A moment later she left the store, and her companion went with her. "My, but they were shy!" laughed Pender. "Rockley, you didn't make any impression at all. Nor you either, Flapp." "Humph! Wonder who they are?" murmured Lew Flapp. "Let's ask the storekeeper and find out." "Those girls are twins," said the proprietor of the establishment. "Twins!" cried Rockley.
'We like it much better oh, much better quieter, said Matilda Rockley. 'Oh, yes, assented Emmie Rockley, her sister. 'I'm sure you do, agreed the visitor. But whether the two Rockley girls really liked it better, or whether they only imagined they did, is a question.
"You ought to come and take a look at our camp," continued Flapp. "It's a real interesting sight." "All the girls are welcome," said Pender, feeling he must say something. "We'd be willing to show you the way at any time," added Rockley, and placed his hand on the arm of one of the girls. "Please let me be," said the girl, and walked away.
And Pender took up the call, and so did Rockley. Again Jackson did his best. The finish of the race was now but twenty yards off. "Go in and win, Dick," came from Larry Colby. "I'm about used up," and he let Dick go ahead. Dick was almost as fresh as at the start and slowly but surely he kept gaining upon Jackson until the two were not over two yards apart. "Hurrah, Captain Rover is crawling up!"
Here, I'll drink with you, and then I'll smoke a cigar with Moss. If you are going to be men you want to start right in. Eh, Rockley?" "That's right, Lew," answered Rockley, as he lit a fresh cigar. "What you need is another glass, Davis," came from Pender. "It will act as a bracer. Just try it and see." "I I don't want to get get " faltered Davis. "Get what?" "Intoxicated really I don't "
He could not do with Matilda, without the money. But he did not want her for the money. When he got this clear in his mind, he sought for an opportunity to tell it her, lurking and watching. But she avoided him. In the evening the lawyer came. Mr. Rockley seemed to have a new access of strength a will was drawn up, making the previous arrangements wholly conditional.
"And so does Rockley know how to pull," continued Hurdy. "And what is more, he knows a trick or two that will pull your fellows over the line in no time." "I don't believe it, Hurdy." "Want to bet?" "No, I don't bet. Just the same, I think Rockley's crowd will lose." Although Sam would not bet, some of the other students did, so that by the time the match was to come off quite a sum was up.
I was shook up but not hurt, and when I got up I saw the door and wondered what it meant. Then I looked inside and after that went back to camp to tell you fellows about it." "It will make a dandy place for secret meetings," suggested Rockley. "We can come here and do what we please." "Just what I thought," said Pender.
'Tell her in front of me, said Hadrian. So Mr. Rockley sent for his daughters. At last they came, pale, mute, stubborn. Matilda seemed to have retired far off, Emmie seemed like a fighter ready to fight to the death. The sick man reclined on the bed, his eyes bright, his puffed hand trembling. But his face had again some of its old, bright handsomeness.
"For all I know this may be a dose strong enough to make an elephant sick. I don't think I'll drink it, no matter what they do." "Prisoner, drink!" was the cry. "Thanks, but I am not thirsty," answered Dick, as coolly as he could. "Besides, I had my dose of mud and water a long time ago." "He must drink!" roared Rockley.
