A man who has been dropped is a "bilger," whether he comes back or not. A "bilger" is further described as "one who used to be in the game, and is now only on the outside looking in." Dave Darrin's standing for the year was two-eighty-seven. Dan's was two-eighty-two. None of these young men were in the "savvy" section, but all had passed with sufficient credit for the first year.
"All in?" the midshipman called. A light snore from Dave Darrin's throat answered. In his left hand the discipline officer carried an electric pocket light. A pressure of a button would supply a beam of electric light that would explore the bed of either midshipman supposed to be in this room. But the officer saw Midshipman Darrin plainly enough, thanks to beams of light from the corridor.
"Don't let him put it over you, David, little giant!" warned Dan, as the latter and Farley vigorously massaged Darrin's muscles. "He all but had you, and there isn't any need of making Pen a present of the meeting." "I tried to get him," muttered Dave in an undertone, "and I shall go on trying to the last. But Pennington is pretty nearly superior to anyone in my class."
As Navy and Rustlers again collided in the fray, Jetson watched Dave's work narrowly, furiously. "Darrin always was a smooth one," Jetson declared angrily to himself. "And now, just because he raised a 'holler', my football prospects are set back for this year. Probably I can't make the eleven next year, either. And it's all Darrin's fault!" In forming the second half the coach called: "Mr.
When my back was turned for an instant Cantor took the envelope, which I did not immediately miss, as I had no idea that any of my officers was untrustworthy. Cantor hurried to his own quarters, and there discovered the blank paper substitution. Furious, yet hating Darrin for reasons which you now understand, Cantor hastened to Darrin's room and slipped the envelope in under Darrin's mattress.
It was all right for Belle Meade to send her "love" to Prescott, for they were old friends, and Belle was known to be Dave Darrin's loyal sweetheart. With Laura the situation was painfully different. She and Dick had been schoolboy and schoolgirl sweethearts, after a fashion, but Dick had never openly declared his love for her. Would he misunderstand, and think her unwomanly?
All the particulars of that spiritedly fought disaster will be found in the fourth volume of the Annapolis Series, entitled "Dave Darrin's Fourth Year At Annapolis." A lot of the cadets who felt sorry for "Doug" came to his room. "I haven't altogether gotten it through my weak mind yet," confessed the disheartened Army football captain.
Then, with only one lantern burning dimly, six sturdy but wondering high school boys rolled themselves in their blankets. Just as five of them were dozing off uneasily Dave Darrin's voice sounded quietly: "That thing couldn't have been a joke rigged up on us, could it?" "A joke?" rumbled Reade. "No, sir! That face was real enough to suit the most particular individual.
Henkel, sir," continued Lieutenant Nettleson sternly, "it has long been a puzzle to the discipline officers why Mr. Darrin should so deliberately and senselessly invite demerits for lack of care of his equipment. You may now be certain that you will be accused of all breaches of good order and discipline that have been laid at Mr. Darrin's door. Have you anything to say, sir."
But Darrin's grip on the fellow's arm tightened so alarmingly that the Greek thrust his left hand down into a trousers pocket, then produced the vial, which Darrin pocketed. "So this is Brimmer's work and Brimmer was at one time Henkel's roommate and crony!" flashed swiftly through Darrin's mind. "Oh, the scoundrel!" "Some one ees coming, sare," warned Tony. "Let me go, sare."
