The captain stood by the ballot box, and up came the file, Major Conners first and Captain Blossom following. In a few minutes all of the eighty-seven ballots were in the box, and then began the sorting out.
I think them just mean enough, too, for they are down on Major Ruddy and Pepper Ditmore." "If they are guilty, I'd like to have them court-martialed!" muttered the commander of Company A. "Such underhand work is a disgrace to Putnam Hall!" "Wait and see if it can be proven," answered Bart Conners.
"Very well, I will look into the matter immediately after breakfast." Scarcely had Josiah Crabtree spoken when Dan Baxter appeared at the door. "I want to tell you something!" he said sourly. "I want somebody locked up." "Locked up?" queried the startled teacher. "What is wrong?" And as he asked the question Bart Conners looked on with interest. "I'll tell you!" burst out Dan Baxter.
Jimmy later learned that it had been chewed off in a rough and tumble fight in a Chinese joint on the Pacific coast. Sergeant Conners greeted him pleasantly, the assistant district attorney, somberly. He did not hold with being on pleasant terms with criminals. Conners said: "'Fingy', this is Professor Brierly, he is gonna ask you some questions." "How de do, Prof. I heard about ye.
"Well, Andy, have you made up your mind how you are going to vote?" "Sure I have," replied the acrobatic youth. "I am going to vote for Bart Conners for major, since Jack don't want to run again." "That's the way I am going to vote, too." "How about the two captains?" asked Joe Nelson. "Well, I think I'll vote for Dave Kearney for one," answered Pepper. "I am not so sure about the other."
"No, except that it corroborates a theory I had about the matter. It merely fits in with the rest of the devilish pattern." No difficulty was encountered when the three men came to the Tombs. Sergeant Conners was there ahead of them. He was not going to permit the prisoner to work a sympathetic gag on the old scientist. Conners realized that Brierly had considerable influence.
In a few minutes the drums commenced to roll and out on the parade ground poured the cadets and their officers. Jack had buckled on his sword, and so had Henry Lee and Bart Conners. The cadets had their guns, that is all but the band, who carried their drums and fifes, and the color sergeants, who carried Old Glory and the Putnam Hall banner.
The Deans little knew then how much trouble Captain Chad Buford, whose daring service against guerillas had given him great power with the Union authorities, had saved them how he had kept them from arrest and imprisonment on the charge of none other than Jerome Conners, the overseer; how he had ridden out to pay his personal respects to the complainant, and that brave gentleman, seeing him from afar, had mounted his horse and fled, terror-stricken.
"Want a roll in it, Fred?" questioned Bart Field. "Not exactly. I was thinking of a snowball fight." "That's the talk! Let us get up a fight after school hours!" cried Bart Conners. Pepper was at the window. Slyly he raised the sash and scooped up a big handful of snow from the broad ledge outside. Andy was nearby, bending over, lacing up his shoe.
You mean that Company B will bury Company A out of sight!" "Hi, Major Ruddy! What side are you going on?" queried Bart Conners, who still commanded Company B. "He is coming on our side!" answered Henry Lee, the captain of the other company. "Well, I can't fight on both sides," answered the young major with a laugh. "Go with the company that wins!" suggested Pepper, with a grin.
