"I hear there has been a disgraceful amount of ragging in Marmion lately, and that Douglas Falloden can you conceive it? a man in his last term, whom the University imagines itself to be turning out as an educated specimen! is one of the ring-leaders the ring-leader.
His students were often older than he was and his experiences were many, particularly when he had it out with one student whom he had sized up as a ring-leader in class disturbances. This man was always elaborately innocent when trouble was brewing, but the young professor was sure he was right in his suspicions as to the seat of the trouble.
"A ring-leader. Man of some education, I understand qualified as a barrister, and has taken to journalism. Must make an example of him eh?" The Judge, straining in agony of mind and body, was aware of sudden relief from the pain of his wound. The bandage had slipped, and blood was cooling the torturing fire. A deathly faintness was upon him, and through it he spoke distinctly again of mercy.
Among the rebellious boys are our best singers, and particularly young Anana, who leads the voices of the choir-boys. "I will examine the silly fellows at once. Rameri Rameses' son was among the young miscreants?" "He seems to have been the ring-leader," answered Septah. Ameni looked at the old man with a significant smile, and said: "The royal family are covering themselves with honor!
Anana looked at the prince, dried his eyes quickly; and said: "I was the ring-leader. Ameni will turn me out of the place, and I must return disgraced to my poor mother, who has no one in the world but me." "Poor fellow!" said Rameri kindly. "It was striking at random! If only our attempt had done Pentaur any good!"
"Looks like I had done a fair job, at any rate," he told himself. His gaze turned toward the chief's platform. The chief was there, but his head was swathed in bandages. "Too bad I missed him!" Chester muttered. "He is evidently the ring-leader, and to have downed him would have been the proper thing."
However, Mr. Dyke, our cornet, was singled out, on account of his being the ring-leader, in what the poor called a conspiracy to lessen the size of the bushel, and at the same time to keep up the price of corn. The mob, as they pelted his carriage with brick bats, as his horses galloped, or rather fled, through the town, intimated that if he came the next week they would serve him still worse.
The captain determined to eye with particular vigilance the motions of Harmon, who, from the part he took in the conversation alluded to above, appeared to be the ring-leader. Here, in order that the reader may fully understand the narrative, it becomes necessary for us to make a very short digression.
Dick went to the door, then to the doors opening into the rooms on either side. Then he came back, saying in a low voice: "Colonel, I met one of the German spies tonight. Perhaps the ring-leader. If I see him again I shall recognize him and arrest him instantly. Do you see what this is, sir?" Dick held up the weapon that the carpenter had hurled at Private Mock.
Of course it occurred to me that here was a chance to attempt a capture. But was it? The fellow was so slippery and artful that I risked a greater chance of losing him altogether. And then, to capture one of the quintet or whatever their number might be would more likely than not merely serve as a warning for the ring-leader of the crowd.
