As a consequence, the pair named said they would withdraw in favor of Bart Conners if supported for the captaincies later. In the meantime Henry Lee said he would drop out also, since he expected to leave school in June. Once again the ballots were cast, and now it was easy to see that Bart, Ritter and Baxter were exceedingly anxious.
Every Hyacinth of them knew her exact place in nature's garden all except Mary Conners now Ophelia and she knew herself to be a foundling with no place at all. The lonely woman who had adopted her was now dead and Mary was quite alone in her little two-room tenement, free to dream and play Ophelia to her heart's content and to an imaginary Hamlet who was always Burgess.
"Lee has routed 'em out of Virginia," cried the old fellow, "and Buell is doomed. I tell you, little girl, the fight is almost won." Jerome Conners rode to the gate and called to the Major in a tone that arrested the girl's attention. She hated that man and she had noted a queer change in his bearing since the war began.
With Pepper were Andy, Jack, and Fred Century, while on Dale's side were Bart Field, Bart Conners and some other cadets already introduced. "Now, then, Pepper!" cried one of his friends. "See what you can do!" "Don't give him a chance, Dale! Yank him right over the line!" cried one of Dale's friends. "I'll bet Pepper Ditmore loses," said Nick Paxton, who was present.
'Tain't Michael, but Gerald, is your name, an' praise be the Lord but this'll be the happy day for my poor Mona when she finds out the truth. That crucifix with the name of Michael Conners on it was given to your father on his marriage day by the priest that married him.
Treadwell, in the meantime, had pulled on his outer clothing and had stood moodily by, watching Dave's more workmanlike preparations with a disdainful smile. "I'll get the fellow going quickly this time," Mr. Treadwell told Conners. "As soon as I get him going I'll dive in with a punch that will wind up the matter in short order. I've planned to do considerable reviewing of navigation to-night."
"All I had in the apartment was about a quart and a half of gin and a little rye. Not a thing to eat, not even a slice of bread or a drop of ginger ale. "So what do I do? I breaks into a delicatessen store and gets a load of stuff. That was just about ten o'clock, the time the papers say old man Schurman is croaked." Sergeant Conners, who had listened with a sneer now emitted a loud snort.
The prisoner gave the names of four men and two women, Conners jotting down the names on a slip of paper. "That little job, o' yours four years ago in Rye, 'Fingy' you wasn't framed on that was you?" "Well, I guess they had the goods on me all right. But what of that? I done my bit, didn't I?" "I ain't talkin' about that, 'Fingy, I jest wanted to get it straight.
Conners and Brayton were Treadwell's seconds. Since it is not considered fair to have the referee or time-keeper from either class represented in a fight, Edgerton and Wheeler, of the second class, were referee and time-keeper respectively. All of the young men were early at the usual fighting ground.
"How late was it when you retired?" "About ten o'clock." "And when did you get up?" "At the first bell." "And you noticed it was gone at once?" "Yes, for I wanted to lock it away in my bureau, as Captain Putnam warned us to do when the others' things were stolen." "This is strange. Do you suspect anybody?" At this question Bart Conners shook his head.
