"You fellows simply must do something -do a lot," had been Hi's almost tearful urging as be addressed his fellows at the bench. It was Bill Rodgers who stood before him as Dick twirled the ball, awaiting Greg's signal, which came a second later -a drop ball. Bill swung for it, then looked foolish. Two more bad guesses, and he was out. A second man was soon out, and then a third.
That Hi was deeply disappointed was quite clear from the selection of the profanity with which he adorned this lengthy address. It was never the extent of his profanity, but the choice, that indicated Hi's interest in any subject. Altogether, the outlook for the missionary was not encouraging. With the single exception of the Muirs, who really counted for little, nobody wanted him.
Marse Hi's losin' his las' grain o' sense; but he bettah min' how he capers 'roun'. He's been pussecutin' thet bressed chile long 'nough all kaze she's true teh her 'fections, an' woan give in when he say she shan't hev thet nice, rosy-cheek, perlite young gemmin she's begaged to. Ole Dilsey's done kep' still long 'nough; it's time fer her teh lay down de law a bit.
"If you would only try me I could soon prove to you that I am not worthless." Unconsciously she held out her hand in entreaty. "Here we are, here we are, all off for Boston!" The voice was Hi's. He was just turning in at the field gate with Kate beside him.
He slipped down close to the beach, gathering up all of Martin's garments and the hat and shoes. "Say, it must be fine to have a pretty well fixed father," murmured Ted wistfully. "All these duds of Hi's are of the best quality. I wonder if I'll be able to wear clothes like these when I'm earning my own money?"
I'll go in, and maybe I can challenge those fellows to swim down the pond that will take them away from this point." Ted's face had flushed sullenly at Hi's remark about "mucker schools." At another time Teall might have been ready to fight over a slighting word like that. Just now, however, he craved help against Prescott more than anything else. "All right," urged Ted.
As it happened, they came out near where Ted Teall stood guarding Hi's clothing. "Have you seen Dick?" was Darrin's hail. "Yes; he and Holmesy have run down the road to get some men. Here they come now with the men," Ted answered, pointing. Dick had had the good fortune to find help before going far.
"Yeh! But she ain't like nothin'." Bill was quite decided upon this point. I tried again. "Well, what sort of hair has she got? She's got hair, I suppose?" "Hayer! Well, a few!" said Bill, with some choice combinations of profanity in repudiation of my suggestion. "Yards of it! Red!" "Git out!" contradicted Hi. "Red! Tain't no more red than mine!" Bill regarded Hi's hair critically.
I won't go -too much regard for my health, you know." "Greg, you carry Hi's clothes back," urged Dick. "I'll take Ted with me." "I will not," flared Greg in open revolt. "Be a good fellow," begged Dick. "That's all right," grumbled Greg Holmes. "But I'm no valet to any North Grammar boy. "If you fellows won't either of you do it," protested Dick, "I'll have to do it myself, and -oh, dear!
Dave had said at breakfast that he regretted not being able to go to Wakefield to meet Kate, but that he would be busy in the north field all day. Hi Holler, the Bartlett chore boy, had been commissioned to go in his stead, and Hi's toilet, in consequence, had occupied most of the morning. Mrs.
