Lieutenant Gordan was on hand, looking very stern, and asking a few very pointed questions. He fully understood a practical joke had been perpetrated, and woe to the perpetrator if the lieutenant found proof against him. Gordan was stern and as unwavering as the hills in the discharge of his duty.
The city had been long governed by De Gordan, but this wary and experienced commander had unfortunately been for two years dead. Still more unfortunately, it had been in his power to bequeath, not only his fortune, which was very large, but the government of Calais, considered the most valuable command in France, to his nephew, De Vidosan.
"Extry! extry!" bellowed a boy just below her window; "turribul accident on de extry! extry! Latest bulletin Gordan Moffatt big fin cier extry! extry!" Priscilla sat up in bed and listened. So intimate had the insistent boy in the street become that she was drawn to him by a common bond of sympathy.
Ephraim began the stanza over again, roaring it louder than before, if possible: "Yankee Dewdle came to taown 'Long with Cap'n Goodwin " "Sir!" cried Lieutenant Gordan. "Git aout!" snorted the boy from Vermont. "I'm here ter sing, an' I'm goin' ter fill ther bill, by gum!" Then he began at the first of the stanza, and howled straight through it, for all that the lieutenant spoke to him twice.
Barney and Hans declared over and over that they had been bitten by "centipedes," and showed the wounds. The jumbled story told by them puzzled the lieutenant more than anything else. Having been released, the cats had taken flight. Lieutenant Gordan did not say much, but the expression on his face told that he meant to investigate the affair thoroughly.
"What do you want of me?" demanded Rains, the third time. "I will give you the proofs, and you can carry them to Lieutenant Gordan, who will follow it up, and see that Merriwell is expelled. In that way, I will not get entangled, and no one will suspect you." With one wide stride, Rains reached Bascomb, caught him by the shoulders, and thrust him backward, thus forcing him to look up.
In the dusky shadows not far away the cadets were convulsed with laughter they could not suppress. "Sir!" thundered Lieutenant Gordan, "you are making a fool of yourself!" "Ef you don't shut up an' stop interruptin' me, I'll be gol darned ef I don't kick you clean inter the middle uv next week! You ain't ther feller that sot me ter singin', fer your voice is of a diffrunt color than his.
Paul finally observed, in a questioning way. "Sure." "What is it?" "Well, to begin with, I have pretty good proof that Merriwell was the originator and perpetrator of that crawfish joke on Mulloy and Dunnerwust." "What of that?" "I think that Lieutenant Gordan would be able to fasten it on Merriwell, if he knew what I know." "That would mean certain expulsion for Merriwell." "Of course.

By this time Lieutenant Gordan was thoroughly angry, and he declared he would give his time and attention during the next week to the discovery and punishment of the perpetrators of the outrage. "There is going to be an end to this hazing of sentries," he asserted. "Somebody shall be made an example of, and we'll see if that will do any good."
