"You young scoundrel!" glared Mr. Drayne, glaring at Dave. "Opinions may differ as to who the scoundrel is," retorted Dave unconcernedly. "My own notions of fair play are against holding one of the parties in a fight so that the other may hammer him." "I'll have you arrested for this assault," stormed Mr. Drayne, applying a handkerchief to the bruised spot under his eye.
"Give Drayne the cut?" repeated Wadleigh, slowly, before a group of the fellows. "Perhaps, in one way, he deserved it, but " "Well, what can you find to say for a fellow who acted like that?" demanded Hudson, impatiently. "Drayne helped to win the game for us," replied Wadleigh moderately. "Had he played Filmore would have downed us -of that I'm sure, as I look back.
"Just watch father and son, and see how they seem to be enjoying their talk," chuckled Tom. "There, what do you see now? I thought it would end like that." This was the first time it had occurred to the elder Drayne that his son's character would be inquired into. In fact, Mr.
"I can't believe, sir, that a careful man like Dr. Bentley would let Prescott go on at left end today, if there was good reason why Prescott shouldn't. As we know, from the past, Dick Prescott has wonderful powers of recuperation." "If Prescott should go to pieces, Captain, whom will you put forward in his places" "Dalzell, sir. He's speedy, even if not as clever as Prescott or Drayne."
"Go ahead," replied Mr. Heathcote Drayne, not over-graciously. "It is important, sir, that I speak with you aside," Tom went on. Heathcote Drayne scowled, then stepped to one side, turning and glancing down at Reade. "Well, young man, what is it?" "I thought it barely possible," continued Tom coolly, "that I might be able to offer you a hint or two worth while."
"Let me play quarter, Hudson," whispered Drayne, going over to the acting captain of the "scrub." "Not this afternoon, anyway," smiled Hudson. "I want Dalzell." Drayne fell back. He was not chosen at all for the scrub team. Yet, as he had nearly a score of companions, out of the large football squad, he had no special reason to feel hurt.
You throw down your togs at a critical moment, and tell us you won't play, just because your fearfully sensitive feelings have been hurt. Now, a sportsman doesn't do that." "Oh, it's all right for you to take on that mighty superior air, and try to lecture me," retorted Drayne gruffly. "I'm not lecturing you.
"Yet I am rather sure, in my own mind, that a handwriting expert would pronounce both specimens to have been written by the same hand." "We've nailed Drayne, then," muttered Darrin vengefully. "It looks like it," assented Mr. Morton. "However, we'll go slowly. For the present I'll put this examination paper with our other 'exhibits' and secure them all carefully in my inside pocket.
People turned out to cheer them, and to wave handkerchiefs and ribbons. For Fordham wasn't all bad or rough; not even the High School. The roughest element in the school had captured football -that was all. Some of these boys belonged to the wealthier families, and had been brought up to believe they could do as they pleased. This was the High School in which Phin Drayne naturally belonged.
"Tell that to the marines," quoth Darrin contemptuously. "It was through following on your trail, Drayne, that I discovered the whole trick, and also knew just where to take the police to find you." An hour later Chief Simmons was well satisfied that he had laid the burglar scare in Gridley. Not that the new chief had had so very much to do with the result, either.
