Anderson Rover, stating that Alexander Pop would arrive in Cedarville on Tuesday and might remain at Mrs. Stanhope's cottage as long as the lady and the boys wished. "I wish Aleck to be near you," wrote Mr. Rover. "It alarms me greatly to hear of the trouble that you are having. It seems to me that our family are bound to be in hot water all the time. I cannot understand Arnold Baxter.
"Ditmore, you said the barrels belonged to you?" went on the owner of the school. "Yes, sir. I bought them from the tar-roofer in Cedarville and he delivered them. We were going to have a great bonfire and we did!" And The Imp said this so dryly that even Captain Putnam had to smile.

The letter ran as follows: "JOSIAH CRABTREE, A. M., Cedarville, N.,Y. "CHICAOO, January 1, 189-. "Dear Sir: You have been recommended to us by a New York scholastic employment agency as a first-class teacher in mathematics, history, and other branches.

You remember bringing me one postmarked Cedarville?" "Yes, I wondered at the time who it could be from." "You will find it on the mantelpiece. I should like to have you get it and read it."

"All right, young man, sit down. What name?" "Richard Rover. I am one of the cadets at Putnam Hall." "Just so. Trouble at the Hall, I presume? Anything connected with that celebration last night?"
