Then Tom Mardell turned so suddenly that he ran full tilt into the teacher with whom he was racing. Both spun around and came down on the ice with a crash. "Oh!" gasped Mardell. "I didn't mean to do that!" "I I know you didn't!" panted Mr. Strong. "You have finished the race in fine shape, I must declare!" And then he arose slowly to his feet and Mardell followed.
And in a moment more the pair were off. "Hurrah! A race between Mr. Strong and Tom Mardell!" came in a shout from a number of the students, and soon there was a general "lining up" to see how it would terminate. "Go in, Tom!" shouted Tom Rover. "Don't let him beat you!" "Mr. Strong is behind!" came presently. "Tom is going to win out, sure!" On and on went the skaters, until the rock was gained.
The horse and buggy soon came up to them and passed on, the three boys keeping out of sight until the turnout was gone. Dave gave a deep sigh. "I guess Mr. Poole means business," he said. "What do you mean?" questioned the senator's son. "I mean he is going to have me locked up." "Why?" asked Phil. "That man in the buggy with him was Mr. Mardell, the police justice."
Boys were flying in every direction, and mingled with them were a dozen or more girls and a few grown persons. George Strong, the head teacher, was there, enjoying himself fully as much as the pupils who loved him. "I'll race you, Mr. Strong!" sang out one of the older boys, Tom Mardell. "Done, Master Mardell," was the teacher's answer. "To yonder rock and return."
