Presently there was loud knocking in the front of the building and the slamming of a door. Then a trunk was dumped into the captain's cutter, and the horse started off, carrying Peleg Snuggers and Jasper Grinder behind him.

"We are growing notorious, it would seem," whispered Dick to Sam. Back of the dock stood the big carryall attached to Putnam Hall, with the old Hall driver, Peleg Snuggers, on the box. "Hullo, Peleg, old friend!" shouted Tom, waving his hand at the man. "How are we to-morrow, as the clown in the circus puts it?"

"See you later," cried Pepper to Andy. "Be careful!" "Don't worry; we'll get there before you do," answered Andy. Two blankets were arranged as saddles on the runaway team's backs and a few minutes later Andy and Peleg Snuggers started after the carriage. "Let us catch up to them," cried the acrobatic youth, and urged his steed forward on a gallop.

All were hidden in a snow bank directly under the dormitory window. This accomplished, Dick led the horse up to the back of the stable and unhitched him. He could hear George Strong and the utility man talking less than twenty feet away. "Very well, Snuggers, I'll be back shortly," he heard, coming from the head assistant, and Strong walked from the stable toward the Hall.

"Oh, I know you well enough. I've heard you were the most pigheaded teacher they ever had at Putnam Hall," rejoined Dick warmly. "I shall take pains to let Mrs. Stanhope know what they think of you, too." "Was he discharged?" asked Dom. "He told mamma that he had left of his own accord." "He was discharged," answered Dick, who had got word through Peleg Snuggers.

The telegraph office at Cedarville was not a large place, and but few private messages were received there. As Dick drove up the operator looked at him and at Snuggers. "Hullo, I was just going to send a message up to your place," he said to the utility man. "All right, I'll take it," replied Snuggers. "You can pay me for the messenger service," he added with a grin.

"And this bread and water won't warm him up nohow. I've most a mind to bring him some hot tea on the sly, and a sandwich, too." The general utility man tried to insert a key in the lock, but failed on account of the key on the inside. "Oh! oh!" moaned Sam. "Help! help!" "What's the row?" questioned Snuggers. "Is that you, Snuggers?" "Yes, Master Rover." "I'm most frozen to death!

"Master Thomas Rover, do you know anything of your brother Richard?" asked an under-teacher. "Perhaps he is having a talk with Mr. Grinder," said Tom. "Oh!" Then the under-teacher noticed that Mr. Grinder's chair was also vacant, and said no more. While the boys were eating, Peleg Snuggers came to the door and looked carefully about the mess hall.

"Everybody who rides can chip in," he added to the surrounding cadets. While the lads were waiting for the farmer to hook up his horses, some of them and Peleg Snuggers examined the carryall. A wheel had come off, and the glass had been broken, but otherwise the turnout had suffered but little. "I am glad it is no worse," said Andy. "I'd hate to see that old carryall put out of business.

"No, you didn't tell me, and that's why I'm so anxious to know. If she's got the mumps, and the chilblains, and the ingrowing warts " "Oh, crickey! I knew it!" groaned Peleg Snuggers. "I says to myself as I was a-drivin' over, 'if thet Tom Rover comes back, I might as well throw up my job, for he won't give nobody a rest! If you would only "
