I rigged up a small receiving station at home but when the war came I had to take it down." "So that outfit was yours, was it?" commented Mr. Fernald. "I noticed it one day when I was in the village. What luck did you have with it?" "Oh, I contrived to pick up messages within a short radius. My outfit wasn't very powerful." "I suppose not. And the telephone?"
Frequently the servants from Pine Lea surprised the boys by bringing them their luncheon there; and sometimes Mrs. Fernald herself came hither with her tea-basket, and the entire family sat about before the great stone fireplace and enjoyed a picnic supper. It was after one of these camping teas that Mr.
I wanted to find out if they were all right. Yes, they're right here. Certainly, sir." The Chief held out the telephone and Clint took it. "Mr. Fernald? This is Thayer, sir. We're awfully sorry, sir, but we got lost last night and had to sleep in a hut near here and we've only just got here a little while ago. We are coming right back, sir."
Fernald was surprisingly complaisant on Monday when the committee from the second team waited on him at the Cottage. He gave them permission to hold their banquet in the village and even said several nice things to them about their share in the development of the 'varsity.
"So you think John Barclay could have saved Bob Hendricks' life, do you, Oscar?" asked Barclay, as he overhauled Fernald coming out of the post-office. "Who said so?" asked Fernald, turning red. "Oh," chuckled Barclay, "I got it from the hired girls' wireless news agency. But you said it all right you said it, Oscar; you said it over to Ward's at dinner night before last."

I want you boys," the colonel saw the clouds gathering and smiled to brush them away, "yes, I want you boys to give me ten dollars apiece." "Ten dollars!" cried Fernald. "Ten dollars!" echoed Frye. "My Lord, man, there isn't ten dollars in cash between here and the Missouri River!" "But the man and his children will starve, and his wife will die of neglect."
The reason for our being here involves the telling of a long story, and we must keep a six o'clock engagement in order to prevent an armed posse from going in search of us. Perhaps you'd better come along, and then we can tell you the story at the same time we tell Mr. Everett." "Who's Everett?" asked Fernald quickly.
The fellows that lives there are called 'Chickens," chuckled the man. "Then there's Billings beyond Hensey, and The Cottage, where Mr. Fernald lives, is just around the corner, like. You can see the porch of it if you look." But they couldn't, for at that moment the carriage turned to enter the gate and their view was cut off by a group of yellowing beeches.
