"Silence, Private Rover, or I'll fine you half a day's pay," flung back Tom with a similar grin. "My, but we are some pumpkins," went on Sam, squaring his shoulders. "Wonder how soon we'll get to be a general." "Perhaps at the next general election," suggested George Granbury. "Lieutenant Granbury is fined a peanut for punning," said Tom severely. "Don't do it again and the fine will be remitted."
"See how pale he is getting," came from George Granbury. "Hans, are you going to die? "Don't say the coffee is going to poison him," burst out Tom. "I was reading about poison getting into the coffee at this hotel last week. But, of course " "Did da got poison py der coffee in here?" demanded Hans. "To be sure, put " "How vos dot poisoned coffee taste annahow?" "I'm sure I don't know."
"But what are you going to do next?" "Let them in the dormitory window." Tom led the way upstairs and into Dormitory No. 2. There were four windows in a row, and six beds, three occupied by the Rovers and the others by Fred, Larry, and George Granbury. Going to the corner window Tom threw it wide open. It was growing dark outside, for it was now half-past six.
Isn't that so, Frank?" and he passed the glass to Hairrington. "It's certainly as good as mine, and that's 0. K.," answered Frank; and then George Granbury took the tumbler and declared the root beer was even better than what he had had previously. "It's certainly your stomach, Mumps, my boy," said Tom. "You look kind of funny just like a fellow I knew who got the smallpox."
Then the boxes and packages were hoisted up, and Dick came after. A few minutes later came a slight tapping on the door, repeated three times. It was a signal, and Sam opened the door, admitting George Granbury and seven other cadets from dormitory No. 2. The occupants of several other dormitories followed. "Are we to have Mumps and his crowd in here?" asked one of the newcomers.
"My percentage is more than I expected," said Larry. "I really didn't think I was so well up in military matters. Now, if the boys want me for an officer I'll take whatever they give me." "And that is what I say," added George Granbury. "Ditto, myself," put in Tom. "Even a second lieutenantship will not be declined by yours truly."
The following are the pupils who have passed, given in the order of merit." And then he read the list of names. Lew Flapp came first, Dick Rover next, Larry Colby third, George Granbury fourth, and the others, including Tom and Fred Garrison, followed. Neither William Philander Tubbs nor Hans Mueller were mentioned. "I dink me dere vos a mistake py dot," said the German boy.
A little later Bate came up through the fields, Granbury fell back from the fence and Cleburne and Bate then connected and adjusted a new line with Bate's left brigade refused so as to face the pike and all the rest of their line running across the country away from the pike.
"But if they won't leave you alone, Dick?" asked George Granbury. "Then they had better look out for themselves, that's all," was the reply of the eldest Rover. Dick meant what he said concerning coming back to Putnam Hall for the sake of learning something. He felt that he had lost too much time from school already to lose more, and he pitched in with a vigor that was indeed surprising.
interrupted George Granbury, referring to a calamity the particulars of which have already been related in "The Rover Boys in the Mountains." And then Songbird Powell took up the strain once more: "I love each corner and each nook, I love the lake and love the brook, I love the cedars waving high " "And love the dinners with mince pie,"
