"Why does the com. ever allow that five-year-old imp to travel with men?" grunted Joyce disgustedly, as he sat down again and now realized that the nickel was under him next to the skin. "Danny boy," groaned Dave, "will you ever grow up? Why do you go on making a pest of yourself?" "Why, the fellows need some cheering up, don't they?" Dan inquired.
