"And she asked the oddest question about Sea Horse Island where papa is going and she spoke of her father I wonder what she meant?" asked Belle. "Time enough to find out after we've revived her," suggested Cora, who, like her mother, was not at all alarmed by a mere fainting fit. Belle, inspired by her chum's coolness, had stooped over and was raising the girl's head.
"Davis and Fremont " whispered Darrin in his chum's ear. "Bayliss, Porter and Drayne," Dick nodded back, softly. "Trenhold, Grayson, Hudson," continued Darrin. "All the 'soreheads," finished Dick Prescott for him. "Or nearly all," supplemented Dave. Indeed, the scene upon which these two High School boys gazed was one that greatly interested them.
The provisions secured from the warm-hearted storekeeper of Morehead Landing enabled them to spread themselves to some extent. And Thad declared that life was worth living again, as he sat there after eating, and lighted his pipe for a smoke. "What so sober about, Thad?" asked the other, when he had been watching his chum's face for some little time.
O, you'd a laffed. We put a pair of number one slippers with blue stockings, down in front of the rocking chair, beside Pa's boots, and a red corset on a chair, and my chum's sister's best black silk dress on another chair, and a hat with a white feather on, on the bureau, and some frizzes on the gas bracket, and everything we could find that belonged to a girl in my mum's sister's room.
A rough and tumble struggle ensued, in which blows were given and taken freely. Snap was struck in the breast and in the cheek, but not seriously hurt. In the melee Shep managed to squirm free from those who held him and he quickly ranged up by his chum's side. "What did you say about our outfit?" he panted. "We've got it," answered Snap. "Come, we had better be going."
After receiving full assurance that the big cup should be his at the close of the show, Link returned to Chum's bench in ecstasy and sat down beside his tired dog, with one arm thrown lovingly round the collie's ruff. Chum nestled against his triumphant master, as Link fondled his bunch of ribbons and went over, mentally, every move of his triumphal morning.
Twice, in gray dawn, the Master found him crouched beside the mound, where, sleepless, he had lain all night. The Mistress and the Master grew seriously troubled over their collie chum's continued grief. They thought, more than once, of sending him away to boarding kennels or to some friend, for a month or two; to remove him from the surroundings which made him so wretched.
He was glad that Geary had come; at once he felt a desire to throw this burden upon his chum's shoulders, to let him assume the management of the affair, just as in the old college days he had willingly, weakly, submitted to the dictatorship of the shrewder, stronger man who smoothed out his difficulties for him, and extricated him from all his scrapes.
It smarted their eyes dreadfully, so that they were compelled to rub them from time to time in order to see at all. Reaching the first landing, Jerry turned to the left. Frank had hold of his chum's coat, for he did not want to get lost in that smoky interior, and Jerry was the one acquainted with the situation. Now they had reached the second flight of stairs.
Dick, who was aware of his chum's dread, was anxious for Holmes. As soon as he had finished dressing he found himself pacing the floor. It was quite a while ere Greg came out, but his quiet, happy smile told the story. "Did they ask you questions about your heart?" asked Prescott in an undertone. "Yes," admitted Greg, while he dropped his blanket and began hastily pulling on his clothes.
