"I hadn't heard it. Then that puts it up to Creviss." "But who is the fellow who runs the show? Ben says his name is Colonel Ben Robinson, and that he is an old circusman down on his luck temporarily." "Look around and find out what you can. They will not suspect you if you ask questions as they would me. If you find out anything, let me know." "All right, Ted, I'll circulate, and report."
"May have to call on you one of these days, but not now." "Ain't you going after that young imp, Creviss? Say, he's the meanest boy I ever saw. If I was his father I'd make him behave, or I'd bust him wide open." "I understand his father thinks Wiley is just smart and spirited, and is ready to back him up in anything he does." "Ought to make the old man popular." "Not so you can see it.
A dozen of the boys leaped to the ground and examined the cinch. It was true. The cinch had been cut almost through with a sharp knife, and the strain upon it had parted it. There could be no doubt as to what had been intended. As Stella came riding up, she shouted: "The cinch was cut. I saw it. Wiley Creviss did it.
But finally, as the ball was drawing to a close, Ted heard Stella utter a slight scream, and saw her trying to draw her hand away from a young fellow, whose back was turned to him. He was across the room in an instant, and had the fellow by the shoulders and swung him around. It was Wiley Creviss, who had been drinking. "What has this cur been doing?" asked Ted.
He had no sooner done so than Wiley Creviss made a rush at him from the front, while one of the crowd ran in on him from the rear. It seemed an unequal beginning, and Ted was preparing to take on the second fellow. But Jack had seen him out of the corner of his eye, and as he came on the Boston boy stepped backward and threw his right elbow up.
Ted rushed the struggling and cursing Creviss toward it, and by sheer strength lifted him to the sill and threw him out. "I guess we've had about enough of this," he said quietly, when he returned to Stella. "No more mixed balls for mine." As Ted was escorting Stella to the carriage, Billy Sudden ranged up alongside of him. "Look out for Creviss and his bunch on the way home.
"That settles it," said Ted. "Go to him, Jack, and if you don't give him what's coming to him, I'll finish the job." "Git!" said Billy Sudden, opening the door and shoving Creviss out into the street. The rest followed. As Jack stepped into the open air he peeled off his swallow-tailed coat and threw it over Ted's arm.
