There is a sort of instinct which enables some masters to tell when a boy in their form is wearing gym shoes instead of the more formal kind, just as people who dislike cats always know when one is in a room with them. They cannot see it but they feel it in their bones. Mr. Downing was perhaps the most bigoted anti-gym-shoeist in the whole list of English schoolmasters.
"Come on mit you!" he cried excitedly in broken English. "Da have got Sam and Stanley and dot friend of yours alretty! Hurry up, or da was killed before we git to help 'em!" "They? Who?" asked Dick, leaping up. "Sophs down by der gym!" And then Max cooled down a bit and related what he had seen. "We must surely go to the rescue!" cried Tom. "Wait! I'll get clubs for all hands!"
"I hear you are helping two of the other girls in a perfectly legitimate way, of course. It is not taking too much out of you?" "Oh, no, dear Mrs. Tellingham!" cried Ruth, fearful that her tutoring would be forbidden. "You are not working too hard in the gym.?" "I do not think so," stammered Ruth. "And this is ridiculous," said Mrs. Tellingham, with a smile.
As the gym. doors were thrown open the members of the new football squad rushed out with joyous whoops. Some of the more mischievous or spirited actually tackled unsuspicious comrades, toppling their victims over to the ground. That line of tactics resulted in many a "chase" that brought out some remarkably good sprinting talent.
But the German would not do this before all eyes in the public, gym. So he and some other well-to-do business men who were conscious that the years had dealt too generously by them in the matter of flesh, hired a small hall and converted it into a private gym. It was all the doings of Dick & Co., just the same. The town was ripe, now, for performances in extraordinary athletics.
Say, I'm goin' to hire a guide in Portland and discover that place sometime. I'd like to see Uncle Jimmy again. I'd strolled into the front office in my shirt sleeves, and was leanin' against the gym door listenin' to Pinckney and his friend slangin' each other and, believe me, it's a wonderful gift to be able to throw the harpoon refined and polite that way!
I'll come out next week. I told him not to bother about next week, but to come out that afternoon that I'd meet him at the gym' at one o'clock and have some clothes for him. He came at one o'clock and I told one of the rubbers to have some clothes ready. When I came back at 1:30 and looked around I couldn't recognize him. 'Where in the world is my big fellow? I said to Jim the rubber.
"What are you going to do with the money?" asked Paul Drew, for Dick really had no need of it. "I'll build a new gym, at Kentfield," was the reply. "Our present one is too small. We need an indoor baseball cage too." "Good for you!" cried Innis. "You're a real sport!" In the evolutions of the airship each one aboard was given a chance to pilot her.
Instead, the Anarchist will flourish a nosegay of blood-red roses. I can't imagine her parading around the gym. bedecked with violets." "Elfreda, you are anything but a chivalrous escort," commented Anne. "I am at least sincere," returned Elfreda, with an affected simper. "I hope those flowers haven't loitered along the way. I must call on my fair lady and see if she has received hers.
This would do you a lot of good." "Maype, if I go in for dis sort of thing, I crowd out some young mans who needs it as much as you do," retorted the German, blinking. "But don't you think you need it, also" laughed the clerk? "Now, led me see," pondered the German. "Young man, you think you gan run?" "I know I can," laughed the clerk, leaping lightly up and down on his soft gym. shoes.
