Caton, the dignified principal, rose to his feet, a boy whom Jerry from her corner recognized as Dana King, leaped to the front, threw both arms wildly in the air with a gesture that plainly commanded: "Come on, fellows," and the beamed ceiling rang with a lusty cheer. Dr. Caton greeted the students with a few pleasant words. There were more cheers, then everyone sang.
It certainly was a glorious day, as Dora had said, and after the sails were set, there was nothing to do but to take it easy on the cushions of the rail seats. Captain Jerry was at the wheel, but he promised to let each of them "take a trick" in his place before the trip should come to an end. "I jest wish we had another yacht to race with," said the old sailor.
For a moment Durward's cheek flushed at the idea of Lena's being cared for by such as Jerry, but the next instant his heart grew warm toward the uncouth driver who, without any possible motive save the promptings of his own kindly nature, had thus thought of the stranger girl.
He never had a chance, for I did not make a sound," Jerry interposed in German, before the young Boche could make even an involuntary admission. As they approached the base of the mountain where they had parted from Lieutenant Mackinson, Joe, and Frank early that day, the moon reached its zenith, and its beams, reflected upon the white ground, made the night almost as light as day.
She always ran to meet him when he came, and sometimes, when he went away, accompanied him down the lane, holding his hand and asking him numberless questions about Tracy Park and about his little girl, and why she never came to see her. Frank could not tell Jerry of his wife's bitter prejudice against her, and that this was the reason why Maude had never been to the cottage or Jerry to the park.
In vain we looked round on every side for the dinghy; she was nowhere to be seen. We examined the vessels through a spy-glass we had with us. She was not visible alongside either of them. Again and again we swept the horizon, but not a speck could we discover that might be her. "What is to be done?" exclaimed Jerry in a tone of deep grief.
Cuthbert!" she cried. "Going in to see Jerry?" he inquired after he had put on his hat, nodding up at the sign. "I that is, yes, I had thought of it," she answered. "Town house?" said Mr. Cuthbert, with a knowing smile. "I did have an idea of looking at houses," she confessed, somewhat taken aback. "I'm your man," announced Mr. Cuthbert.
"But don't you worry. The secret of laughter made your grief slink away for good. But I must know your name. It will help me to think." "Jerry Elbow," replied Jerry promptly. "Well, Jerry Elbow," said the clown, "now I'll think. You may watch me think, but don't say anything, as I might get to thinking your thoughts, and if our thoughts get crossed there's no telling what would happen."
He half turned on his back and looked dazedly up at the man, who was pressing both hands into the pit of his stomach. His face was very red. He spoke to Jerry hesitatingly, as though he could not get his breath. 'Are you hurt much?" "N-no, I guess not," Jerry replied, sitting up and feeling of a bruised place on his arm.
"Oh, nothing," replied Jerry, with a start, for he had thought himself unobserved, "only seein' to my gun before turnin' in." "That's right," said George. "Double-load it. Nothin' like bein' ready for whatever may turn up in a wild country like this.
