"Yes, I know, Mr. Flockley, but " "Oh, don't call me Mr. Flockley. Call me Dudd." "Yes, and please don't call me Mr. Koswell," broke in another masculine voice. "Jerry is good enough for me every time." "But you must go now, you really must!" said the girl. "We'll go if you'll say good-by in the right kind of a way, eh, Dudd?" said the person called Jerry Koswell.
"You cowards!" cried Dick, confronting Flockley. "Why can't you leave a young lady alone when she tells you to?" "They ought to be kicked out of the house," added Tom. "You you " spluttered Dudd Flockley. He did not know what to say. He gathered himself up hastily and Jerry Koswell followed. "Who are you?" he demanded, facing Dick with clenched fists.
Her face had gone white at the mention of kisses. "Well, let's have the kisses anyway!" cried Dudd Flockley, and stepping forward, he caught the girl by one hand, while Jerry Koswell grasped her by the other. "Oh, please let me go!" cried the girl. "Please do! Oh, Mr. Flockley! Mr. Koswell, don't don't please!" "Now be nice about it," growled Dudd Flockley.
"This has taught me a lesson, to take nothing for granted," he added. When the truth became known many of the students flocked around the Rovers and Stanley and Songbird, and congratulated them on the outcome of the affair. Flockley did not show himself for a long time, excepting at meals and during class hours. "He feels his position keenly," said Dick. "Well, I hope he turns over a new leaf."
"Well, I'll fix it so those girls hear all about this affair." "Good!" cried Larkspur. "That will be the bitterest dose of all." "Say," put in Dudd Flockley nervously, "you don't suppose there is any danger of our being found out?" "Not the slightest," answered Koswell. "I saw to it that all our tracks were covered." "But that fellow Parwick? Are you certain he can be trusted?" "Yes.
And there the talk came to an end, for several other students appeared. Dick walked off in a thoughtful mood. "Deeper and deeper!" he told himself, with something like a groan. Then he hunted up Sam and Tom. "Going with Flockley and that crowd!" cried Tom. "Not much! I won't have it!" And he commenced to pace the floor. "What are you going to do about it?" asked Sam.
But while the water still ran, Tom, aided by Dick and Sam, directed the stream on the sophomores, who were forced to retreat down the hallway. "Now rush 'em! Rush 'em!" yelled Flockley, when the water had ceased to run. "Bind and gag 'em, and take 'em down to the gym. We can finish hazing 'em there!" "Get into the room!" whispered Dick. "Hurry up, and barricade the door!"
"Did you see that fine athletic field beyond the campus?" returned Sam. "That means baseball and football galore." Having walked around the outside of the various buildings the Rover boys made their way to the highway to watch for the coming of Tom. Hardly had they reached the road when they saw a crowd of six students approaching. Among the number were Dudd Flockley and Jerry Koswell.
Let 'em go!" was the rallying cry, and then whack! whack! whack! down came the rubber clubs and the sticks on the backs of the second-year students. "Fight 'em off!" came from the sophomores. "Chase 'em away!" yelled Dudd Flockley; but hardly had he spoken when Max discharged the squirtgun, and the water took Flockley in the eye, causing him to yell with fright and retreat.
It had angered him to think Nellie had been seen in the company of Flockley and his cronies, and he was for "having it out" without delay. "Well, you'll have to lead the way," said Dick. "I'm not going to make a call and have Dora send down word that she can't see me." "She won't do that," said Tom. "I know her too well." "Well, you call on Nellie first." "I'm not afraid," retorted Tom.
