"Play away, Six!" called out Tom in true fireman style, and directed the stream on Flockley. It hit the dudish student in the chin and ran down inside his shirt collar. "Stop, I beg of you! Oh, my!" screamed Flockley, trying to dodge the water. "Larkspur, grab the hose! Knock that rascal down! Why don't somebody do something?"
Dudd Flockley was glum, for his spending money for the month was running low, and it was going to be hard to pay the wagers he had lost. On the following Saturday the Rover boys went down to Ashton in the afternoon. They had arranged for the hire of a large touring car, with a competent chauffeur, and were to take Dora and the Laning girls out for a ride to another town called Toddville.
I hope he catches it well Rover, I mean," answered Dudd Flockley. Saturday was more or less of a holiday at Brill, and the three Rover boys planned to go to town. Incidentally, they wished to learn if Dora Stanhope and the Laning girls had as yet arrived at Hope Seminary. They had received no letters from the girls since coming to Brill, and were growing anxious.
He did not care to add that when he went to see a young lady it was always Dora Stanhope, and that Tom and Sam called only on Nellie and Grace Laning. "I've been expecting you," said the girl with a pretty pout. "Have Dudd Flockley and Jerry Koswell been there since?" "Yes, both of them came once, and Flockley came after that, but I refused to see them. Mr.
Then, however, the Rover boys settled down to a strong, steady stroke, and forged a full length ahead. "See! see! The Rovers are winning!" shouted Max in delight. "That's the way to do it!" cried Stanley, "Keep it up! You're doing nobly!" "Show 'em the way home!" added Songbird. "Pull, Jerry! Pull!, Bart!" screamed Dudd Flockley to his cronies. "Don't let them beat you!"
"I don't blame him for playing a trick on old Sharp, but to lay the blame on Tom why, that's different." "Will you come along?" "If you want me to." "I don't want to drag you into trouble, Max." "I dink I can take care of myself," answered the German-American student. The pair passed around to the rear of the spot where Flockley and his cronies were located.
But for the time being all went well, and the Rover boys were exceedingly happy. As soon as possible they met the girls and all spent a happy half day in taking another ride in an automobile. From Flockley they gradually learned how Koswell and Larkspur had done many mean things, including putting the glass in the roadway, and using the pencil box out of Tom's dress-suit case.
"Now, Jerry, do him up brown!" came from Larkspur, who was present. "Give him the thrashing of his life!" added Flockley, who had come up. "He has got to spell able first, and he doesn't know the alphabet well enough to do it!" answered Tom. "What's up?" cried a voice from the rear of the crowd, and Dick appeared, followed by Sam.
Flockley wished to bring me to see this game, but I sent word that I was going with papa." "He ought to know enough to stay away by this time," said Dick. He could think of no other remark to make. "Can I get a seat anywhere?" asked Minnie, looking anxiously over in the direction of the grandstand. "I think so. Wait, I'll look." "Hold on," put in Mr. Sanderson. "Just you take Minnie along, Mr.
"It is not all right, and we are going to look into the matter at once," said Dick; and hurried off with Tom and Sam at his heels. They went straight to the room occupied by Flockley and Koswell, and knocked on the door. There was a stir within, a few whispered words, and then the door was opened. "What do you want?" asked Jerry Koswell. Flockley was sitting by the table, reading.
