'm a perfectly square man, even when I'm looking round, and will do as you wish.
DIBBLE, looking back. "I said Divorce," retorted Mr. BUMSTEAD, thoughtfully eating a clove, "Don't one generally involve the other?" The manner in which the great American Adapter is all the time making totally unexpected and vicious passes at the finest old cherished institutions of the age is simply frightful. PUNCHINELLO should prevent it?
Might look for 'em, but like as not they're a mile or two back." "What will you do then?" asked Clint. "Foot it to Wharton, I guess. Maybe I can find a telephone this side somewhere." He reflected. "I guess there's one at Maxwell's Stock Farm about three miles from here. I'll get Bumstead in Wharton to send out and tow me in."
