He had been the cartoonist of the college magazine when I was its editor. He wore, drooping from one corner of his face, a rah-rah bulldog pipe; an enormous portfolio full of enormities of drawing was under one arm, and, dangling at the end of the other, was one of the tiniest satchels that ever concealed a nightgown.
Keep off scab guides to prosperity." "Yuh, sure. Ha! ha! ha!" "Huh! huh!" Morton soon had another thought. "Still, same time, us guys that do the work have got to work out something for ourselves. We can't bank on the rah-rah boys that wear eye-glasses and condescend to like us, cause they think we ain't entirely too dirty for 'em to associate with, and all these writer guys and so on.
There was instant consternation in the group under the chestnut trees. All the rah-rah boys leaped to their feet, but, ere they could stir, there was a whizzing sound on the air. Plunk! Plunk! Ker-plunk! Missiles were flying through the air and the rah-rahs were stopping a good many of them with their own persons. "Hey! Stop that!" bellowed one of the rah-rahs. "You -wow!"
"Not college?" says I. "That's it," says he. "Aw, fudge!" says I. "Honest, I didn't take you for one of them rah-rah boys. Well, if it's that ails you, you're up against it. I don't wonder you had to be jammed into a job with a flyin' wedge. Chee!" I was sorry for him, though. Maybe it was somethin' he couldn't duck. Some of 'em I've known of couldn't.
The rest of us will concern ourselves with finding out whether the rah-rah fellows are still outside the hotel." "Here's the horse -grazing," shouted Greg, two minutes later. "Run back, Dave, and pilot Greg and Harry here, after they've staked the horse down," Prescott suggested. "We don't want to make too much noise, for our tormentors may yet be about somewhere."
Bentley and the young people took seats at a long table reserved for their party. It was a pleasant meal in the midst of an animated scene. Over at another table the rah-rah boys made a good deal of noise until the head waiter went to them, uttering a few words in low tones. After that the rah-rah youngsters quieted down considerably.
Nor did he appear very popular with the other autoists. He had several young men with him, and they made things rather lively about the hotel, occasionally giving what seemed to be college yells. "They're regular 'rah-rah' boys," said Bob, in contempt.
Thank you all," Dave Darrin said, on taking leave. The other boys found words in which to fitly express their pleasure and gratitude. Then, as Mrs. Bentley and the girls went in side the hotel, the Gridley High School boys wheeled to march back to camp. "I wonder what the head waiter said to the rah-rah boys?" asked Reade curiously.
"Unless it will be the way that we shall sneak up behind the rah-rah crowd and square matters!" remarked Darry meaningly. "First of all, we must be sure of their guilt," warned Dick. "It won't do to try to even up a score that's based only on suspicion. Wait until I get a lantern out of the wreck, and then we'll explore the ground to see if we can discover any real proof against the rascals."
"I don't care whether he's a rah-rah boy or not," said Schnitzel, "I know that's what he did when he was up the Orinoco after orchids, and if the tribe had ever caught him they'd have crucified him. And I know this, too: he made forty thousand dollars out of the Nitrate Company on a ten-thousand-dollar job. And I know it, because he beefed to me about it himself, because it wasn't big enough."
