We camped in the woods, and after it was dark skated down the lake. Our advanced guard sent back word that they thought they had seen a fire on an island. We hid our hand-sleighs and packs and went there, but could find no signs of a fire. Rogers said that very likely it was the light from some old rotten stumps, but Martin was not of this opinion. "There was a fire there.
Race!" cried Russ, after he had let Laddie get a little start of him. Away the boys skated, toward the middle of the pond. At first Laddie was ahead, but Russ was the better skater and soon passed him. Russ was near the middle of the pond when suddenly there was a loud crack. Russ heard it and tried to stop himself and turn back.
No other boy in the winter could skate like Murad Ault, with such strength and grace and recklessness thin ice and thick ice were all one to him, but he skated along, dashing in and out, and sweeping away up and down the river in a whirl of vigor and daring, like a black marauder.
Then at midnight the lovers who were to wed whispered their vows in the gloom of the cold church, and walked together through the snow to lay their bridal wreaths upon a grave. Three nights later, Hagadorn skated back again to his home. They wanted him to go by sunlight, but he had his way, and went when Venus made her bright path on the ice.
The latter was at once more honest and more easy; all but the most ambitious or the most conscientious came ta it sooner or later. The youngest among the assistants, themselves fresh from college, mingled naturally enough with the students; they danced and skated and enjoyed their girlish authority.
Vera saw that this was prohibitive, and felt too much vexed to mention Thekla's version of the same; but Magdalen asked, "Have you learnt?" "They were always going to teach me at Warner Grange, but it always snowed, or rained, or skated, I mean we skated, or something, whenever Hubert had time; but I am perfectly dying to learn."
She welcomed the four warmly, but as she was constantly in demand by other gay young friends, they had no chance for connected conversation with her. Indeed, connected conversation was not thought of, unless with one's skating partner. "You're all right on runners," commented Geordie Knapp, as he skated with Dotty. "You must be fond of it." "Oh, I am.
As he skated forward, the former major of the school battalion stripped off the sweater he was wearing. "Join hands with me," he called to his chums. "Now be careful; not too near the hole, remember. I'll throw Ritter the end of the sweater." His chums understood, and while they held hands, Jack advanced cautiously.
Then Frank, nearly exhausted, was drawn out. With Rains on one side, and Hodge on the other, Frank skated back to the shore, where the great crowd of spectators had witnessed the gallant rescue. How the crowd cheered and flung up their hats! "Hurrah for Frank Merriwell!" was the roar that went up. "Hurrah!" "Hurrah for Paul Rains! Hurrah!"
And then she skated to a distance and disappeared in a crowd. "You keep your distance, Koswell," said Tom coldly. "If you don't " He got no further, for just then Koswell let out with his right fist. The blow landed on Tom's shoulder and sent him spinning away a distance of several feet.
