Pender; to once more mentally see that red motor with the khaki-colored top; and to picture the two strangers who had asked him so many questions. Was this really an accident, their being drawn out toward the farm of the unneighborly Sol Smithers; or might it turn out to be the working of destiny? He was aroused by a call that he had been expecting to hear for some time now.
"Our forces are gathered, too, except the six thousand infantry under Pickett and McLaws and the cavalry under Stuart. But they'll come." Harry and Dalton ate breakfast quickly, and, hurrying back, stood near their chief, ready for any service. All the Southern forces were in line. Heth held the right, Pender the left, and Anderson, Hood, and McLaws and the others were stationed between.
When those cronies of Ted spoke of following a trail could they have had any reference to the track of the wonderful red automobile with the khaki-colored top; and occupied by the two parties whom Mr. Pender wished to catch, as he said, "with the goods on?" Paul hoped not. It would complicate things very much; and in the confusion the rascals might manage to slip away.
"You ought to come and take a look at our camp," continued Flapp. "It's a real interesting sight." "All the girls are welcome," said Pender, feeling he must say something. "We'd be willing to show you the way at any time," added Rockley, and placed his hand on the arm of one of the girls. "Please let me be," said the girl, and walked away.
The amount paid for the works and plant by the new company was £450,000, and we believe Mr. Young took shares to the extent of one-fourth of that amount; Mr. Pender, of Minard, the next largest shareholder, holding stock to the extent of £70,000 more.
Pender hesitated a moment for words, casting about with his hands in the air and hunching his shoulders. A perceptible shudder ran over him. "What I can only describe as blackness," he replied in a low tone; "the face of a dark and evil soul." "You destroyed that, too?" queried the doctor sharply.
"But after this let us keep a sharp eye on Flapp, Pender & Company." And so it was agreed. On the following morning all of the cadets but Harry Moss appeared in the messroom. "Joe Davis says Harry is quite sick," said Powell to Dick. "That's too bad. Have they sent for a doctor?" "I don't know."
And do you think it can have gone beyond Stanhope? I hope you didn't give the gentleman any idea that you had ever heard a word about him or his car?" "Oh! I give you my word, sir, that they never dreamed I knew a thing about them. A scout has to learn how to keep his feelings in check, you see, Mr. Pender. I acted just as naturally as Jack did; and he knew nothing."
This came to me as a certainty in the middle of my noisy laughter and distressed me." "Any impression who it could have been?" asked the doctor, now listening with close attention to every word, very much on the alert. Pender hesitated and tried to smile. He brushed his hair from his forehead with a nervous gesture.
Pender and Jackson pleaded for another chance, but Captain Putnam would not listen, and in the end the evil-minded cadets had to leave the school, never to return. "Putnam Hall is well rid of that crowd," said Songbird Powell, and the majority of the students agreed with him.
