Dreer put up a half-hearted defence then, and for a moment the two boys circled about on the dusty sidewalk, Dreer pale and plainly scared, Amy smiling and deliberate. Then came a feint at Dreer's body, a lowering of his guard and a quick out-thrust of Amy's left fist. The blow landed on Dreer's cheek and he went staggering backward against the palings. He was too frightened to cry out.
Ken saw that Arthurs was white in the face when he left the room. They went out together, and Worry handed Ken a card that read for him to take his examinations at once. "Are you up on 'em?" asked the coach, anxiously. "I I think so," replied Ken. "Well, Peg, good luck to you! Go at 'em like you went at Dreer's hit."
The Long White Lima and Dreer's Improved Lima are the only sorts needed. The Indians in their succotash taught us long ago to associate corn with beans, and they hit upon a dish not surpassed by modern invention. This delicious vegetable is as easily raised as its "hail-fellow well met," the bean.
"I suppose he will report it," said Penny. "If he does, and Mr. Fernald believes Dreer's story, it'll cost me that scholarship." "I don't see why he should believe Dreer any more than you and me," Clint objected. "I'm afraid he will want to. He hates to have fellows fight. I'm glad you kept out of it, anyway." "I'm not! It wouldn't have made so much difference with me, Durkin."
"Now you keep away from me or you'll get worse. Keep away, I tell you!" But Penny Durkin suddenly jumped and landed, beating down the other's guard. Dreer staggered back, ducking his head, and Penny shot a long arm around in a swinging blow that caught the other under his ear and Dreer's knees doubled up under him and he sprawled on the threshold of his room. "Durkin!" cried Clint. "Stop it!"
"If that door was on this side I'd have broken it open long ago and done murder!" Clint laughed and inquired: "Who rooms on the other side?" "Schuman and Dreer." The contemptuous tone of his reply caused Clint to ask: "Anything wrong with them?" "Oh, Schuman's all right, I guess, but Dreer's a pill."
Speed 'em, curve 'em, strike him out, hit him anything!" Ray was left-handed, and he stood up to the plate perfectly erect, with his bat resting quietly on his shoulder. He stepped straight, swung with an even, powerful swing, and he hit the first ball clear over the right-field bleachers. It greatly distanced Dreer's hit. "What a drive!" gasped Ken. "Oh!" choked Worry. "That's enough!
What for?" "Oh, it's some of Dreer's funny work," replied Penny. "He had it in for me because for something that happened a while back, and he got Beaufort to pick a quarrel with me." "What was the something that happened, Durkin?" "I'd rather not say, Mr. Daley. It it had nothing to do with this." "What do you say, Thayer?" "Penny's told it just the way it happened, sir.
The man's eyes twinkled appreciatively as he returned Amy's ingenuous regard. "I see that my offer of good offices was premature. Pray let the argument proceed. With your permission I'll stand by and see that everything is as it should be." Dreer's amazement was ludicrous. "You you mean you're going to let him knock me down again?" he demanded incredulously.
Gee, I must get on!" "I wouldn't hurry," said Amy. Something in his tone caught Dreer's attention and he glanced around apprehensively to find Amy removing his coat. "Wha what do you mean, you wouldn't hurry?" he asked uneasily. Amy hung his coat on a paling and placed his cap on top. Then he tugged his belt in another hole. And all the time he smiled quite pleasantly.
