Diamond drew aside, his friends gathering about him. Bruce Browning interested himself in what was passing between Rattleton and Ditson, and it was plain that he was urging them to do something. After a few minutes Harry approached Frank, a troubled look on his face. "It's an outrage!" he indignantly exclaimed. "Ditson insists that it be a degular ruel I mean a regular duel with rapiers.
Bloodgood and Slush proved good food for conversation, but the boys tired of that after a while. Diamond went out by himself, and Frank went to Tutor Maybe's room, where he spent the time till the gong sounded for supper. "Come, Harry," said Frank, appearing in the stateroom, "aren't you ready for supper?" Rattleton gave a groan. "Don't talk to me about eating!" he exclaimed.
"He is laughing at you," hurriedly whispered Ditson, lying glibly. "I just heard him tell Rattleton that he could have knocked the stuffing out of you in less than a quarter of a minute. He says you'll never dare face him again." "Oh, he does! oh, he does!" came huskily from Diamond's lips. "Well, we'll see about that we'll see!" With Ditson's aid he got upon his feet.
He had a trick of posing in the box, and he delivered the ball with a flourish. The scrub team did not have many batters, and so it came about that the first three men up were disposed of in one-two-three order, not one of them making a safe hit or reaching first. Rattleton had vainly endeavored to get upon the regular team.
Rattleton, gayly joined the pleasant little lunch-party at the Casino with which the yacht voyage came to an end.

In point of fact, Mr.
Just then the chapel bell clanged, and the professor exclaimed: "Bless me! we'll be late if we're not careful!" Away he hurried.

"I didn't know you wanted to howl first."
"Well, you got yourself on a string, and pretty well tangled up. Gentlemen" turning to the freshmen present "here is the traitor who has been giving our secrets away to the sophs. Both Rattleton and myself heard him acknowledge it. Take a good look at him, so you will know him in the future." "Oh, we'll know him!" cried many voices. "It's a mistake " Roll began. "That's right," agreed Frank.
It was some time before Inza recovered, but in the end she flung off her weakness with a sudden show of resolution, forced a laugh, and declared that she was all right. "Where is the chundering old bump I mean the blundering old chump?" spluttered Harry Rattleton. "Didn't stop to say a word? Well, somebody ought to say something to him! I'd like the privilege.
It's all right. You do as I say." Frank tried to resist, but Rattleton dragged him aside, being able to do so because Browning found himself occupied by a little freshman who stuffily blocked his way, declaring that Merriwell should have a show. Frank was more than disgusted by the result of the affair.
I do my best to laugh when Captain Rattleton tells his garrison stories. I play whist laboriously. Am I not trying to do the duties of life? and I have a right to be garrulous and egotistical, because I have been reading Montaigne all the morning.
