"They left Cedarville secretly, and I got the news quite by accident from Frank Harrington, who happened to see them off." "I knew they were going, sooner or later," replied Dick. "Mrs. Stanhope was rather ill, as you know, and needed a change of some sort." "I was wondering if she didn't want to get out of the way of Josiah Crabtree, who is just out of prison," continued Larry.
A few minutes later, as he could not furnish bail, he was led to a cell and locked up. As soon as Crabtree was disposed of, Tom left the jail to find his brothers. This was no easy matter, and it was not until well along in the afternoon that he discovered Dick, Sam, and Detective Trigger down by the lake shore nearly a mile from Cedarville. "Any luck?" he asked. "Not a bit," replied Dick.
Tell the head waiter I sent you in." "Yes, sir," said Jack, and he and Fred hurried off to the mess-hall. The waiter was inclined to grumble a little at having to serve them at such a late hour, but, nevertheless, he got them plenty to eat, and they pitched in as only hungry boys can. On the following morning came word from Cedarville that Mr.
"They are at their city home just now; I got a letter day before yesterday," answered the former major of the school battalion. He did not deem it necessary to say the letter was from Laura Ford. "Let us telegraph to them," said Pepper. "But what about the thief? We ought to get right after him." "We can tell Jed Plodders," said the farmer. "He's the Cedarville constable and pretty smart, too."
Banks' natural line of retreat led through Winchester, and the Confederate advanced guard at Cedarville was two miles nearer that town than were the Federals at Strasburg.
I afterward learned, during the evening, that this man's name was Harvey Green, and that he was an occasional visitor at Cedarville, remaining a few days, or a few weeks at a time, as appeared to suit his fancy, and having no ostensible business or special acquaintance with anybody in the village.
The telegraph office at Cedarville was not a large place, and but few private messages were received there. As Dick drove up the operator looked at him and at Snuggers. "Hullo, I was just going to send a message up to your place," he said to the utility man. "All right, I'll take it," replied Snuggers. "You can pay me for the messenger service," he added with a grin.
As I walked through Cedarville on that day, the whole aspect of the place seemed changed. I questioned with myself, often, whether this were really so, or only the effect of imagination. The change was from cheerfulness and thrift, to gloom and neglect.
"We are off!" shouted Pepper, gaily. "Farewell to Cedarville and ho! for Putnam Hall!" "Wish I had room, I'd turn a handspring for you," came from Andy, who was quite an acrobat. "Now don't you cut up any monkey-shines," pleaded the driver of the carryall. "That new hoss won't stand for 'em." "All right, Peleg, I'll keep as quiet as a lamb without a tail."
But you must have one," and the girl promptly pinned one of the largest in his buttonhole. "This is more than comfortable," said Mrs. Stanhope, with a sigh of satisfaction. And then she sank down in an easy chair to rest, for the long journey from Cedarville had greatly fatigued her. In the meantime the other boys had taken the Lanings to another double stateroom, equally luxurious.
