"I reckon their bills will be so dull by morning, after drilling our tough hides all night, that we won't feel them at all," observed Polly. A low growl from Dippy Orell was the only reply to the remark.
"There's somebody else in the room," whispered Red. "Yes, yonder by the door," said the Kid. "You c'n jest see him." "Don't be a fool," said the gang leader. "There's nobody here but us." "He's wearin' strange clothes," said Red. "He looks like a carpenter by his kit o' tools," said the Kid. "Here, pull yourselves together, men," said the gang leader; "you're dippy, there's nobody here.
Withem introduced the professor and his charges. There were, besides the Lieutenant, Pete Quash, "Dippy" Orell, Cad Morgan, Bucky Moore, "Polly" Perkins and several others, all of whom were introduced in turn, the Rangers solemn as owls, making low bows, sweeping the ground with their sombreros, causing Stacy to open his eyes in wonderment. Lieutenant Withem made the party feel at home at once.
"How was I to know he was honest!" he panted. "He's a hell of a clairvoyant!" With indignation as great the prince was gazing at the blonde secretary; his eyes were filled with amazement. "Am I going dippy?" he demanded. "I sized him up for a detective and he was a perfectly honest crook! And in five minutes," he roared remorsefully, "this house will be full of bulls! What am I to do?
There was a fine array of poppies, larkspurs, phlox and snapdragons; the oleander in its green tub was all a-bloom, and there were six newly opened buds on the rose-bush. Dippy was fast asleep in the sunshine, as if he, too, realized that the garden was not so alluring by morning light.
"This is Dippy," his neighbor corrected him. "You mean Deppy," another said. And so on and so on. There seemed to be hundreds of them, thousands of them, and all on a gigantic picnic. "Which is the quickest way to Berlin?" one called, addressing the throng impartially. "Second turn to your left."
"Of course we do!" shouted the boys. "We don't want to miss a single thing." "No, we don't want to miss a thing," agreed Chunky solemnly. "I see I've been missing a great deal lately. I don't propose to miss another thing as long as I'm out on this cruise." "He thinks he's on a canal boat," jeered Dippy. "Maybe if I do it's because we've got some mules to pull it," retorted Stacy. "Ouch!
"Aw, come off yer perch! Ye ain't so dippy as all that. I say, don't ye know the number of the house ye want?" "N-no, except there's a seven in it," returned Pollyanna, with a faintly hopeful air. "Won't ye listen ter that?" gibed the scornful youth. "There's a seven in it an' she expects me ter know it when I see it!"
"I reckon you'd better drag me. If you're going to have fun with me you'll have to earn it. I don't propose to help you out." "Do you hear?" demanded Dippy in a deep, hoarse voice. "We hear." "Then do your duty!" Two men grabbed the Pony Rider boy up, Tad making no resistance whatever, a little to the surprise of the men who had taken hold of him.
In this way we can mingle with the students and help run things and have a very enjoyable time. It's most fascinating. All of us are dippy over it." "Oh," said I again. "You mean you're going to ruin things for your own selfish interests?" "My dear boy," said Miss Hicks my, but that grated "we're not going to ruin anything. And we may build up the Oratorical Association." That was too much.
