His father was a skipper." "What! A sea captain?" asked Hartwick. "No, a bank cashier. He skipped to Canada." "Wow!" whooped Tad Horner. "How that hurt! Don't do it again!" "You fellows have things twisted," asserted Parker, with apparent seriousness. "I have private advices that Merriwell's father is a poor dentist." "A poor dentist, eh?" "Yes, rather poor, but he manages to pull out."
"Yes," was the reply, "and I am going with you." Bart hesitated. He was tempted to undress and return to bed, but he had received his money from home that day and, having lost heavily the last time he played, he was anxious for "satisfaction." "I'm not Merriwell's guardian," he thought. "I guess the fellow is able to take care of himself."
In the boathouse the great Bob Collingwood, of the 'Varsity crew, gave the freshmen some advice, and they listened to him with positive awe. He had heard of Merriwell's attempt to introduce the English stroke, and he did not approve of it. After he had got through Merriwell took his men aside into another part of the boathouse and warned them against thinking of anything Collingwood had said.
He tried to speak, but his voice was so hoarse that his words were unintelligible. A blue line seemed to form around his mouth. "Merriwell's got him!" Bruce Brown lazily whispered in Tad Horner's ear. "See him squirm!" Tad was relieved, although he endeavored not to show it; but a satisfied smile crept over his rosy face, and he felt like giving Frank Merriwell the "glad hand."
"Yes; I have begun the work of ruining Merriwell's plans, bringing him to poverty and wretchedness and destroying him at last. Did I tell you once that I was the bosom friend of Porfias del Norte? I am Del Norte himself! "Del Norte, a youth, died in that cave; but Del Norte, the old man you see before you, rose from it.
"There will be no fighting here," he said, loftily, "but I shall not forget Merriwell's blow, and he shall pay dearly for it. I will make him wish he had not been so free with his fist." "As for you, Miss Spitfire," turning to Inza, "you must feel proud to have a friend in a fellow of his class! Do not forget what I told you about him and " "Silence, sir!" cried Inza, contemptuously.
If Blossom had secured a lead equal to Merriwell's he would have made third easily. As it was, the catcher snapped the ball down with a short-arm throw, and Blossom was caught by a foot. Then it was Harvard's turn, and the Cambridge lads made the most of it. A great roar went up, and the crimson seemed to be fluttering everywhere. "Har-vard! Har-vard! Har-vard! 'Rah! 'rah! 'rah! 'Rah! 'rah! 'rah!
"There might be money in it if they put her through in the proper manner; but it's Merriwell's idea, I reckon, to capitalize her at her proper value; and that will make it necessary for the men who build to take just as much risk as the general public who buys the stock. It doesn't seem possible that a shrewd old fox like Watson Scott can be dragged into such a dangerous affair.
"How did you happen to show up at such an opportune time, Dunnerwurst?" inquired Merry. "Vun veek ago," answered the Dutchman, "vile the flute vos learning to blay me in Cinsanity, Ohio, a newsbaper reads me apout Vrang Merriwell's great School Athletic Envelopment uf. My mint made me up to come right avay soon as der car fare coot raise me. Und here I vos." "Well, you're welcome to Merry Home.
Over at the east of Farnham Hall a group of laborers, among whom were fully twenty of the Farnham boys, were completing the foundations for Merriwell's new manual-training school building. A glimpse of the distant athletic ground showed a number of boys hard at work on the track and the baseball field. There was a look of serene happiness on Inza's face, while Elsie was positively rosy.
