Happily, I escaped the inconvenience of being held to appear as a witness, and early in the afternoon had the satisfaction of finding myself rapidly borne away in the stage-coach. It was two years before I entered the pleasant village of Cedarville again. I was in Washington City during the succeeding month. It was the short, or closing session, of a regular Congressional term.
"No; I don't; at least, not this time," retorted his father. "But, let me see. You spoke of an engagement to do something this afternoon. What was it?" "I was to have pitched in the game against Cedarville High School." "Go on, then, and do it," replied his father. "I -I can't pitch, now. My nerves are too "
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.
They made a thorough search, but, of course, failed to find any of the acrobatic youth's belongings. "He must have lost them farther back," said Pepper. "Let us look with care as we walk along." This they did, but arrived at the school without finding anything but a coat-button and a yellow lead pencil. Then they walked past the school in the direction of Cedarville.
At the Lanings' place Nellie and Grace came out to greet them. "So you are back!" cried Nellie, blushing sweetly. "Father said you were. He saw you come in at Cedarville." "Yes, back again, and glad to meet you," answered Tom, and gave the girl's hand a tight squeeze, while Sam and Dick also shook hands with both girls. "And how do you feel?" asked Grace of Dick. "Wasn't that dreadful the way Mr.
"Crabtree's work, beyond a doubt," he thought. Before he went to the house he came here, and it was his intention to steal the mare and get away on her. Before starting for Cedarville Dick acquainted Dora with the discovery he had made. "We were fortunate," said the girl. "I would not lose Dolly for a good deal."
It was his purpose to visit Cedarville and repay 'Squire Conant the debt due him: and then, to go across the country to Wrenville, thirty miles distant, to see Aunt Lucy Lee. First, however, he ordered a new suit of a tailor, feeling a desire to appear to the best advantage on his return to the scene of his former humiliation.
"Thanks, Peleg, and perhaps you'll never have one like me again and then you'll be dreadfully sorry." "Or glad," murmured Peleg. "Mum's the word, old man." "Oh, I never say nuthin, Master Thomas; you know that," returned the man-of-all-work. A number of the other pupils had been let into the secret, and, led by Dick, they ran off to the woods lining the Cedarville road.
The Rovers did not forget the Lanings, nor were they forgotten by these old friends. "And now for home. Hurrah!" shouted Sam, on the way to Cedarville. "I must say I'm just a bit anxious to see the old place once more." "Yes, and see father, and Uncle Randolph and Aunt Martha," put in Dick.
"You must be careful that he doesn't get away," said Dick. "Just so, lad; I will be. No one ever escaped from me, not much! Come on, sir!" And he caught Josiah Crabtree by the arm. "This is awful!" groaned the former teacher. "And right here in Cedarville, too, where everybody knows me!" "You should have thought of those things before, Mr.
