Harvard roared, while the Yale crowd was silent. A great mob of freshmen was up from New Haven to see the game and watch Merriwell's work, and some of them immediately expressed disappointment and dismay. "Here is where Merriwell meets his Waterloo," said Sport Harris. "He'll be batted out before the game is fairly begun." That was quite enough to arouse Rattleton, who heard the remark.
When the shouting had subsided in a measure, Rattleton was heard to shout from his perch on the shoulders of a companion, to which position he had shinned in his excitement: "Right here is where we trick our little do, gentlemen er I mean we do our little trick. Ready to the air of 'Oh, Give Us a Drink, Bartender. Let her go!"
"It don't make a dit of bifference, Frank!" spluttered Harry Rattleton. "I don't care if you have got his card! That thug lied like blazes! Putnam may be selfish he may have other faults, but he never hired anybody to break your arm." "I cannot think he would do such a thing myself," said Frank; "but this Plug Kirby, as he is called, seemed honest and in earnest.
Bart Hodge advanced and tore Starbright from Rattleton, which gave Morgan an opportunity to break away, and he did so laughingly. "The same old Rattleton," he said. "Harry, you haven't changed a bit." "Yes, I have," contradicted the curly-haired chap. "I'm more mignified and danly I mean more dignified and manly. See how sedate I am. Oh, ginger! isn't this a jolly surprise!
"Can you get the fellows together?" "I think so. Hodge, Browning, and Rattleton are right here in New York. Jack Ready and Joe Gamp are in Chicago. That makes six. With you and Starbright I shall have eight, and " "Not me!" cried Morgan. "Yes, you." "Impossible! I'm out of condition. Besides that, I'm broke, and I couldn't " "Don't worry about the money question, Dade.
"As I have said," observed Frank, halting and speaking grimly. "I have regarded Burnham Putnam as my friend; but if he has done as you claim for the reasons you give he has not shown himself to be very friendly. There is likely to be an understanding between us." Rattleton nodded. "That's right," he said. "He may deny it, but I know I am not off my trolley.
How proud she was of me! All the better part of my nature I owe to her, God bless her!" Frank spoke with deep feeling, and Rattleton was touched and silenced. Merriwell arose and walked the floor, and there was an expression of the utmost tenderness and adoration on his face a look that brought something like a mist to Harry's eyes.
It removed a certain amount of the stain, but did not remove it all. At last, being thoroughly worn out, Rattleton said: "I'll give it up for to-night, fellows. Perhaps I'll be able to get the rest off in the morning. I'll poultice my face and neck. But you'll have to watch out, Frank. They say they will use you worse than this when they get hold of you."
In the meantime Rattleton had been cornered, and the disappointed sophs resolved to escape with him. They lifted him and made a rush for the cab. He was bundled in, and away went the cab. Frank rushed into Billy's and gave the alarm. He was out again in a very few seconds, with a crowd of excited freshmen at his heels; but when they came to look for the sophomores and Rattleton they found nothing.
Harry and Frank were seated close to each other, and when it was all over and the two boys knew they had passed all right, Harry came to Frank, held out his hand, and said: "I believe your name is Merriwell. Mine is Rattleton and I am from Ohio. Merriwell, you are a brick, and I am much obliged to you. Let's room together. What do you say?" "I am agreeable," smiled Frank.
