Now he would spring from the broad back of the gray, and run across the ring, doing a lively handspring, then once more vault into a standing position on the mare. Suddenly the band stopped playing, for the rest that is always given the performers. But Phil did not pause. "Keep her up!"
Alec's notification of his promotion was in the envelope which held his check for the last week in January. He did not see it until he stepped into the bank to have the check cashed, and in his delight and surprise he could scarcely refrain from turning a handspring. So many people were ahead of him that he had to stand several minutes awaiting his turn at the little barred window.
With a snort of shamed terror lest that lump in his throat break loose, Bob sprang upright and began to turn a handspring with variations. "Bet ye can't do this," he challenged thickly. "Bet ye I can," retorted Jim, landing with a thump at Bob's side. It was after supper the next night that the two boys again occupied the fence and the grass-plot.
The celebration along the lake-shore lasted until half-past eleven. Then the bell was rung, and laughing and singing, the cadets trooped off to their various dormitories. "All quiet by midnight!" came the order. "Fifteen minutes yet," cried Andy, consulting his watch. "Whoop-la! Here goes!" And in the joyousness of high spirits he turned a handspring over one of the beds.
"We are off!" shouted Pepper, gaily. "Farewell to Cedarville and ho! for Putnam Hall!" "Wish I had room, I'd turn a handspring for you," came from Andy, who was quite an acrobat. "Now don't you cut up any monkey-shines," pleaded the driver of the carryall. "That new hoss won't stand for 'em." "All right, Peleg, I'll keep as quiet as a lamb without a tail."
Bunny was to make believe he couldn't turn a handspring very well, and Mart would then take the center of the stage. "Here! Look at me do a flipflop!" cried Mart, and then he really did some very good tricks for a boy acrobat. All this while Lucile was pretending to be asleep, and when Mart's tricks were over she was supposed to wake up suddenly.
McCloud made no answer, and Bucks ran on: "For a man that worked out as well as you did yesterday in a trial heat with a billiard-cue, I should say you could turn a handspring or two yet if you had to. For that matter, if you don't want to be moved, I can run a spur in here to your door in three hours in the morning. By taking out the side-wall we can back the car right up to the bed. Why not?
The trumpeter does a handspring in the dormitory, one of his friends joins him, a third jumps on his bed as on a springboard and bounces up and down, his arms balancing, his shirt flying; his neighbor breaks into a triumphant cancan; the major enters abruptly, orders four men of the line he has brought with him to seize the dancers, and announces to us that he is going to draw up a report and send it to whom it may concern.
We're getting away with you." "Fall in here, boys, I tell you," said Si so sternly that Pete Skidmore stopped in his handspring, but seeing the bigger boys making no move to obey, decided that it would be improper for him to show any signs of weakness, and he executed his flip-flap. "Here, you're out, Gid.
"Let's go exploring," said Little Black Bear. "That's the most fun of all!" "All right," shouted Little White Bear, turning a handspring. And away they went, two little bears out to see what they could find in the great, white world.
