And, if I haven't wronged you in any way, you should be equally manly and apologize for your treatment of me just now." "Oh, bosh!" snapped Mr. Jetson once more. "This is none of my quarrel," interposed Midshipman Joyce, "and I'm not intentionally a promoter of hard feeling. But it seems to me, Jet, that Darry has spoken as fairly as any fellow could.
After a fellow has made a real effort to listen to his conscience, I don't believe he is ever wrong in following it." "Thank you, Danny boy. That's always been the way it has struck me. I don't want to do any injustice to Jetson or to the class, either." "If you have to go to Coventry," announced Dalzell, giving a final brushing to his hair and fitting on his cap, "I'm going with you."
Joyce, I think Hepson is not dancing at present. Will you return to the hop, and, if he is not dancing, will you bring him out here?" "I don't want to see Hepson," cried Midshipman Jetson. "You're the only one I'm interested in in this matter, Mr. Darrin." "You've virtually refused to accept my word." "I do so refuse." "Then you call me " "A liar, if you like!" snapped back Midshipman Jetson.
"Want to hear a part of it, Dan?" questioned Midshipman Darrin. "Of course I do," admitted that young man. "Listen, then," and Dave read from Belle's letter as follows: "'I won't attempt to say that I am not in the least worried or bothered over the turn the Jetson matter has taken," ran Belle's letter. "'I can't help feeling vitally interested in anything that concerns you.
"At first thought it would appear so but Jetson, I believe, is only the victim of an unhappy temper that makes him suspicious and resentful. He's brave enough, and he's never been caught in a dishonorable trick." "Except the tricks he played on you at the football practice." "He passed his word that he intended no trick, and I have been wholly inclined to take his word in the matter."
There were less than twenty of the midshipmen now remaining in the room, so Jetson did not feel as embarrassed as he might have done had he been called upon to give the recital before a class meeting. He told his listeners the story of Dave's splendid conduct in the gym. that afternoon, and of the talk that had followed the reconciliation of the enemies.
A valuable gold repeater, that Jetson remembered young Hepworth having told him had been a presentation to his father, was in its usual pocket, and a cameo ring that Hepworth had always worn on his third finger was likewise fished up from the mud. Evidently the murder belonged to the category of crimes passionel.
What had become of Martin was not known. The natural assumption was that, his money being exhausted, he had returned to his calling, though his name, for some reason, could not be found in any ship's list. That he was one and the same with the man that Jetson had watched till the door of the Hepworths' house had closed upon him there could be no doubt.
"I'm perfectly willing to stop talking about it," agreed Dave. "In fact, since the class adjourned its meeting I haven't said a word on the subject except in answer to some other fellow's remarks." As it happened, the two second classmen with whom Jetson had been talking had now left the sulky midshipman, who, at this moment, was coming down the walk in Dave's direction.
So Dave went off to meet Belle and her mother, while Dan Dalzell hunted up another first classman who also believed that the girls didn't particularly esteem him. That other fellow was Midshipman Jetson. "Mrs. Davis is giving a lawn party this afternoon," announced Dave, after he had lifted his cap in greeting of Mrs. Meade and her daughter. "I have an invitation from Mrs.
