Did you kill any bears or Indians?" "Getting high-toned, hiring a carriage to bring you." So the cries rang out, as the three-seated carriage driven by Amos Darrison rolled up to the front of Putnam Hall. A crowd of cadets had rushed forward to greet the newcomers. "Where is Andy Snow?" asked Pepper, as he leaped to the ground. "He went past on horseback like a streak!" cried Bob Grenwood.
Both Ritter and Baxter did their best to gain the votes dropped by Henry Lee and Paul Singleton. "I will read the result," said Captain Putnam, a few minutes later. And amid a breathless silence, he read the following: "Whole number of votes cast, 83. Necessary to a choice, 42. Robert Grenwood has 5. Reffton Ritter has 10. Daniel Baxter has 12. Bart Conners has 56."
Pepper has his eyes open for the appearance of the students from Pornell. At first a few came in and took a stand in a corner, out of the way. They did not belong to the Bock crowd and seemed to be content to behave themselves. "Maybe Roy Bock got cold feet and stayed away," said a cadet named Melmore. "No, here he comes!" cried Bob Grenwood. "And Sedley and four others are with him."
"Oh, are they as bad as that?" asked Bob Grenwood. "I don't know," answered Bert, soberly. "Wait a minute and we'll see if they come around." "Oh, what a crack!" murmured Jack, and then he sat up and stared around him. Pepper was also stirring and he slowly put one hand to the cut on his temple. "Let us carry 'em to the Hall," suggested Bert.
Darrison, will you drive me?" "Why er yes, but it will take time, Captain Putnam, an' my wife wants me to " "I'll pay you for your time, sir," interrupted the owner of the school quickly. "Yes, sir? all right, sir. Jump in an' we'll go right after the runaway." "Can I go along?" asked Pepper. "I'd like to go, too," came from Stuffer Singleton. "So would I," added Bob Grenwood.
Both Dave Kearney and Harry Blossom will run against him, and so will Bob Grenwood, and they all have their friends." "Well, let the best fellows win, say I!" cried Andy, and then he ran off, to do some fancy "stunts" in the gymnasium.
"So it is," responded Bob Grenwood, the quartermaster of the school battalion. "How in the world did he get on that horse?" "It's the one that was hitched to the carryall," put in Billy Sabine, another cadet. "Something is wrong." "Let's tell Captain Putnam," said another. "Whoa! whoa!" yelled Andy, frantically, when he realized that the horse was not going to pass into the grounds. "Whoa, I say!
"Hurrah for Harry Blossom!" was the cry, and the newly-elected captain of Company A was congratulated on all sides. This election was followed by that for a captain for Company B. Here the struggle was as fierce as before, but Dave Kearney won out on the sixth ballot. Then came ballots for the lieutenants, and Bob Grenwood came out strong with fifty-five votes.
"Snow, are you hurt much?" asked Captain Putnam, kindly. "The horse is gone. You are safe." "Oh!" gasped poor Andy, and then he stared around in bewilderment. "I I was hung up in the the tree, wasn't I?" "If you were, you must have dropped down," answered Bob Grenwood. "Yes. I remember now. I got caught by the throat and then I dropped and that's all I know. Where is the horse?"
